Murray Baumgarten and Peter Kenez will discuss how teaching in the liberal arts has changed over the years, and how their course, The Holocaust—taken by hundreds of UCSC students each year—has moved from the lecture hall to the global electronic stage. As a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course), the class reached more than 15,000 students worldwide. While student-faculty interaction is still a hallmark of a UCSC education, the evening will explore how great teachers can leverage technology to broaden their reach.
