Quotes from the episode


I have been surprised at how some of us don't think about the cost of what we're requiring our students to use.
-Ann Taylor

It's the instructor that's making the difference, that's making the content come alive.
-Ann Taylor

If you're boring face to face and monotone or you just kinda mumble and separate, you're probably not gonna come across great recorded either.
-Ann Taylor

Text first, not video first.
-Ann Taylor

We start with the written word, and then we make sure that anywhere it's gonna make a difference or it's gonna engage the students, we incorporate multimedia pictures and graphics and interactive tools and video and so forth.
-Ann Taylor
