'AnswerGarden': Online Propagation

AnswerGarden (answergarden.ch) is a freely available website that generates collaborative word clouds. This presentation will introduce AnswerGarden and demonstrate two simple ways that it can be used during lectures or through Blackboard. The first engages critical thinking in students and delivers formative feedback to the lecturer or tutor. The second is a brainstorming activity that provides alternative benefits to traditional questioning methods.
