Embracing Online Learning  

Dr. Krieg recognizes the need for change in the education industry. He firmly believes that today's students should not be educated in the same ways as students were 30 to 40 years ago, relying solely on static text.

By adopting online learning platforms, Dr. Krieg ensures that his students have access to up-to-date, dynamic and interactive educational content that reflects the rapidly evolving world they will enter upon graduation. He believes this shift in teaching and learning methodologies will help set his students apart and put them on a more level playing field, equipping them with knowledge necessary to thrive in today's digital and interconnected world.

 

 

Bringing Real-World Experiences to the Classroom

However, Dr. Krieg shared that by leveraging Cengage's platform all instructors, regardless of their technological proficiency, can effectively navigate the online learning environment.

Notably, retired industry experts seeking to transition into teaching can seamlessly do so with the aid of Cengage's user-friendly platform. This allows instructors to spend less time on lesson planning and more time sharing their real-world experiences and lessons in the classroom, ultimately enhancing the learning experience for students.
