An overview of an online course developed by faculty from universities in Canada and Norway. Course development began with a question: “What would happen if students explored innovative mental health promotion from the standpoint of an increasingly globalized and networked world? “

 

 

This presentation summarizes work published in CY-ICER 2012 Proceedings through Procedia-Social and Behavioral Journal.

Hotseat was developed at Purdue University.

 

Hotseat, a social networking-powered mobile Web application, creates a collaborative classroom, allowing students to provide near real-time feedback during class and enabling professors to adjust the course content and improve the learning experience. Students can post messages to Hotseat using their Facebook or Twitter accounts, sending text messages, or logging in to the Hotseat Web site.
