“Social Spring” – Embracing Social Learning Environments
The Breakfast Series is a free event for faculty and academic staff that is offered six times per year on the second Wednesday of the month:
Social learning environments equips learners with the tools necessary to collaborate and participate with instructors and peers both inside the classroom (in person and online) and beyond the walls of regular class time. Learners can exchange ideas both synchronously and asynchronously and it can extend the instructional day by allowing continued dialogue and learning.
This semester we will explore examples of social learning environments starting off with our very own Desire2Learn. At this session we will break off into learning circles to discuss checklists, establishing presence, discussion forums, communications and more. The next two sessions will highlight the pedagogy and tools behind two exceptional courses (Fairytales and Zombies! What a great combination) that created their own social learning sphere within the online classroom.
