Presentation<\/strong>
\nLearning & Leading with Social Media<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the massive success of Wikipedia to the virtual volunteer efforts in crises around the world, “crowdsourcing” and online collaboration have proven to be an effective means of working together.\u00a0 A wide variety of free tools are available to be leveraged to empower your students and even strangers around the world to collaborate with you to do research and solve real problems.\u00a0 In this seminar we will look at ways to use these tools, not just in a technical sense, but also in the “inspiring” sense of how to inspire effective cooperation to reach your goals.<\/p>\n
