The Faculty Survey on the Use of Instructional Materials in the Classroom identified the need for assistance and training in developing web-based course materials. The Technology Initiative enabled the process by delivering networked computers to faculty offices. To assist interested faculty with developing supplementary web-based course materials for Fall 1999, we are seeking four faculty to participate in a pilot project this fall. The project will team a faculty member with appropriate Information Resources personnel and students to develop web-based resources for selected courses. We are looking for faculty with little or no web experience or expertise but with a desire to begin integrating web resources into their curriculum.
Goals Support innovative faculty development of course web pages as learning tools.
Share results and lessons learned with other faculty by showcasing projects. Encourage development of interdisciplinary instructional support teams among information resources staff including web developers, librarians, and multimedia specialists. Write brief summary report of project and lessons learned to be made available on web Criteria for Review of Applications Potential for improving delivery, updating, and revising, of course materials as compared with paper-based course materials. Faculty with little or no knowledge of using web pages in teaching Applicability to other courses Potential for distributing interdisciplinary projects across campus. Scope of project.
