Engaging Online

Welcome

This site was created for a brief (one-hour) college faculty workshop.

Because the topic is one that frequently consumes days and weeks of precious faculty time, a one-hour workshop could only cover things at the surface.

So the site is open to workshop participants as a post-workshop resource and as a place to share their own new ideas and findings in engaging students online.

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.
