Moving from Online Teaching to Connected Learning: Strategies for Enhancing Communication and Building Community In and Outside the LMS

Presented By:

Joyce Valenza, PhD, Assistant Professor at Rutgers University
Brenda Boyer, PhD, Instructional Designer at Rutgers University

Moderated By:

Zachary Newell, PhD Student at Simmons University SLIS


Presentation Description:

Let’s explore opportunities to play with blended experiences that push the boundaries of the LMS while encouraging voice and choice. We’ll explore an emerging toolkit of authentic, flexible applications to facilitate natural collaboration, communication and creativity.
Joyce and Brenda will introduce:

  • Discussion tools that not only flatten conversations and make them pop, but engage a larger community of practice, rather than obscuring voices in threaded hierarchies.
  • Curation tools that offer your learners opportunities to customize and organize content and ideas in ways that help them make meaning and authentically participate.
  • Storytelling and presentation options that authentically engage targeted communities.
  • Gamification options that engage learners and model strategies they might use in their own future practice.
