Overman shared with readers the lessons she learned when she taught her first ever online course, Memory & Memory Disorders – PSY384OL, a cognitive/clinical neuroscience of memory course:
“I was forced to be creative about how to present course material andensure that my students had a solid understanding of the information. Ialso realized I needed to revise my opinion of online teaching andthose who participate in it. I now know that online courses are not apale and lifeless version of traditional courses or worse, a ‘pay foran A’ scam in which everyone teaches him/herself and everyone gets agood grade.”
