This difference may dictate what online tools faculty make available to enhance student learning. This paper will present the results of a research study that questions whether this gendered use extends to higher education faculty and will discuss possible implications. http://connect.educause.edu/display/38136#comments CMS Faculty Instructional Technologies Articles, Papers, and Reports PDF Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences Thu, 13 Nov 2003 12:11:26 -0600 drupal 38136 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/37741 Faculty development professionals have much in common with guerilla warriors, and should consider adopting at least some of their tactics and strategies to facilitate the change process in higher education. This paper describes the characteristics of guerillas, discusses their tactics, and explains how these tactics can be utilized to promote the integration of technology in the teaching/learning process. http://connect.educause.edu/display/37741#comments Faculty Faculty Development Teaching and Learning Articles, Papers, and Reports PDF Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences Mon, 30 Oct 2000 16:59:58 -0600 drupal 37741 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/37714 Many early adopters of educational technology report increased costs, both in technology and in faculty time. This research shows how early followers can decrease costs by using existing on-line supplementary materials and a redesigned course structure that increases face-to-face contact and provides multiple means for students to learn course concepts. http://connect.educause.edu/display/37714#comments Faculty Financial Management Teaching and Learning Articles, Papers, and Reports PDF Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences Fri, 20 Oct 2000 14:28:30 -0500 drupal 37714 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/39062 Many universities currently encourage the use of online materials to enhance on-campus courses. Assessment of the impact of these technology-enhanced course initiatives is necessary if we are to gain insight into the best practices_those that faculty should be encouraged to use based on student need. Assessment studies of this type will enrich the literature of distributed learning in higher education. This paper will present and discuss 1) a process for designing assessment strategies to measure the impact of online course materials on students and 2) the results of formative and summative evaluation, including the categories of benefits reported by students. Based on a campus-wide initiative to train university faculty to use course management software, this assessment includes data collected during a pilot-term with over 1850 students enrolled in 20 courses (22 sections). http://connect.educause.edu/display/39062#comments Assessment and Evaluation Course Evaluation Faculty Online Teaching Strategies Articles, Papers, and Reports HTML Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences Real Audio/Video Mon, 14 Feb 2000 01:00:00 -0600 drupal 39062 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/39060 The gap between early adopters of technology and the mainstream faculty population has been described as so wide as to constitute a veritable chasm. But with support agencies understaffed, how can participation rates be increased? What kinds of strategies should be utilized to reach mainstream faculty who appear to have fundamentally different interests and needs than early adopter groups? One approach is to leverage the work of several universities to train and support faculty in their use of technology. This is a summary of the EDUCAUSE '99 session that described a four-institution project aimed at collaborative development of faculty development resources. Working together, a workshop curriculum was designed, guides to effective practices were developed, best practice strategies in faculty development were examined, and new services were initiated to enable each campus to cross the chasm. http://connect.educause.edu/display/39060#comments Faculty Articles, Papers, and Reports HTML Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences Mon, 29 Nov 1999 18:38:57 -0600 drupal 39060 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/39019 Faculty members can enrich their courses by combining student or alumni involvement with innovative uses of technology. This paper explains an approach used at Wake Forest University for implementing technology enhanced learning. The author sought the help of the Alumni Affairs office in recruiting alumni in different countries to participate electronically in the course using a web-based discussion forum. Guest experts were also "brought in" by using video and teleconferences. http://connect.educause.edu/display/39019#comments Faculty Articles, Papers, and Reports HTML Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences Fri, 12 Nov 1999 12:45:53 -0600 drupal 39019 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/39050 The Digital Image Database instructional system was developed in response to increased student enrollment generated by the new General Education program at James Madison University. Already utilizing its resources to the fullest, the Visual Resources Center projected its inability to meet demands of added course sections and instructors. In 1998, faculty members were awarded an in-house grant from the Center for Instructional Technology to develop a system to alleviate this strain. This system is an example of how technology can positively impact faculty and student success when appropriately integrated into the teaching and learning process. This paper encompasses project development and design, cost, instructional impact, institutional impact, and faculty and student assessment. http://connect.educause.edu/display/39050#comments Digital Imaging Faculty Online Teaching Strategies Articles, Papers, and Reports HTML Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences Wed, 10 Nov 1999 16:33:20 -0600 drupal 39050 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/39016 The University of Central Florida has developed an award winning faculty development program providing experiential, collaborative learning for instructors to build online programs. A project is now underway to extend training throughout the State of Florida. Supporting students is also essential to the success of teaching online. The Pegasus Connections Disc provides software tools, tutorials and just-in-time information for all incoming UCF students and faculty. Lessons learned and evaluation data are shared in this paper. http://connect.educause.edu/display/39016#comments Faculty Support Services Articles, Papers, and Reports HTML Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences Wed, 10 Nov 1999 13:35:21 -0600 drupal 39016 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/39020 This presentation deconstructs Web-based techniques that the presenters have researched and developed over several years, and demonstrates how each component can be used as a model for specific strategies in the classroom and services and products that faculty can use and apply. A variety of Internet and Web technologies are shown as they apply to the teaching of a statistics course and a fine arts course, both classes using a project-based or constructionist teaching strategy. Our unique coupling of the arts and statistics reveals how the same basic approach can be used in seemingly disparate settings to achieve instructional goals that are supported by many years of pedagogical research. Various technologies are used to stimulate students to create authentic finished work, publish their work on the Web, and develop real-world problem-solving skills. This paper discusses technologies and teaching strategies that reveal the characteristics of instructional technology services and products that faculty want. http://connect.educause.edu/display/39020#comments Faculty Instructional Computing Facilities Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Articles, Papers, and Reports PDF Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences Thu, 21 Oct 1999 14:52:52 -0500 drupal 39020 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/39046 The most useful and believable studies of courses and academic programs are those that instructors design themselves, focusing on those questions about which they care most. We present two systems that provide such tools to support the scholarship of teaching. First, a general purposes system for collecting information from students at the end of courses, developed by the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to coordinate academy, department and faculty inquiry and curriculum assessment. Second, Flashlight tool kits and training that focus on improving instructional uses of computing, video, and telecommunications. http://connect.educause.edu/display/39046#comments Curriculum Development Faculty Faculty Development Articles, Papers, and Reports HTML Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences Tue, 19 Oct 1999 12:47:43 -0500 drupal 39046 at http://connect.educause.edu
