"Journal of a Course Through Technology

Leila Khauli Hanna, Suliman Olayan School of Business, AUB

 

The presentation will show how Marketing Communications (MKTG 225) evolved from being a static page of course information on the OSB server to a completely collaborative and interactive learning experience; from a webpage to a blogg to Moodle to facebook. The presentation will highlight how Moodle has allowed students to participate in the application of course content, and more importantly in the compilation of the local advertising campaigns into a digital book accessible for students and instructors whenever needed.

Alan Aycock, Learning Technology Center Director, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Blended pedagogy is used to solve pedagogical problems. To design a blended, both online and face-to-face work must be carefully integrated so that each informs and elaborates the other. Two examples of redesign are offered, one The Anthropology of Religion (25 students), the other International Law (60 students).
