If online learning students aren’t engaged, blame their teacher - Alexandra M. Pickett, Quartz

A very wise old online professor, Bill Pelz, once told me that the lecture is the most efficient way to pass important concepts and theories from the professor’s notepad to the student’s iPad without going through either brain. So, I am very curious. Why do students fail to engage in discussions/interactions? What went wrong in the discussion activity? We need to think about this from students’ perspective. I think there are a lot of boring professors out there who would much rather blame the internet for the lack of attention of their students, than turn a critical eye on themselves to ask: How do I engage my students? How relevant am I to my students? http://qz.com/68962/if-online-students-arent-engaged-its-the-teachers-fault/
