Hi Dr. Winter;

Thank you for allowing me to review your paper. I consider it a honor. I think you have a good paper. The topic is worth researching. The abstract looks good. However the introduction seems to be a bit too long. If you can condense it to may be 2 pages. There seems to be some anthropomorphism issues in the paper e.g. in the "future Recommendations" section "The study found out that ......" could be changed to "The researcher found that ....." . Again, this is a good paper; you have done a good job. Thank you.

Dr. Winter,

Thank you for sharing your research on BBLT. You have offered data that should prove valuable to instructors and universities. I would like to offer the following suggestions that, I believe, will enhance the presentation of your research.

1. Like Salimat Bakare, I too found the introduction far too long. Much of the information presented in the introduction is contained in the arguments of the paper itself. 

2. The abstract, like the introduction, is far too long. Shortening the abstract to one paragraph would wet the reviewers appetite for what follows in the paper.

3. There is some redundancy in the paper; such as - "The participants in this study were online adjunct and full-time faculty from two public universities and one private university in the Southwest region of the United States." Perhaps this information could be abbreviated after its original mention in the paper.

4. The data provided prior to Table 4 should be double checked for accuracy.

Overall, I think you have completed and presented valuable information.

 Have a blessed day,

Ron Steadman

Hi Ron;

Yes, I agree with you on the abstract. Most people say 250 words; which should be like half a page. Thank you.

What is the focus of the manuscript? Is this focus valid, important, and relevant?

To determine to what extent postsecondary online faculty utilized brain-based learning techniques as part of their academic practices in the online asynchronous learning environment and to assess differences in the use of techniques between on-line full time and on-line part time faculty.

Validity can be found in the assessment process posed by each step performed such as: using responses from 539 participants with 55 questions creating a bank of quantitative data that was collected, measured, and analyzed with statistical methods to complete a hypothesis.

This research is important and relevant today more than yesterday. Learning has been forever changed due to today's technology. As we move forward we must consider that each individual has their own learning styles and that each professor has their own teaching styles. This was a challenge in the face to face modality. However, now with electronic education taking hold on every grade level we must find a way to focus education on each individual learner to reach their individual needs with differentiation. This research can help to lead in the on-going practices of differentiating to meet the individual student needs. With brain-based learning techniques (BBLT), we can figure out the learning styles and needs of each student.

Dr. Winter,

I enjoyed reading your research. This is a very interesting topic. I have attached my feedback. 

Thank you,

Dr. Deborah Wheeler
