"I love teaching online. It is flexible and engaging in so many ways that are not possible in a classroom setting. It has given me new ways to communicate--I can link my words directly to websites that illustrate concepts and information instantly. It's almost like letting students see what I'm thinking."
Ingrid Cartwright, Art Professor
