Posted: Friday, January 25, 2013A Working Session: Advancing a Virtual Teaching Environment
Please join us for the online working session "Advancing a Virtual Teaching Environment" on Tuesday, February 5, and Tuesday, February 26, from noon to 1:30 p.m.
3-D worlds are potentially important tools that are likely to gain widespread adoption as colleges become populated with "digital native" students. The International Center for Studies in Creativity has conducted some initial experiments with a 3-D virtual teaching environment called Qube, which seems to offer an interesting combination of features that make it particularly appropriate for distance teaching, learning, and creative collaboration in various disciplines (below is a link to a YouTube link that describes the platform). We need your help (ideas and suggestions) to further advance the development of this platform across disciplines. In this working session, we will
- demonstrate how we facilitate and teach our graduate creativity courses by using this innovative technology;
- offer participants a chance to experiment with the platforms and its features;
- provide participants immediate access and support when using platform for their class instructions.
This working session is supported by a SUNY Innovative Instruction Technology Grant. Thank you for your help. Please direct questions and R.S.V.P. to John Cabra, associate professor of creative studies.
