Three very important initiatives are well underway. One program offers significant training to support expanded technology skills ranging from Powerpoint to PhotoShop, laserdiscs to LCD panels. In addition to skill development, several workshops focus on the learning principles that guide decisions about integrating technology and teaching. Toward a Seamless Learning Environment. Dr. James Anderson from NCState will lead the workshop focused on setting high expectations, promoting active learning, and teaching to diverse learning styles.
Funds are available to support department and individual activities to extend the work.
The third effort focuses on enhancing our skills as scholars. This includes offices, meeting rooms, storage areas, closets, and more. Should someone come with a tape measure, do not be alarmed that your space is about to be captured. With new academic facilities opening in Fall l998, it is essential that we prepare a campus migration plan that maximizes use of our facilities. This dynamic group of business leaders and alumni are willing to be guest speakers on a wide variety of topics, consult on internships, and provide career connections for our students.
