Online learning is no longer a peripheral activity but goes now to the heart of university teaching, as it becomes increasingly integrated with classroom learning. This raises questions such as how to decide what should be done online and what in class, what kind of student benefits most from online learning, and what kinds of learning outcomes should we be teaching for in a digital society. This presentation looks at the reasons for change, and suggests practical steps that faculty can take to ensure that students are best prepared for a digital world within their particular subject domain.
When: Wednesday, March 5, 2014 from 6 to 8 p.m. Where: Room EV-2.260, Engineering, Computer Science and Visual Arts Integrated Complex (1515 Ste. Catherine St. W.), Sir George Williams Campus.
