eLearning Initiative

eLearning Initiative

Broadcast modalities of pedagogy do not necessarily resonate as strongly with learners who have been born into a networked, connected society that privileges interactivity as a learning strategy and that acknowledges new media literacies as indigenous modes of expression.

A large segment of Brock University's growing student population can undoubtedly be identified as digital sophisticates, for whom self-expression, communication, and socializing in a wired, connected environment is unexceptional. It follows that they come to post-secondary education with the assumption that they will be able to frame their experiences, educational and otherwise, in digital contexts and through new media literacies that reflect the reality of their world.

The Brock University E-Learning Initiative is an investment in pedagogical innovation that will enhance the academic experience of our students, afford them the flexibility of any time/any place learning and offer faculty members the opportunity to explore new approaches to learning and teaching.

Call for proposals

A call for Phase II of the E-Learning Initiative has been made. The Office of the Provost and Vice-President Academic is targeting a larger number of courses for this second phase. The deadline for submissions is May 25, 2012.
