Center for Teaching and Learning explores online methods for teachers - Jess James, Bowling Green News
Anthony Fontana is a CTL community member who is also the co-facilitator of the pedagogy and scholarship in the Second Life program. The University's Second Life program is an online learning center where students can interact with their instructors as a digital avatar in a virtual world. "Second Life is a multi-user virtual environment," Fontana said. "It's sort of like the Sims, except it is an online world where educators can create classrooms and share information. It's like Facebook in 3-D." Paul Cesarini is chair of the VCT department and the leader of another learning community program, Active Learning and the Transition to Digital. His expertise in the field of active learning will lead a topic session titled "The joy of teaching large lecture hall classes."
