Session Description:

Dr. Scott Bowman, Assistant Professor, Department of Criminal Justice
at Texas State University began the process of revising his Juvenile
Justice course two years ago by adding the Sakai Wiki to his course
site and by requiring students to do original research on the juvenile
justice system in particular communities in the U.S.

The result was a transformed course and increased student engagement
and excitement about course content. Bowman found students expended
more time and effort on their wiki pages than he expected and
delivered better quality work.

In the two years since Bowman won the Teaching With Sakai Innovation
Award for his Juvenile Justice course, he has learned more about what
works and what doesn't.  He will share his learning experiences in
this webinar.

Teaching with Sakai Webinar Series
The Teaching with Sakai webinar series highlights effective teaching
practices using Sakai.  Each webinar in the series begins with a
20-minute presentation followed by facilitated discussion.

We hope to see you online!
