Faculty, Instructional Technologies, Presentations/Speeches, and Teaching and Learning

Using technology appropriately to enhance teaching can provide relevance and interactivity for learners. This interactive workshop, led by four different specialists in education and technology, will offer a practical introduction to effective teaching technologies and how and why to integrate them appropriately into your teaching. By reflecting on learning outcomes and decisions about the purpose and use of technology, participants will use our planner to thoughtfully integrate different technological tools into their teaching. Demonstrations of video and audio files, online repositories, e-cases, online learning objects, clickers, web design tools, and Articulate Presenter software will give participants many ideas for planning for technology-enhanced teaching. An annotated reference list and planner will be handed out during the workshop. Please bring to the session a brief lesson plan or topic in which to integrate technology.

The meaning of "student" is evolving at Duke University in response to many institutional and faculty outreach efforts. This trend is mirrored at many of Duke’s peer institutions. We see the concept of "learners" expanding beyond traditionally enrolled college students to include community participants, youth enrolled in talent programs, and continuing education students. At the same time, the realm of academic services faculty use for teaching has grown beyond traditional institutionally provided services such as Blackboard to encompass Flickr, blogs, Twitter, and any new technology available to faculty for free. How can we address the expansion in student population and in resources? How do you extend your institution’s computing resources to people outside your campus? How do you extend your local service concepts and policies to the end-user commodity-driven applications that are within any faculty’s reach? Lynne O'Brien and Klara Jelinkova will discuss the issues, concepts, and solutions surrounding identity management proposed and implemented at Duke University.
