These will be collaborative projects utilizing faculty and staff experience
as well as various written material on these subjects. Here are some examples
of the subjects we would like to help you explore.
What do
you want to use technology for?
These two modules are developed to give all the basics of online learning.
Module One is a good place to acquaint yourself with Teaching/Learning
activities and the technologies needed for learning.
Encourage responsibility for learning
Successful learning requires students to be key players in
directing their own education. By making resources,
expectations, lines of communication, and opportunities for
contribution and collaboration accessible, instructors can
encourage students to take greater responsibility in their
instruction.
Involve students in research
Getting your students involved in research projects can help
them develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. They
may also be engage more actively in learning when they work
on projects that extend beyond a particular course. Several
tools can facilitate student involvement in research.
Promote student collaboration
Busy schedules and commuting students often make it difficult
to meet face-to-face for group work. Information
communication technologies can provide unique strategies to
promote convenient collaboration.
Encourage discussion
Engaged, vibrant student discussion can be a crucial part of
learning but is usually limited by class time and in a big class
may be impossible to manage. Email and electronic discussion
tools extend opportunities for interaction, provide all students
with a chance to contribute, and force students to compose
their thoughts in writing.
