Title:Calming the Waters: Facilitating Technology Change at Your University (ID: EDU06151)
Author(s):Danna Vessell (University of Missouri-Columbia) and Andrew White (University of Missouri-Columbia)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/09/2006)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:This hands-on seminar addresses the driving forces behind educational technology change and helps participants outline strategies for how their institutions can deal with these changes from the theoretical "innovation adoption" and "change process" perspectives as well as practical approaches. We will present a case study of the process used at the University of Missouri-Columbia including statistics to collect, partnerships important to nurture, and "costs" to consider in a successful migration scenario. Participants will then work on developing consolidation/migration plans and discuss those strategies.

Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:This seminar will provide a concrete model for faculty technology development with a pedagogical perspective. Participants will experience components of a participatory seminar developed at St. Lawrence University, where faculty explore the learning management system as a framework for the discussion on digital natives and the Net Generation. Presenters will share experiences and resources from a well-established faculty technology development program, much of which is transferable to other institutions, with the intent to facilitate adaptation elsewhere.

What Do Faculty Do with Technology, Anyway? Preparing for Tomorrow's Technology with Pedagogical Efficacy

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:What Do Faculty Do with Technology, Anyway? Preparing for Tomorrow's Technology with Pedagogical Efficacy (ID: EDU06175)
Author(s):Veronica Diaz (The University of Arizona) and Patricia A. McGee (University of Texas at San Antonio)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/09/2006)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Although most institutions provide support for faculty member use of technology, they may not know exactly how technology is being implemented in teaching and learning environments. This practical seminar will help institutions determine the current state of their faculty's technology use, illustrate emerging instructional technologies, and provide strategies to help instructional designers and faculty design pedagogically effective activities and applications for the next generation of learning tools and students.
