INTRODUCTION:
The Emory Center for Digital Scholarship (ECDS) provides expertise and support for all digital aspects of pedagogy and research. As our society includes more technology into all aspects of daily life, including into the process of teaching and learning, understanding how to leverage web-based applications and mobile technologies to promote active learning and engage students is a valuable skill. The aim of the ECDS FIRST Seminar is to empower instructors with this skill.
