A Crystal Lake faculty member’s formula for success

“Tracey came to me almost two years ago with an interest in and a plan for taking her math courses to the hybrid format (utilizing both in-seat and online components in her classes). Since then, she has successfully used a variety of technology solutions to enhance student learning. Our students really benefit from her ability to use a range of approaches to meet the learning styles of all students she encounters.”
