Are you tired of grading boring online discussion posts where students all respond to the material in the same way? Are your students craving meaningful lessons that are worthwhile and relevant? The keynote session will cover authentic learning activities to engage and challenge students online in a variety of disciplines. It will also provide practical uses of social media and other educational technologies that require students to demonstrate learning while reducing the grading burden.
