If you want to fail, build irrelevant courses that waste time and look bad. However, you can avoid failure by understanding the organization's objectives, your learner's needs, and building a great looking course that is appropriate to its learning objectives.

There are thousands of technological tools out there to help you make your college classroom more dynamic for your students and processes more streamlined for yourself. There are so many, in fact, that the prospect of identifying which tools will help you and be worth your time can be daunting. You're already busy. You have a million things to do to prepare for and execute your college courses, and dedicating time to the things you love is increasingly difficult. With your busy life as a college professor in mind, we at Top Hat have put together a list of 10 tools to help you set your class up for success in 2015. When considering which new tools to adapt in your class, you'll want to consider which aspect of your class could benefit from technology and what outcome you hope..

Good stats and on the correct course, thinking about it and not sounding negative, from observation, it's a mind set change with these 21st Century tools. Those who achieve are on top of this, and the others may feel an invasion of their personal worlds. Yet the mind set is shared with those in front them, standing at a podium. I have found it interesting that this year many sources for collaboration and social media have changed their logo to include Learning in their names. Instead of Social Network - Social Learning Network or Community. Putting stats aside, once that reluctant learner starts using the learning networks and tools and sees their achievement (grades), the stats for success with mobile learning starts to fill out on the positive side. Nothing like a winner, everyone gets on board.
