For more information about specific workshops, please see our workshop information . Entering its fifth season, the Summer Web Institute and Mentoring program is designed to help faculty learn to use web-based technologies to enhance learning in their classes. SWIM institute workshops provide a one or two-week IT immersion experience. By the end of each workshop, each faculty member who participates develops new web-based approaches to teaching and learning for an upcoming class. During the following academic year, these faculty serve as resources for using web tools for their colleagues.
Faculty can drop in without appointment to use the computers.
A student assistant is there to help if needed. Judi will provide programming assistance, particularly in support of WebCT and the development of SWIM 2001. Mike is developing an elegant, efficient, and much needed database for all FCSC programs and services. Additionally, he is providing his web expertise to the FCSC and the division of Instructional and Information Technology. The Faculty Computing Support Center can borrow faculty a Dell Inspiron or Macintosh G3 laptop for off-campus presentations.
