HumaniTech: Bridging Divides, Building Collaborations

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:HumaniTech: Bridging Divides, Building Collaborations (ID: EDU07099)
Author(s):Barbara L. Cohen (University of California, Irvine), Stephen D. Franklin (University of California, Irvine), and Elizabeth Pace (University of California, Irvine)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/23/2007)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

HumaniTech links humanities and technology by combining the perspectives and skills of faculty and staff from both humanities and campus-wide resources to work across disciplines and lines that often divide the research university: research/teaching, central/local control, faculty/staff, traditionalists/innovators. HumaniTech focuses on collaboration where IT is essential to these bridge-building efforts rather than a goal in itself.

Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants, and Why the LMS Works: A Model for Faculty Development

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants, and Why the LMS Works: A Model for Faculty Development (ID: EDU06161)
Author(s):Michael Phillips (St. Lawrence University) and Sondra R. Smith (St. Lawrence University)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/09/2006)
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.
