Workshop Description
Teaching and learning has vastly changed due to emerging technologies. Personalization, collaborative learning, and social software have produced and introduced perhaps a new paradigm. Can instructional designers keep up? How? We'll explore what has been done to improve pedagogy using these new tools. Other considerations include: open educational resources, collaborative efforts, design paradigms, and affordable, sustainable delivery models.
Schedule
January 30th– February 1st Activities: Learn Moodle, the workshop’s learning management system, and Elluminate Live!, the workshop’s web conferencing platform. Watch recorded presentations and begin reviewing guest courses.
February 4th– February 8th Activities: Continue reviewing presentations and ancillary materials; participate in discussion forum with workshop facilitator Judith Effken.
A Live Web Conferencing Session is conducted on Friday, February 8th at 2PM(ET) (Online using Elluminate Live!): facilitated by Judith Effken. We will begin the session with an open round of comments from the facilitators and then open the forum up for Q&A and/or presentations/show-and-tell from workshop participants. We will finish with summary thoughts from the facilitators. THE SESSIONS WILL BE RECORDED FOR LATERVIEWING AT YOUR CONVENIENCE.
Technology Information
Sloan-C brings you the following technologies to provide an exciting experience during the workshop:
 Elluminate™ Live! ™ -- Elluminate’s powerful Live! software will take this workshop to a whole new level of interaction. Well suited for the classroom environment, Live! provides the flexibility our workshop needs, from a speaker delivering to hundreds of workshop participants, to multiple small discussion groups occurring in unison. Live! effectively delivers lecture-type speeches, while also having the ability to facilitate collaboration among many individuals. For more information about Elluminate™, please visit the Elluminate page in the Sloan-C Vendor Corner.
 Moodle -- Sloan-C will use an open-source learning management system called Moodle to administer the asynchronous component of the workshop. Sloan-C has found Moodle to provide a flexible and user-friendly set of asynchronous collaboration and learning tools. As with most open-source technologies, the Moodle software is free, making it a very cost-effective software package for any institution or company. We have found though that low-cost does not mean that you have to sacrifice quality. Moodle still provides a robust environment that is dynamic, interactive, and provides cross-platform learner access through a standard web browser.
