Today's Message

The SUNY Learning Network’s Alexandra M. Pickett and Rob Piorkowski explore effective uses of “cloud” web 2.0 to enhance online teaching and learning. How can you use web 2.0 to present engaging online content? How can you use web 2.0 to facilitate engaging online collaboration and enhance interaction? How can you use web 2.0 to enhance online student feedback and assessment? Have you thought about using blogs in your course so that your students can reflect or make their thinking visible to you? How would you assess and give them feedback? Have you thought about podcasting or screencasting to provide engaging online student feedback? Could video enhance how you present your content?

Find out what happens when several web 2.0 technologies (twitter, voicethread, diigo, edublogs, jing, seesmic, youtube, podomatic, audacity) are stitched together into one fully online course and how the students reacted. On Wednesday, May 18, from 10:00 a.m. to noon in E. H. Butler Library 318, you can explore selected tools for yourself and find out how to share what you know with others in the SLN/SUNY online teaching and learning community.

This workshop is open only to faculty who have taught an online/hybrid course and are looking for new ways to present engaging online content, incorporate online collaboration, enhance interaction, and provide effective online feedback and assessments for students.
