This webcast will explore examples of creating both virtual and physical
learning environments that can fuel innovation and collaboration. 

 

Explore an emergent virtual learning environment co-created with
students, and how the students collaborated to achieve their learning
goals. See how a simple, creative combination of blogs, wikis, social
bookmarking, Twitter, and an "embedded librarian" empowered student
engagement, provided opportunities for just-in-time and active learning,
and led to a greater sense of shared academic authority and
responsibility. 

 

Webcast Learning Outcomes:

 

*         Observe how simple easy-to-use Web 2.0 tools can be combined
into a rich and stimulating online learning environment.

*         Discover how physical spaces can stimulate and empower
effective blends/hybrids of online and face-to-face learning.

*         Recognize the importance and usefulness of a college or
university's vision and strategic plan in any campus or building
planning project.

*         Learn by example how institutions formulate and advance
priorities.

*         Identify ways to determine the needs of physical learning
spaces based on learning needs.

*         Discuss four principles for managing the change of the
physical learning environment.
