Designing Socially Dynamic Digital Learning

Designing Socially Dynamic Digital Learning is a practical guide to the creation of online and blended coursework and learning environments that foster social interaction and engagement among students. Regardless of format, enrollees in higher education need active, collaborative, and social experiences to thrive, though new guidance is needed to help faculty and administrators integrate digital tools and develop courses toward this goal. This book introduces state-of-the-art learning technologies and evidence-based pedagogical strategies that can be seamlessly adopted and adapted across disciplines. Instructors, learning designers, consultants, and educational technology trainers, developers, and directors will find a wealth of fresh insights and best practices as they select, apply, and incentivize digital technologies for social-forward yet outcomes-driven learning experiences.
