"I have met many wonderful students, from many states and countries, during the years of delivering the Online Masters of Education in Reading. The online format is rich in content, rigor, and has a high level of interaction among the students and professors. The content knowledge is delivered through a variety of print and visual formats and we interact through the virtual environment using Threaded Discussion, Virtual Chats, and E-mail. We know each other well and share a genuine love for literacy at all levels." Dr. Marian Beckman |
