Dr. Ellyn Arwood, professor in the School of Education, is designing online courses for the new postmaster’s program in Neuroeducation. The courses will take advantage of new lecture capture technology that allows learners to view lectures and materials from multiple viewpoints. According to Dr. Arwood, the majority of learners today, even adults, are visual thinkers and need to be able to see an instructor’s face when she’s speaking, see concepts illustrated visually, and cross reference written materials with visuals to integrate concepts fully.
