SOF2008 Online Symposium: Shaping Our Future: Toward a Pan-Canadian E-learning Research Agenda

Site event
Shaping Our Future: Toward a Pan-Canadian E-learning Research Agenda

Canada is one of the only countries in the developed world without a national strategic plan to research, develop and harness new technologies for teaching and learning. E-learning, in combination with other forms of delivery, affords potential to increase not only accessibility, but effectiveness and enjoyment of both formal and lifelong learning for Canadians of all ages. This 3 week online conference is designed to inform, inspire and lead to actions that insure that Canadians maximize the opportunities presented by new technologies and associated pedagogies.

Title: Practicing What We Preach - Research Into E-Learning Tools for Faculty Learning and Knowledge Mobilization

Presenter: Tom Carey

Description:
The premise of this session is that we can demonstrate the value of e-learning resources and processes to our colleagues by developing cost-effective ways for them to learn innovative teaching methods through the use of open educational resources, collaborative inquiry and shared knowledge spaces. We will illustrate this with examples of multimedia resources for faculty development in new teaching methods, online faculty collaborations in communities of inquiry around shared course design issues, and integrated online resource spaces to mobilize knowledge about exemplary teaching practices.
