Interested to learn new ways to communicate, collaborate, and connect? Join us to learn about SUNY’s #EmTechMOOC

Session Description

In these unprecedented times, many of us are finding creative ways to communicate and collaborate. From preschoolers participating in circle time to seniors enjoying time with family and friends through video-calls, social distancing is now the norm. Disruptions in our work lives and in our personal lives are causing us to think outside the box. Online communication has been around for decades. Now, the methods that are a staple in the business world and in online instruction are quickly being adapted to bring us closer together.

We will explore the State University of New York’s “Exploring Emerging Technologies for Lifelong Learning and Success” (#EmTechMOOC). This Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) targeted toward a diverse group of learners, including college students, faculty, and anyone from across the globe with an interest to learn how to use freely-available established and emerging technologies to succeed in today’s rapidly changing environment.

#EmTechMOOC is easily incorporated as part of faculty professional development programming, within specific courses as learning and supplemental activities, and as part of personal professional development for learners of all types.
