Student and Teacher in Computer Classroom

Summer 2003 Institute

The summer 2003 institute focused on assisting faculty in integrating technology in their teaching. Faculty will develop an understanding of how technology can enhance traditional classroom instruction and develop the skills necessary to transform their courses with technology. The institute will promote faculty expertise in the use of technology for instruction to create new learning communities in which the students will have more active learning opportunity and greater engagement with the course and the professor. The institute will help faculty expand the classroom through a redesigned course in which the professor will have a refocused role away from the delivery of content and lecture, and more toward focused learning outcomes.

Institute Goals

After completion of the institute, faculty will be able to:

Incorporate effective technology tools in their teaching
Create learning communities
Assess the impact of technology on learning in their courses
Incorporate theories of design in their courses
Incorporate pedagogical principles in their courses
Investigate legal and ethical practices in teaching with technology
Incorporate web research strategies
Incorporate effective communication theory in their courses
Use WebCT as the Course Management Software
Use Dreamweaver as the main web editor
Use PowerPoint for class presentations and lecture notes
Use Photoshop to create and or edit images and graphics
Use a smart classrooms and the campus wireless network
Digitize course materials by scanning and converting file formats
Use iMovie to create and edit video
Create self assessment modules for their courses
Create student assessment modules for their courses

Outcomes

Faculty will develop course materials for one course including course content, assignments, self-assessment modules, assessment modules(exams, quizzes), graphical and audio/visual components, and research guides. In addition, faculty will also develop an assessment model to study the impact of technology in their courses for subsequent dissemination at state-wide symposium to be held the following year. In addition, faculty will work closely with students in developing course materials and troubleshooting technical problems in the development stage. Ultimately, institute participants will serve as future institute presenters and serve as mentors to future participants.
