Digital & Analog Tools for Collaborative Learning

New Mixed Modalities Teaching Series: The Teaching Lab

Many virtual tools exist to help students interact and collaborate in their learning, and many instructors already use various tools to help students work together outside of class. How might we bring some of these tools into our classrooms to facilitate collaborative learning during class?  How might such tools create opportunities for more direct connection between what students do inside and outside of the class?  We'll practice using Persuall to facilitate group annotations and commentary on texts and Office Whiteboard for brainstorming and concept mapping.

Join TEP, UO Online, and Information Services for a new, experimental Teaching Lab series — a hands-on opportunity to experiment with technology tools that may enhance student engagement in the face-to-face classroom. Together we'll explore the promise and challenge of particular technologies in the classroom as we practice with tools, platforms, and strategies together.
