Kathryn & Ferdinand will be presenting on "The GCU Experience." We'll be talking generally about GCU's SL initiative - CU There - and discussing some of the pilot teaching projects that are currently taking place within GCU. We'll report on some of the different pedagogies the projects use, and look at the emerging results and issues from the projects where we have already had students in-world. We'll also touch upon staff development and student induction. And then we'll take a peek at a potential future for 3D technologies...
