OVERVIEW:
Computers are ubiquitous. Whether we are in our cars, our planes, our houses, our hospitals, or our classrooms, computers are now part of the infrastructure of everyday life. In his classes, Dr. Ethan Watrall embraces an open access model comprised of WordPress, Twitter, Mediawiki and more.
The combination of these tools creates a communicative, connected and flexible course experience for students outside of the ANGEL system. Join us as Dr. Watrall discusses how the platforms selected not only provide a medium for completion of assigments, but also immerse students in the increasingly digital, Web 2.0 world in which we live.
