The days of the chalkboad may be fast disappearing. Traditional classrooms do still exist on campus and in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Professors still use the chalkboard and other basic tools of the profession when they lecture.
But the technological age that is hitting the rest of our lives is getting more of a foothold in college classrooms. PowerPoint presentations have replaced the old overhead display. The Internet can provide almost instantaneous information on any number of subjects. Video clips and other technological advances are becoming more and more prevalent in large lectures, particularly in general education courses. To recognize the increasing importance of using technology in the classroom, LAS has named six faculty members as master teachers for the current academic year.
