Free Webinar: Creating Media as Learning - The Charms and Challenges of Digital Media-Based Assessment

Please join us on March 2nd, 2009, at 12:00 noon CST for "Creating Media as Learning: The Charms and Challenges of Digital Media-Based Assessment" sponsored by the AIM Lab.

This free one-hour webinar being held in the AIM Lab (307A Ball Hall) will be presented by Louise Thorpe, Head of Academic Innovation for Sheffield Hallam University.

Description: Just as faculty seek to harness both established and emerging technologies to enhance learning, attention is turning to how technology and digital media can be integrated into the assessment experience of students. Easy-to-use devices and the growth in media sharing have shifted individuals’ perceptions of themselves from users to producers. Used effectively, digital media-based assignments can offer opportunities to engage students in assessment tasks that are authentic to the vocation or discipline, replicating practice and drawing on real-world resources and experiences.
