Online teaching technologies can enable instructors to connect their students with people and places around the country and the globe. In this discussion, Dorit Aviv of Architecture and Lori Rosenkopf of Management will reflect on how they have done that. Participants will consider ideas for bringing guest speakers into class, techniques for preparing those guests to engage the intellectual work of the course, ways to set up virtual tours of sites around the world, and strategies to ready students for this exploration.
