6 Types of Blended Learning

10 Types Of Writing For eLearning
When I started counting the types of writing that are potentially required to produce an online course, I was stunned.

As I approach a significant academic milestone this semester with the completion of my dissertation and PhD, I thought I’d share a very handy iPad application I’ve been using to annotate, correct and edit PDF versions of my own writing recently: iAnnotate PDF . iAnnotate PDF is $10 on iTunes , but it’s worth every penny.
