We have an online support group on our campus at MCC where we view Open SUNY Exemplary Courses this semester. We are exploring your course for our next meeting so faculty can get some ideas of best practices. I really love your Technology in the Classroom course! Nice work and thanks for having it available for exploration on the Open SUNY site.

Sincerely,

Andrea Gilbert
