All presentations from the Lunch and Learn series are on the web. Support sites for the academic web server are provided for students and faculty as course web sites as well as a frequently asked questions document off the academic web server. The process of requesting a course web site is handled through on-line forms. Personal Contacts Presentations have been made to the deans, department chairs, faculty meetings, and individual faculty. In order to understand our efforts, you might want to understand a few of my basic rules of thumb regarding instruction in higher education.
Instruction is planned learning The goal is student learning.
The activity that the faculty engage in when developing learning environments is called teaching. While much learning takes place during higher education that is not planned, planned learning is called instruction. Thus each faculty member may have different possibilities. Obviously there are many bad strategies, but that does not imply that a best strategy exists. They have a calling and a purpose and they will do what it takes to get the job accomplished, as they define it.
