Dr. Meredith Abarca visited Academic Technologies and shared her experiences as an Associate Professor in the Department of English, and as someone who teaches Literature in the online format. She discusses how fully online courses can be as rigorous and creative as face-to face classes, and that there are additional benefits to teaching online that can’t be replicated in F2F teaching environments.
