The Academic Impressions website describes this webcast:
More institutions are using Web 2.0 tools to instruct students.
Because this method of delivering of curriculum is so new,
there's a lack of research about how these tools are impacting
learning and engagement. Can these tools be used to design and
support learning activities that increase the level of student
engagement and therefore lead to increased student success,
retention, and satisfaction?
Faculty, faculty developers, and instructional designers will develop effective and efficient strategies for utilizing Web 2.0 technologies to foster student engagement and success in blended learning.
