AMICAL-AUC workshop on collaborative learning technologies
This workshop will be an opportunity to learn about and exchange best practices and innovative ideas for the use of videoconferencing and other collaborative learning technologies, in a participative group environment with colleagues from similar institutions. The workshop will cover a variety of issues related to using technology — videoconferencing, learning management systems, web-based collaboration tools, blogs and social publishing platforms, voice discussion threads, and other technologies — for virtual/online classroom collaboration. The focus will be on technologies supporting virtual collaboration between classes at different AMICAL institutions, but much of this could also be relevant to purely local hybrid (blended learning) classes that include a significant online component or that bring in external speakers/participants virtually.
