The world of education and information transfer is growing at a phenomenal rate. Additionally, our students are also changing how, when and where they learn.

In order to transfer some of these educational concepts to our faculty and their staff, we are providing a starting point for definitions, descriptions, examples, etc. on such concepts as:

• Blended Learning - a merge of old teaching techniques and new ones
• Courseware - course elements to entire courses taught online
  • Check out the Scriptorium Learning Material page for lots of examples
• Digital and Media Literacy
  • Recommendations of Knight Commission
    
• Social Media
• Social Networking
  • Information from Cornell University on Facebook
  • A Wider World (from EDUCAUSE)
• Virtual Worlds
  • Second Life

Faculty, staff and students interested in these concepts may also want to attend some of the LTWG meetings which are held on campus once a month (approximately 1 hour long).
