How to make an online lab successful - Crystal Sands, eCampus News

The secret to the OWL’s success lies in its ability to bridge pedagogy with multimedia that engages, not just entertains. When the team at Excelsior College set out to build a new kind of Online Writing Lab, the team focused on using multimedia to reinforce key writing concepts for students. The OWL targets beginning writers who might have little experience with writing or experience so distant the writing process and vocabulary of writing felt foreign to them. The goal was to make writing instruction simple, clear, and more memorable for these students. http://www.ecampusnews.com/top-news/excelsior-writing-lab-523/
