Project Outcomes

Pilot use of Prezi in student presentations partnered with community based organizations to provide experiential learning around promotion and engagement of target audiences.

Students responded well to the service learning assignments and guidance. Exercises, timeline and prezi debrief is available here.

A pilot course to study effectiveness of collaborative international online learning later combined with a ten-day business study tour in Turkey. Before and after the trip, students engaged in learning activities via an online learning platform.

Our 2013 Synergy & Systemness Project was more successful than we had anticipated. Although the construction of the online course presented challenges, we were ultimately able to develop a highly interactive course. As planned, students were able to work online, synchronously and asynchronously, across campuses and across the world. In addition, workgroups used wiki technology to develop final projects that drew upon learning that took place in Turkey during our field study.

Project Outcome Report

A pilot project to provide the opportunity for all SUNY students to participate in a virtual term abroad. Researchers will analyze and try to resolve technical issues related to international collaboration and will compare a variety of tools for learner engagement and promoting cross cultural and/or international interaction.

Project outcomes provide robust resources for the ROI of virtual study abroad, as well as feedback on technology requirements and support processes.

Project Outcome Report

Creation of four module-based blended training units which will be designed to introduce ESC faculty and staff to several types of Web 2.0 technology tools (social media, document sharing, etc.).

Interactive modules on how to use Google, blogging tools, and creation of multimedia files are available on the Empire State "Tools of Engagement" site.

A three session workshop: the political climate around language teaching, current theories on language acquisition and pedagogy and an entire afternoon session devoted to technological innovations and applications for language instruction.
