* What is a rainmaker?
Description:

Our learning community is convinced that resources do exist to support collaboration, interaction, and the development of inclusive and welcoming online learning opportunities. These resources should reproduce the rich, multi-sensory experience of classroom learning while utilizing technology to take this experience even further. The primary goal of our learning community is to create online modules that can be used to meet broad, non-discipline-specific, pedagogical goals such as those outlined in the Miami Plan for Liberal Education (critical thinking, understanding contexts, engaging with other learners, and reflecting and acting), but could also be adapted for more discipline-specific goals. To accomplish this, resources would ideally integrate a variety of components including audio, video, text, presentation and application sharing. For example, we might meet our goal of helping students engage with other learners by providing a real-time online environment for a peer review process. Our learning community proposes to find, evaluate, adopt, critique and disseminate these technologies.
