Globalization (A Freshman Seminar): Using Technology to Enable Alumni and Outside Experts to Enrich a Class

Abstract

Faculty members can enrich their courses by combining student or alumni involvement with innovative uses of technology. This paper explains an approach used at Wake Forest University for implementing technology enhanced learning. The author sought the help of the Alumni Affairs office in recruiting alumni in different countries to participate electronically in the course using a web-based discussion forum. Guest experts were also "brought in" by using video and teleconferences.
