Course Description
This course, offered in a hybrid format, is designed to help participants explore and use academic technology to enhance teaching and learning. Through experiential means, participants will be exposed to a wide variety of academic technologies and the teaching and learning techniques/methodologies used in the implementation of these technologies.
Participants will complete an individualized, technology enhanced learning project based on an area of interest to them, and will have the opportunity, should they wish, to try out these projects in the classroom, online, with colleagues, or in a teaching and learning work situation (e.g., a workshop). As such, this course is designed to be practical. Further, active participation will be encouraged throughout by way of regular discussions (in-class and online) and knowledge sharing/feedback opportunities.

Course Format and Approach
This course uses a hybrid learning strategy. Participants will meet in class half the time and online half the time. During the Spring session, this course will also be taught in compressed mode (i.e., one face-to-face and one online class each week for 6 weeks). The content of the course will comprise a mix of readings, multimedia learning objects, web explorations, discussions, and participant generated content (to be shared with each other). Much of the learning will come by way of peer to peer knowledge sharing (experiences of practice), through in-class and online discussions, and through the completion of course tasks. As such, regular, active participation in online and in-class activities is expected.
