"At the Campus Technology 2012 conference taking place this week in Boston, Laurie Burruss, professor at Pasadena City College and education consultant for lynda.com, will offer up tips for faculty members looking to move their teaching "beyond the classroom walls." summarizes David Nagel.

The session will look at ways technology can be used to "create a blended learning environment supplemented by in-class and out-of-class resources," according to lynda.com. "Additionally, Burruss will discuss how the teacher and students can evaluate as a group which activities should occur in valuable face-to-face time in the classroom and which can take place outside the walls of the classroom anywhere and at any time."

The session, "Beyond the Classroom Walls: Reinventing Yourself, Your Class and Your Teaching Methods," will look at project management, textbook alternatives, collaborative tools, and other technologies educators can use to expand learning beyond the physical classroom. It will take place July 17 at 2:30 p.m. at the Seaport World Trade Center.

Lynda.com is exhibiting at the show in booth 742 throughout the week.
