New Opportunities
- ITL Hybrid Workshops
ITL presents our new hybrid workshops!

We will continue to add topics as they are developed, but to get you started, we have five workshops currently available: First Day of Class, Preparation for the First Class, Managing the Wireless Environment, Enabling Learning for Non-Native English Speaking (NNES) Students and Preventing Cheating During Exams.

Faculty Learning Community: Maps, Mash-ups and Interactive Learning
The 2009 Horizon Report highlighted that "Geo-everything" is an emerging trend in technology over the next two years. This trend allows for new and exciting opportunities to utilize maps, geographic concepts and data in the classroom to enrich course content. Map mash-ups have multiple applications for anthropology, economics, environmental science, health, history, and other interdisciplinary concepts. Participants in this FLC will explore mash-ups, create customized mash-ups based on your course content, and explore ways to foster collaborative learning utilizing maps. Creating mash-ups are fun, collaborative, require minimal technology skills and are great ways to help students in your courses visualize course content.
This Faculty Learning Community will be facilitated by Michael Howser, Undergraduate Education/GIS Librarian at the University Libraries Map and Geographic Information Center. If you should have any questions feel free to contact Michael via email: michael.howser@uconn.edu or phone at (860) 486-4589.
