Academic Computing is pleased to announce our next “Emerging Technologies and Pie” event of the semester:
Using Wikis with Students
Monday, November 16, 2009
1:25 PM – 2:15 PM
Professors Millicent Thayer from Sociology and Kenneth Kitchel from Classics will join us to discuss their experience using wikis with their students. A “wiki” is a special type of web site that allows users to quickly edit and modify the content. Wikipedia, a collaboratively constructed encyclopedia, is probably the most well known example of a wiki. Wikis are being used in higher education for collaborations between students, instructors, and colleagues.

About Emerging Technology and Pie
“Emerging Technology and Pie” is an interest group for faculty and instructors who would like to learn about the latest technologies for learning and teaching. These sessions are intended as quick overviews with discussions about the application of these tools. Faculty have priority for these sessions when seats are limited. And yes, we really do serve pie.
Note: If you are interested in hands-on training in these tools, we are happy to provide it through the Instructional Media Lab (instruct@oit.umass.edu or 545-2823).
