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.
