Boyer Award in 2018 by the New American Colleges and Universities. *Sponsored by U.S. Consulate General Naha.
Short Description: Technology is changing higher education, but the greatest value of a physical university will remain its face-to-face (naked) interaction between faculty and students. Technology has fundamentally changed our relationship to knowledge and this increases the value of critical thinking, but we need to redesign our courses to deliver this value. The most important benefits to using technology occur outside of the classroom. New technology can increase student preparation and engagement between classes and create more time for the in-class dialogue that makes the campus experience worth the extra money it will always cost to deliver and spark the change of mental models we seek. Students already use online content, but you can design better ways for them to interact with material before every class.
Discussion Points:
- Using thecnology during and outside the classroom;
- Designing better ways for students to interact with materials before the class;
- Creating an engaging learning environment at universities.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME!
