Our role as academic computing specialists means we help faculty incorporate technology in the classroom. According to Yip, in technology, one size does not fit all. There are as many possible applications for computer technology in the classroom as there are instructors and methods for teaching. Wong and Yip's combined proficiency in chemistry, physics, computer programming and graphic design enables them to use the latest technology to meet an instructor's specific needs. As the orientation changes, the pattern will change.
Students can get on the Web site and understand how it works.
The Advanced Technology Group keeps up with new developments that may have applications in any or all fields of study. The latest technological wonder Wong and Yip are considering is a three-dimensional printer. A printer that doesn't actually print, it picks out pieces of a foam-like substance to create a model students can hold and observe from all angles. Wong, who is pursuing an M.F.A. at Wake Forest, is particularly interested in applications for this technol- ogy. Their presentations complement the author's paper so the reader can try out the technology online.
