The Student Generated Content model is based on the incorporation of instructional technology on both sides of the learning process with the goal of increasing student engagement. Let your students help you develop online learning support tools posted to iTunes University. The side effect of this approach is the creation of a wealth of rich media content that can be used in the classroom, online, and as outward-bound marketing for your class and the campus. Come see what pilot programs at other Southern California Community Colleges are producing and how you can get started today.
