Much of the richness of technology enhanced education comes from the ability to (co)construct rich networks of learning resources and software which contribute to learning. Educators can effectively use technology from many industries and “hack” it to suit educational purposes in exciting and innovative ways. However, students may experience fatigue and overwhelm in the face of too many new and changing tech tools. In this interactive session, participants will be invited to discuss the barriers and opportunities of integrating a variety of software and tools into the online learning experience.
We will discuss ways to make such integration smoother and more learner friendly. We will explore a variety of tools that can be used to facilitate many parts of the online education experience including: student communication, project management, interactively gathering student input both asynchronously and in the moment, sharing resources, and facilitating student assignments. Please come prepared to share suggestions of your favourite tools and strategies for integrating varied software effectively.
