In this hands-on workshop, Cole Camplese will lead participants through a conversation about using emerging technologies for course redesign. He will focus in particular on using lightweight, easily accessible tools like Twitter, grassroots video, and blogging in small doses to impact problems of practice. Examples from the PSU and UMW will be shown to focus discussion. In addition, staff from DTLT will be available to talk with participants one-on-one and in small groups about approaches to redesigning their own courses.

During this talk we will investigate key trends impacting educators in their overall design of learning. Focusing on the emergence of user-created content, social spaces, and mobile devices we will take an integrated look at how we can better utilize technology within these areas to meet the needs of our students. We will also explore how these technologies have, and continue to, impact both faculty and learners and review some active examples within each area. During this talk, we will focus attention on how educators can leverage selected disruptive technologies to shape learning outcomes in new ways.
