Speakers:
Dr. Spencer Benson (Fulbright Scholar, The University of Hong Kong)
Dr. Stephen Friedman (Fulbright Scholar, The Chinese University of Hong Kong)
Digital technologies, such as the Internet, have helped to reshape how we teach, deliver courses, and how students learn. This seminar will introduce some of the e-learning tools that can be used to deliver courses online and how e-learning can be blended with traditional instruction to improve teaching and learning. The seminar aims to help faculty to:
- identify current e-learning tools, their uses and limitations;
- recognize which e-learning tools might be useful in teaching their own courses;
- develop a plan for integrating technology into their own courses.
