Strategic Initiative 6: Transform Online Education
IUPUI will significantly increase its efforts to promote access and opportunities for learners through technology-enhanced tools and practices.
Out-of-the-Box for Learning Task Force
Discussions of this task force can result in initiatives that will greatly benefit IUPUI students and add distinction to their educational experiences. While Indiana University and our campus work to expand online programs and courses, there are other innovative learning experiences that could be developed and delivered via technology for all students, outside the context of a course, and across our curricula. Experiences such as modules, tutorials, games, and immersive environments could be vital supplements to coursework, giving our students an edge and enhancing their learning.
The Task Force is facilitated by Steve Mannheimer, whose structured brainstorming activities are especially effective in generating a very large set of ideas. The goal for this group is to generate much “out-of-the-box” thinking as well as ideas for new technology-enabled learning experiences we can make available to our students.
