Fundamental challenges to old practices
3 Pillars of Successful Education (Elements of Quality Educational)
Outstanding student, (Surface, Deep, Strategic, Learners)
Outstanding faculty, (Knowledge, What & How to teach)

One of the challenges that we are facing is the increased pressure on teachers to deliver content for their students, this often results in lots of handouts, power points and docs.
Many Course on Virtual Learning Env. are stuffed full with material with little to do with them other than taking notes.
Personalized ResourcesLearning is influenced by ( Tasks & Resources ).
soWe need to create Resources that match learning
style, not matching our teaching style.
If they created the Resources themselves, there is a likely hood that they’ll meet their
Learning Preferences and Needs.
