Creating a Dynamic Learning Environment Online by Leveraging Technology
Session Overview
This video was part of the July 2020 REMOTE: The Connected Faculty Summit
Teaching 100% online or even in a hybrid/blended environment doesn’t mean students have to receive a flat, less-than engaging experience compared to face-to-face instruction; however, faculty need to leverage technology to create a more dynamic learning environment. Professor Wade Hyde of Dallas College (formerly El Centro College of the DCCCD) teaches marketing, and he uses a wide variety of OER and free-for-use technologies to create an environment that outperforms even the most robust face-to-face instruction. Some of the platforms Hyde will demonstrate include Lumen Learning’s OER Waymaker personalized learning and messaging tools, Calendly online scheduling one-on-one conferences, and Portfolium to create experiential “real world” assessments.
