Communication and Collaboration in the Virtual Classroom

Never before in history has technology played such an important role in education. At a time when students are acquiring and mastering the skills that they will need to become productive members of society, the classrooms and learning communities in which they engage are becoming more and more infused with technology. The ability for students to communicate and collaborate in remote and digital learning environments has become essential in order for them to thrive in our ever-changing world. Participants in this course will investigate and evaluate various tools and strategies that assist learners with communication and collaboration in a digital classroom. Participants, where possible, will employ these strategies with students and share the results with each other in interactive online discussion communities.
