St. Lawrence University, Canton, NY
For faculty, instructional and information technologists, and librarians from St. Lawrence University and other liberal education institutions who are interested in examining the instructional technologies available at St. Lawrence, connecting them to proven teaching and learning practices, and exploring how they fit within the context of liberal education.. (Liaisons' deadline: Friday, December 7, 2007)
Faced with a flood of available instructional technologies, faculty members must make difficult decisions about which tools will help them and their students best achieve their teaching and learning goals. Just as faculty and students need technologies that make sense for liberal education, their campuses need innovative pedagogies that advance their missions and priorities.
Participants in this workshop will examine the instructional technologies available at the host campus, connect them to proven teaching and learning practices, and explore how they fit within the context of liberal education. For each technology, the workshop leader will present best practices from the host campus and elsewhere and lead hands-on practice with the technology. Participants will leave with a plan for how to use at least one new technology to advance their teaching goals and enhance their students’ learning experiences.
This workshop is available through NITLE's Workshops-to-Go program, which delivers professional development opportunities for faculty and academic support staff directly to participating campuses. Workshops-to-Go focus on the effective integration of technology into teaching and learning. Contact your campus liaison to explore options for bringing a Workshop-to-Go to your campus. Liaisons may order Workshops-to-Go by contacting Rebecca Davis.
