Workshops
A series of workshops is running in 2009 to enable universities throughout Australia to engage more fully in Educating the Net Generation.
These workshops are an excellent opportunity, in an interactive collegial setting, to find out about important issues for technology-facilitated learning and teaching, to share emerging good practices and lessons learned across a range of institutions and disciplines and to try out something new to you about using web 2.0 for academic purposes.
Undergraduate teaching staff, student learning skills advisors, curriculum and staff developers, university IT services professionals, academic planners and administrators and higher education researchers should attend these workshops.
These workshops are suitable for novices through to experts in working with educational technology and they may be customised to suit local needs. They are based on a three-hour program during which (preferably between 10 and 30) participants can work with:
- Recent quantitative and qualitative evidence regarding "digital natives" and "digital immigrants" among the students and staff of Australian universities
- Pedagogical, technical and other organisational experience derived from eight different projects at three universities where web 2.0 tools were used for student-created content in subject learning
- Publishing and communication features of a range of social software websites and tools and key questions that these raise for learning and teaching in higher education.
An online community has been set up to complement these workshops.
