Join us for the fifth presentation in our series. During this session, faculty and graduate student instructors from the Department of English will discuss their experience using and teaching with wikis - online interfaces based on open-source software that allow users to collaboratively compose and edit content. Topics covered include the conceptual and practical dimensions of wikis as a pedagogical technology, as well as the English Department’s participation in Wikidelic, a project networking wiki-enhanced courses in research universities nationwide.
If you’re interested in learning about this exciting new teaching technology, join us and spend some time exploring the various ways you might begin creatively integrating wikis into your own teaching. Light refreshments will be served for all who attend.
