The 2012 CTLT Summer Institute noon hour sessions provide us an opportunity to network with presenters and colleagues and to further discuss the topics that are particularly relevant to you. Please bring your own lunch.
Over the last several years, UBC has built a web publishing framework to support personal publishing and course blogs among other learning and administrative web tools. UBC Blogs and Wiki, which count over 11,000 users and serve as a university-wide open course and knowledge-resource repository, provide a framework for delivering a rich educational experience. Participants at this noon-hour session will learn from other colleagues’ experiences and gain an understanding of the role that these tools can provide in enhancing active learning.
