For many of us, our frame of reference
for learning has been largely influenced by the traditional classroom.

However, technology and research is changing how we learn.
Instruction is now delivered in hybrid and online formats.
In the traditional classroom, students connect with their instructors
one on one and face to face in class, during office hours,
or by appointment at set times and days. In flipped and online
designs, students can easily communicate with instructors in class,
during office hours by appointment, or online using a variety of tools
including social media. Students are always connected.
In the traditional classroom, students
choices about how to connect with one another are often more limited and designed
by the instructor, such as, attending class lectures, participating
in class discussion, working on occasional assignments with teams, or
by organizing study groups. In flipped and online
design, students have a great deal of choice in how they connect with one another
using a variety of tools. They can meet anywhere, anytime online
or face to face. Social media extends beyond the limits of
the classroom. You may wonder, how can
we facilitate and measure student engagement in flipped and online
learning environments? You may be
interested in how social network analysis helps us to understand more about
student engagement. Come and join us to find out the relationship between SNA
and social media in a flipped course. To learn more, join us Saturday,
March 22nd at 2:15 in Room 208. Brought to you by
the SMEAL College of Business.
