By adopting the collaborative pedagogical process in this book, professors can create effective social learning experiences that connect students to peers and professional colleagues in real time.Loewen moves beyond surface questions about technology in the classroom to a problem best addressed by educators in bricks-and-mortar institutions: if students are social learners, how do we teach in a way that promotes actual dialogue for learning? Designing learning experiences that develop intercultural competencies puts the test to students’ social inclinations, and engagement with course material increases when it’s used to dig deeper into the specificities of their identity and social location. Loewen’s approach to interinstitutional collaborative teaching will be explored with examples and working templates for collaborative design of effective social learning experiences. This is done by collaborative dialogue with G. Brooke Lester and Christopher Duncanson-Hales. As a group, Loewen, Lester, and Duncanson-Hales create a text that extends pedagogical innovation in inspiring but practical ways.Order today at augsburgfortress.org and Amazon.com.Go here for news about the Logos ePub versions.Related Blog Posts by Nathan Loewen: Effective Social Learning for a Post-MOOC Era Posted on Jan 28th, 2015 - By Nathan Loewen I would much rather speak with you in-person; and I don’t think that posting Youtube link is a worthwhile alternative.
