As part of my interest in creating a space where students and I can explore a blended learning environment in which technology and the creation of knowledge converge, I have designed a final creative project for students to complete. The aim of the project is to afford students the opportunity to explore either a topic addressed in the course or unexplored but related one and to prepare a presentation using one of the diverse digital tools introduced in my courses. The range of possible topics is endless; here I have uploaded former students’ projects from recent courses for the viewer to take a closer look at some of the topics students have delved into.
