<p>Getting our students to study can be quite a task.&nbsp; In an online environment this task can be greatly enhanced because we do not have the face to face interaction as we do in the live classroom.&nbsp; I try to encourage my student learning in the live chat and in the discussion board.&nbsp; Getting them to understand how this information will be of value to them in their future will increase their chances of studying.&nbsp; I do not believe that students excel by memorizing facts.&nbsp; I believe that they will excel by understanding concepts and knowing how to integrate this information to their future careers.&nbsp; Real world examples can help with this task.</p>
