So, after the first one or two workshops, the faculty stopped attending. At the same time, we have introduced some administrative expectations, such as syllabi on line, student transcripts available electronically, class chat room, electronic portfolios, etc Seton Hall University Computer Training Center for basic computer skills . Provides materials that give faculty options for using technology in their teaching Offers training in Powerpoint, Netscape Communicator, Web Development, etc. The University of Missouri-Columbia has developed a comprehensive resource for assisting all instructional staff in their efforts to use technology to enhance teaching and learning. Services range from hour long workshops to one day seminars to multi-week institutes.
Topics run from basic to advanced and the focus is kept on pedagogy as well as technology.
There is strong faculty input through an advisory committee. We've developed a program for faculty that we think addresses some of the problems that others have described. The workshop follows a course-planning process. Then we ask how those goals might be met. What are the key ingredients of the educational experiences that will lead to those kinds of learning.
