John Dolan, College of the Liberal Arts Director of Digital Media and Pedagogy, and Geoff Halberstadt, Liberal Arts Undergraduate Council President join Dean Long for episode 26 of Liberal Arts Voices.
In this episode, the group discusses their recent presentation at the 2011 Teaching and Learning with Technology Symposium. Dean Long, John, Geoff, and Jillian collaborated on a panel session titled “Engagement and Community in the College of the Liberal Arts” at this year’s TLT Symposium.
In this podcast, the group discusses many of the themes incorporated in their presentation. Specifically, they talk about the ways in which the Liberal Arts Undergraduate Studies office is attempting to use social media to cultivate a community of education. They speak about how their technology initiatives are rooted in the educational mission of the University and the College. They discuss the strategies and tactics they are using with digital and social media in hopes of empowering students, faculty and staff to give voice to their educational experiences. Geoff also spends some time discussing how social media has impacted the dynamics of the Liberal Arts Undergraduate Council.
