The seminar, which covered theoretical and practical challenges of online education for life-long learners, was part of the Around the Latte Stone Seminar Series, a special collaborative series by the University of Guam\u2019s School of Education and English Communication with the Chamorro Studies Program.<\/span><\/p>\n

The seminar was led by UOG Professor of Education Yukiko Inoue-Smith, Ph.D., along with Christopher S. Schreiner, PhD., in an intuitive presentation on online education.<\/span><\/p>\n

Online education is learning with the assistance of the internet and personal computer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEducation is everything,\u201d Inoue-Smith said. \u201cIt is important for future instructors to become life-long educators to help students survive in a technology-based society.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The seminar also includes the challenges of online education that may develop in global learning communities over time.<\/span><\/p>\n

The challenges consist of the method and duration of time participants take to learning material, the constant changes in course design to incorporate the use of technology, and focusing more on objectives and expectations rather than technological aspects.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a world growing with technology, Inoue-Smith explained, \u201cWithout students participating in online learning communities, there is no online course. It is imperative for people, not just students, to learn in general.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The goal behind this seminar is to inspire students to become great teachers so they can be able to inspire their future students in a world that is coming closer together online.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
