Presented By: Bryan Alexander, Senior Fellow at the National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education (NITLE)

How has teaching changed after two generations of digital revolutions?  We explore the state of the art, examining classroom uses and trends, looking for practical and accessible strategies.  We conclude with a survey of emerging trends.

He researches, writes, and speaks about emerging trends in the integration of inquiry, pedagogy, and technology and their potential application to liberal arts contexts.
