Advising 2.0: Engaging Students with Collaborative Online Tools
To increase student success, it is critical that professionals in higher education are aware of the technological changes and needs of the new student learners who “continue to push learning and research to be more self directed, focused on group knowledge, open to interdisciplinary work, and focused on producing content” (Rainie 2006). This presentation will demonstrate Advising 2.0 through the use of different web tools. The presenter will review an advising 2.0 model that is currently being used by showing the specific tools (blogs, podcasts, wikis, social bookmarks and photography applications.) Details of the experience gained in development and working with these social learning tools will be outlined.
Objective: To demonstrate the use of web 2.0 tools in an advising environment & give an example of methods/materials in practice at the University of Toronto Scarborough campus.
At the end of this presentation, you will be able to:
- understand technology & social learning
- be oriented to a few Web 2.0 tools
- utilize online learning tools
- identify successful online academic advising strategies
- cultivate collaborative communities
Presentation: Example of pilot project from the University of Toronto Scarborough to engage new students post summer orientation prior to school starting.
