Teaching and Learning Tools
Need to be addressed:
Provide an "end-to-end" solution in support of teaching and learning. Includes the integration of classroom support, assessment of teaching strategies, and local educational technology support Description:
The development of easy-to-use and effective teaching and learning tools for faculty and students is becoming increasingly important. The Teaching Resources Center, IET Mediaworks and Classroom Technology Services provide the core of the central campus support for teaching and learning for faculty and students. The coverage includes pedagogy, presentation technologies, support for the development of presentation materials, the classroom support for the presentations themselves, and assessment strategies. The faculty needs the kind of support that provides for an "end-to-end" solution beginning with the development of the content to the presentation in the classroom and delivery over the Web. This project will take on the integration of teaching and learning components such as course management tools, online course development tools, presentation tools, active learning environments, and the next generation of classroom technology. The total support package for the faculty must also include support at the departmental and college level. This project will include the development of an inventory of the educational technology support available to faculty at the departmental and college levels - local support plays an important role in providing "end-to-end" solutions for the faculty.
