Introduction

As you move into the online teaching environment, you’ll discover that there are a wide variety of tools that can enhance the learning activities you create for your course. Some of the newer and more innovative tools, which are reviewed in this week’s content, are referred to as emerging technologies. As you review these tools, please remember to focus on the pedagogical needs and objectives of your course and consider how these tools might meet them.

Emerging technologies help students to engage in higher-level thinking skills, such as creating, evaluating, and analyzing, which in turn create engaging activities. Also, these tools help students collaborate, communicate, organize information, and build an online community together.

As you prepare your online course, you may find that the activities in the face-to-face setting are tricky or difficult to convert into your online course. The tools provided in this week’s content are designed to help you resolve those concerns.
