The WIKI can be used as a stand-alone resource and it can be used together with #EmTechMOOC. Everyone is welcome to add and edit WIKI resources.
EmTech has been developed through a collaboration among students, faculty, and staff from many campuses throughout the State University of New York (SUNY), the largest comprehensive university system in the United States.
Funding has been provided through a SUNY Innovative Instruction Technology Grant (IITG), a University at Buffalo Professional Pathways Grant, and a National Education Association (NEA) – Learning and Leadership Grant.
