Community Dialog, Experiential Learning, and the Scholarship of Engagement: A Roundtable on Technology in Urban and Metropolitan Universities Moderated by Darren Cambridge

Abstract

Technology can support the interface between urban and metropolitan universities and the cities and regions of which they are a part. Through partnerships and the Web as a medium for communication and collaboration, technology can support community dialog around institutional goals. Through identifying opportunities and facilitating reflection in community, technology can support experiential learning. By opening up and connecting both global and local occasions for application, technology can support the scholarship of engagement. This article assembles a panel of four experts to discuss these connections.
