DESCRIPTION

Make your course content more accessible and increase student engagement by leveraging mobile devices and social media tools to communicate lessons, readings, assignments and feedback to students in and out of the traditional classroom.

Conclusion

Access your course content for one week on mobile to see what pain points exist in your accessing your online content.

It’s OK to make mistakes, this is not brain surgery

(Unless you are actually doing brain surgery)

Students will forgive mistakes, when trying to implement something new.

(You will get lots of feedback how to make it better)

(Unless you’ve performed brain surgery on said students)
