This free open online course is the product of the collaborative work of Dr. Torrey Trust and graduate students from the University of Massachusetts Amherst College of Education. We have designed this course with the intention of extending this collaborative, community-based philosophy to our participants. As a member of the Designing Digital Media for Teaching and Learning community, you can expect to meet and interact with educators around the world, receive detailed feedback from our team of facilitators, and create a digital media project to enhance student learning.
