The next session of Teaching with Technology Tuesdays will focus on virutal classrooms and synchronous learning environments. Virtual classrooms provide students with a real-time interactive and collaborative environment and offer opportunities for immediate feedback, clarification, and collaboration. Sessions may even be recorded for future review. Unlike pre-recorded, web-based video content that delivers a consistent experience without the opportunity for questions, reactions, or student performance assessment, virtual classrooms and synchronous learning environments privilege interactivity and student engagement.

Charles Greenberg and Matt Wilcox will discuss their experiences with teaching or supporting teaching with the Elluminate and Adobe Connect Professional distance learning platforms. Charles is the Coordinator of Curriculum and Research Support at the Yale Medical Library, as well as a Lecturer at the San Jose State School of Library and Information Science, and Matt is the Librarian and Director of Academic Technology at the Yale School of Public Health.
