Session Description
One of the challenges educators face while shaping our next normal is figuring out how to offer consistent and engaging learning experiences to all students while at the same time providing opportunities for personalization and active learning. HyperDocs, digital teaching/learning packages in which you bundle the resources & activities for one topic or learning arc, can help you meet these goals.
During this introductory session, you’ll discover what HyperDocs are, how they fit the open pedagogy/OER paradigm, and why they can work well in the evolving higher ed. ecosystem. The I(heart)HyperDocs workshop continues with Part 2 (mostly hands-on) on May 27 @2:00 PT.
