“I’m Not Crazy!”
I find myself saying this often after trying to advocate for an online instruction technique to a naysayer. The annual AACIS conference is not only a great place to network with independent study/distance ed. folks, it’s a chance to validate that I am not crazy for working in online education.
At the 2007 conference in Ogden, I was able to attend a session that provided me with a real way of offering lab sciences online–that had been fully researched, to boot! This has been a major sticking point on my campus and seeing it presented and being done so well was a much needed affirmation for me.
I am already looking forward to St. Louis because I am sure by then I will be feeling a little nuts and will be in need of the benefits the conference offers.
So it is nice to know I am not crazy; either that, or everyone at the conference is …hmmmm.
