Content Catastrophe: The Gap Between Textbooks and Global Real-Time Knowledge Acquisition
Thursday, October 12, 2006 | 9:10AM–10:00AM | Ballroom C-Three
Session Type:
Professional Development
Teaching from a textbook is based on the premises that course materials are static and learning experiences can be standardized. In learner-centered environments in an ever-changing world, content needs to be dynamically controlled by instructors and students. The presenters will use case studies to demonstrate how this has been accomplished in courses on globalization, contemporary media, and international security.
