According to Dr. Jason Hiles, The Integration of Faith and Learning (IFL) is "The scholarly process of joining together knowledge of God and knowledge of the universe for the sake of developing true, comprehensive, and satisfactory understandings of ourselves and our world which enable us to live with purpose and integrity," (2014). This joining together of "knowledge of God and knowledge of the universe," is a worthwhile goal, but how should the online instructor undertake such a task? This presentation brings to light three opportunities that most professors can take advantage of immediately in their online classrooms.
