Geoff Cain's blog for exploring pedagogy, instructional design, technology, online learning, web 2.0, and MUVEs.
At the heart of my teaching philosophy is my absolute belief in my student’s ability to learn. It is my goal as an instructor to create an environment and classroom community that facilitates those abilities.
Different students from different backgrounds, cultures, and abilities all have their have a contribution to make to this learning community. Both as a teacher and an instructional designer, it is important to create learning experiences that enables everyone’s ability to participate.
