Опубликовано 6 сентября 2016, 21:26

MIT iCampusΓÇöbased at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), supported by Microsoft Corporation, conducted in collaboration with Microsoft ResearchΓÇöis a program that supports faculty and student initiatives in educational technology. The iCampus program sponsors innovation, helps to incubate innovative technologies through classroom use and it promotes their adoption, evaluation, and continued evolution within MIT and through worldwide multi-institution collaboration. The central theme behind all MIT iCampus projects is the support and encouragement of ΓÇ£active learningΓÇ¥ in a constructivist approach to education. Over the past six years, iCampus has provided creative approaches to fostering active learning and leveraging technology in a variety of disciplines. An initial set of these research projects has been selected and freely distributed through iCampus. Successful dissemination of technology in education requires more than just making it easily available. The MIT iCampus Affiliates Program seeks to share tools, build community, and evaluate the impact of this work. Come learn about the projects, the program, and ways you can participate.
