Engaging Students Where They Are: Online

New ways of thinking about student learning are emerging as higher education experiments with  Web 2.0's social and knowledge networking tools. Online software and communication environments are already changing the social and learning habits of today's college students. In the workshop for which this site was created, Lynda Milne presents highlights of recent research and promising practices, and offer hands-on experience with tools that permit you to engage students outside of the classroom.

We'll look at some of the "free and easy" tools like YouTube and Google Groups, but also podcasts and other learning materials being shared by faculty and colleges around the country. Use these "out of class" resources to make what happens IN the classroom more meaningful and productive.
