Summer 2004 Institute
The summer 2004 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.
