This session will break into small groups so that everyone can describe their activities to a few colleagues. Groups will offer general feedback and suggestions, including what kinds of information most educators will need to know to try an activity in their own courses. Discussion will also include how each activity could be improved, tailored, and/or adapted for use in different learning environments. We will provide information on digital publishing options during the session.
