Electronic Pedagogy

The Electronic Pedagogy Resource site is currently under construction.  Please check back soon for information on innovative programs related to information technology in teaching.

  I will be adding a form for submitting additional programs to this site, but until then, please email me <bbrown1@tulane.edu> anything you would like added to the e-pedagogy resource.  Your contributions are greatly appreciated!

Cyberschool (VA Tech) from mission statement: “Cyberschool is an experiment to determine how best CMC (computer-mediated communication) technologies can be utilized at Virginia Tech in a range of courses in the College of Arts and Sciences. As a partnership between Arts and Sciences and the division of Information Systems, Cyberschool has an overarching mission: to redesign course offerings that take full advantage not only of what we are learning about instructional technologies, but also what we have discovered about the way students learn."  Includes Literature Initiative in Technology (LIT) Program and the Integrating Diverse Learning Environments (IDLE) Program.

The Knowledge Media Institute (KMi) is a purpose-built showcase lab housing some forty researchers, technologists and designers. KMi creates and studies near-term future technologies for the ultimate benefit of Open University students, staff, industrial sponsors, and a mixture of local and global learning communities."
