Session Details

Speaker(s)

Abstract

MIT iCampus supports transformative projects whose scopes transcend an individual course and whose impacts extend beyond an individual campus. We are pursuing three broad areas: (1) the Internet as enabler for shared educational resources, (2) active learning alternatives to traditional lectures, and (3) instructional applications of emerging technologies (pen interfaces, sensors, and biological computing).
