Patricia Cruz's curator insight, September 16, 2023 5:52 PM
Now at days higher education leans on your fluency in technology. For distance learning we must be digitally literate to be able to utilize mobile devices. Although we know that learning these platforms is a work in progress, we must take initiative to learn it. In order to get there we need to engage in strategic implementations, focus on students, build educational partnerships, and develop strong collaborations. If we exercise those practices they can lead to rich learning experiences.
