There are so many things I’m curious about, but the one that comes to mind immediately is the use of specialized websites…

I’ve used Moodle and Chalk/Blackboard to some good ends and find them very helpful, although I never feel that I’m in any way deploying them optimally. I’d like to learn more about using an alternative class-specific website for links, resources, forums, maybe collaboration on papers – but especially to disseminate materials in a dynamic/interesting way that encourages students to engage the materials and course focus more creatively and independently.

I also would like to explore establishing and maintaining my own website in a way that would dovetail with teaching – maybe to help students see how my general (or particular) interests relate to a specific course that we share.
