Teaching in the Digital Age, Part III: Using Social Media and Collaboration Tools to Promote Student Learning

Join your colleagues for a discussion on ways to engage students and promote learning through the use of wikis, blogs, and social media. Kate Drabinski from Gender and Women’s Studies and Tim Phin from Ancient Studies share ways that they have used these platforms to introduce students to digital concepts and practices. The discussion will center on how the assignments address their learning goals for students, how they assess those assignments, how students have evaluated them, and how you might adopt similar assignments in your own courses. Lunch will be provided.
