Have you been amazed at the social communities that your students participate in using Internet tools and wondered if they might be helpful in the classroom?
Have you been impressed at how students, and perhaps colleagues, have used digital environments i.e. discussion boards, blogs, wiki’s, and social bookmarking/annotation tools, to name a few, to create engaging assignments? In short, do you want to increase the participatory learning in your course, both in and out of the classroom?
In this five-day Institute, facilitated by Mary Ann Shea, Director, Faculty Teaching Excellence Program, http://www.colorado.edu/ftep/ and Professor Mike Lightner, Chair, Electrical, Computer & Energy Engineering, participants will explore these questions. You will have an opportunity to learn certain Web 2.0 tools, experience lecture capture, and practice with structured online discussions as a means to make thinking visible. You will work within a supportive learning community composed of your faculty colleagues in order to develop new strategies for creating student learning communities in your classrooms.
