This Brown Bag workshop (meaning you can bring your lunch to the workshop) will examine technologies that connect students to the University of Michigan and each other. We will look at technologies used at U-M (e.g. CTools, Mbox, Wolverine Access) and social technologies that help build cultural understanding and friendship (e.g. DuoLingo, MOOCs, Facebook, Down to Chill). This will be an interactive session, so please bring a digital device if available. Light refreshments will be served.
