Teaching and Learning

“… learning is ultimately a fundamentally human endeavor best accomplished by humans actually interacting with other humans.“*


Teaching and Learning in the online environment are different from traditional face-to-face classrooms. That’s why the ACM Online curriculum has been developed from the ground up with the E-Learner in mind. The online student wants flexibility and diversity in instruction with more interaction and collaboration than boring lectures. They want access to their professors to ask questions and share ideas with prompt feedback. Most of all, E-Learners wish to be in a setting where they can express their creative ideas to solve pedagogical issues, leading to successful teaching outcomes.

Teacher preparedness is a significant issue, especially among new, untenured music educators. A 2011 survey by the US Department of Education reveals that fifty percent of teachers are not prepared to meet the challenges of their profession.[1] Although there have been mitigated attempts to remedy this problem through pre-service and in-service professional development and workshops at the college/university and school district levels, the results have been mixed due to traditional lectures by experts on topics music teachers may have little or no interest in. ...
