HumaniTech: Bridging Divides, Building Collaborations

drupal — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 09:24:33 -0600

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 Storytelling to Enhance Faculty Development in Universal Design for Learning

drupal — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 11:04:17 -0600

This presentation will demonstrate discipline-specific case studies to enhance faculty development in universal design for learning. We will highlight California State University's EnACT project, which supports learning for 10,000 CSU students with disabilities, and MERLOT ELIXR, a faculty development collaboration across state systems and campuses for developing cases and shared teaching resources.

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

drupal — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 15:56:46 -0500

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.

Northwestern University's Academic Technologies and Searle Center for Teaching Excellence collaboratively produced a graduate student teaching with technology workshop and evaluated the effect of the workshop on participants' conceptions of teaching and learning with technology. This presentation will provide an overview of the workshop and evaluation findings.

By Design: Grassroots Development for Strategic Gains

drupal — Tue, 01 Nov 2005 12:34:32 -0600

Virginia Tech's Faculty Development Institute, Graduate Education Development Institute, and Center for Innovation in Learning represent substantive, long-term investments in faculty creativity. This presentation will describe a program suite that supports opportunities for systematically rethinking teaching and using technology to benefit learning across curricula and in strategically targeted instructional arenas.

Courseware Development For Distance Education: Issues And Policy Models For Faculty Ownership

drupal — Wed, 25 Oct 2000 09:45:38 -0500

The issue of who owns courseware is of great concern to faculty and the university. Regardless of the type of institution, intellectual property (IP) policies that address ownership are essential to ensure incentives to create courseware, avoid litigation, and avoid competition between institutions. This paper provides an overview of current policies of higher education institutions concerning faculty ownership. You'll learn the issues that universities should consider when creating IP policies that address the emerging area of courseware development and review the current models available for adaptation. Examples currently in use for faculty ownership also will be presented.

The University of Virginia Instructional Toolkit -- Class Home Pages without Angst or HTML

drupal — Tue, 19 Oct 1999 15:44:13 -0500

The Instructional Toolkit is a Web-based application that allows instructors at the University of Virginia to easily create and manage class home pages -- or to selectively use electronic features such as class e-mail lists, class rolls, anonymous course feedback, student homework submission, and final grade submission. First used by 28 brave instructors in Spring 1996, the Toolkit has been continually enhanced with new features and modifications to existing functions -- increases in use and acceptance have been dramatic -- over 1200 classes were using the Toolkit in September 1999.
