The next academic school year is right around the corner and it's time for faculty to start preparing their course activities. Members of the EmTech team are happy to arrange a webinar to introduce the State University of New York (SUNY) Exploring Emerging Technologies for Lifelong Learning and Success ( ). http://suny.edu/emtech

EmTech encourages instructors to build lifelong learning strategies to keep pace with technology change. A MOOC and complementary WIKI encourage instructors to explore free technology resources that align with their specific objectives. A culminating activity encourages the creation of an ePortfolio to showcase accomplishments and reflect on their learning. This professional development opportunity is great as a self-paced option and in a cohort model. Please message me if anyone would like to discuss possible options.

The entire MOOC can be completed for free. SUNY and many additional campuses, governments, and other organizations have also arranged Coursera partnerships that allow participants to also earn a Coursera certificate and SUNY digital badges at no cost. The WIKI collection of tools and resources is also available as a stand-alone resource.

Here’s a short (4-min.) video overview. https://emtechwiki.webapps.buffalo.edu/emtech-intro-video
