No matter the course, there's a role for new media in enriching teaching and learning experiences.

Attendees can earn a certificate and learn more about new media approaches to teaching that blend audio, video, web and other multimedia into assignments and activities, increasing student engagement and improving learning outcomes.

Throughout this series, we'll explore different approaches, including digital writing such as discussion forums, blogs and wikis; audio/video communication including multimedia projects, video essays, audio commenting and web-conferencing; mobile learning such as apps for smartphones and tablets; and electronic portfolios and assessment.

The session is limited to 12 participants. Lunch will be provided. To reserve your spot, register today. Click here to register.

To qualify for a certificate, participants are required to: a) attend one practicum workshop in July, August, December or January; b) attend four seminar series-designated workshops during the academic year; and 3) submit a final project such as a newsletter article, faculty guide, etc.
