Faculty Spotlight

Donna Rebadow, Psychology and Health Sciences Faculty

Donna teaches most of her classes online. Since the classes are all online it is important to Donna that she do her best to assist her students in successfully completing the course. Donna knows that not all students can learn successfully online, so at the start of the class she incorporates a web based introduction to the different types of learning styles. The students take an online quiz that gives them feedback on how they learn best (Visual, Auditory, or Tactile/Kinesthetic).

Online courses can be tougher than in-class courses, and even tougher on students who are mostly auditory learners. Auditory learners are directed to download a free easy-to-use piece of software that will read all the online written materials to them. This ensures a high level of student success for online course completion.
