Using the tools available on the web and a dose of creativity faculty can design innovative and engaging learning opportunities for their students.<\/p>\n<p>Grounded in a constructivist pedagogy this discussion will share the process of moving beyond discussion board, papers and quizzes to make an online course become and active and engaging learning activity.\u00a0 Examples of virtual field trips, scavenger hunts, conversations with\u2026 and other learning activities that facilitates student learning from real world places, people and artifacts will be shared.\u00a0 Having students explore beyond the walls of the classroom brings a real-world perspective to concepts discussed in course textbooks as well as provide a national and global perspective to the material being studied. In addition, learners often find tools and resources that are useful in their academic studies as well as in their current or future professional practice.<\/p>\n<p>This is an informal discussion that provides faculty members from across UB with an opportunity to share ideas and to learn from one another.
