This website is the main hub for keeping up to date and connecting during our EDCI 337 course.

The technology tools used in this course may be a little different than those you might be used to. We use a distributed course approach, allowing you to control and own most of the learning, networking, and reflection environments. One advantage of this approach is that you will be able to take all of your resources, contacts, and networks formed throughout the course with you! Below find links to your primary course tools.
