    • Explore a Mobile Curriculum Tool from the Stanford d.school

      A project-based teaching model means that most of the learning students are doing happens outside of the classroom. How can instructors scaffold rich learning experiences that take advantage of the time that students spend in informal environments to push their learning further? The d.school at Stanford is constantly experimenting to provide immersive learning experiences, including some that leverage the way students use digital devices. Sign up for this 45 min session to explore one new tool that the d.school is experimenting with today. Limited to 50 registered conference participants.
