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.

Using Rubrics to Foster Learning-Centered Practices

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Using Rubrics to Foster Learning-Centered Practices (ID: EDU06155)
Author(s):Phyllis Blumberg (University of the Sciences in Philadelphia) and JoAnn Gonzalez-Major (University of the Sciences in Philadelphia)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/09/2006)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Through the use of an online self-assessment rubric and supporting worksheets, faculty developers can guide faculty to incrementally change their teaching in five practice areas. Participants will use these materials to assess the learning-centered status of a course. We will also consider if all courses should be learner centered. We will discuss the various ways faculty developers can use self-assessment rubrics, and problems that can arise when administrators use formative evaluations as summative measures to make high-stakes decisions.

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.

Evolving Faculty Development: A Model for Responding to Change

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Evolving Faculty Development: A Model for Responding to Change (ID: EDU0453)
Author(s):Benjamin Hambelton (Boise State University) and Kevin S. Wilson (Boise State University)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/20/2004)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:A major challenge in faculty development is moving faculty from technical skills training to consideration of the pedagogical potential and implications of digital technologies. One university's seven-year evolution from skills training to curricular development to technology-infused pedagogical design will provide a model for structuring faculty development efforts at other institutions.
