I’d be happy to offer to lead a session on how to teach history of technology (or other topics) using WordPress as a learning platform. I have gotten increasingly frustrated with my university’s LMS Cambro (based on Sakai), and decided to build my own WordPress setup for both teaching online classes and – most importantly – for providing an arena for students to write and discuss. I know many other people do the same, and I would love to both share what I have learnt and also to learn from others. I could start the session by simply demonstrating my current WordPress course setup and providing some information about how others could build something similar. The goal is to not be overly technical, but to instead focus on the pedagogical possibilities and limitations.
