Stability and Change in the Master’s Classroom: The Use of Technology to Adapt to the Changing Master’s Education Environment

Session Submission Type: Panel Discussion

Abstract

Technologies are often used to provide stability in the Master’s classroom while adapting to the change in formats necessitated by a higher education environment highlighted by shrinking resources and diverse student populations. This panel will explore the use of classroom technology in response to the increasingly varied delivery formats of courses (i.e., face-to-face, online, hybrid, weekends, etc.). Resources such as YouTube, Lala, PodCasts, Skype, SecondLife, discussion boards, etc. will be discussed and best practices suggested.
