Finding the RIGHT Digital Tool
Session Overview
This video was part of the July 2021 REMOTE: The Connected Faculty Summit
Choosing digital tools to support student learning can be a tortuous process with so many things to consider. Every step of the way there are questions about quality, support for student learning, technology compatibility, and more with different priorities for different institutions. This panel of advisory board members shares their experiences conducting product reviews as part of developing a resource to help navigate these complex questions. Through use of a rubric they helped design, product reviews reflect evaluation of equity, efficacy, functionality and more. The Coursegateway.org site recently launched and is supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation along with Tyton Partners.
