Dakota Wesleyan University is committed to the foundations of liberal arts education. Computer literacy is enhancing the ability of faculty to offer students a broad and progressive curriculum designed to address the 21st century. The Educational Technology Center was created to focus resources on faculty development. Services ranging from training, support, research, to recognition for accomplishment offer faculty a firm foundation for growth and development. Training is designed to offer faculty the ability to seek new skills, refine current knowledge, and challenge themselves to keep ahead of the pace in their discipline using educational technology.
Support is offered to faculty year round.
Services include problem solving, resource development, computing consultations, classroom assistance, and availability of resources. Research by the Educational Technology Center will include review of campus curriculum, assessment of student learning, resource procurement, and industry information. Recognition for faculty accomplishment serves as the highlight of the project. Advances in the classroom that are added with technology will be showcased throughout the year. Although the Educational Technology Center serves the DWU faculty, the intent is to provide an open forum for anyone interested in advancing academics through the use of innovative pedagogy.
