On the last day of the conference, we learned about such fun things as
1. how to turn a swimming pool into an active learning classroom that is rather large. For more information on this, see this video:
notice the massive video wall!
2. how to turn work towards turning lectures that are captured in their complete length into chunks that can be used as reminders, in online settings, or by other faculty as part of a repository. A starting point is My Dante: https://blogs.commons.georgetown.edu/mydante/
3. how to engage people to build resources outside of the classroom that can be used by others outside the classroom to explore particular features of the environment.: http://tourguide.cal.msu.edu/
4. and all of this was nicely rounded off by bits of doom and gloom portraying the future of higher education in this country -- one of the key points is that core courses at established institutions will shrink in size and numbers because there are so many other places that will offer this content cheaper or for free.
