Faculty Showcase 2009
The 2009 Faculty Technology Showcase was held on Friday, November 13 from 10am - 2pm in Matheson 208. This annual event was an opportunity for faculty members to show their peers some of the unique ways they are using technology in their courses. The Showcase coincided with National Distance Learning Week (www.ndlw.org), the purpose of which is to "generate greater awareness and appreciation for distance learning, including K-12, Higher Education, Corporate and Military, while recognizing leaders and best practices in the field."
Below is a list of the topics, along with links to the presentations. You can also watch the Showcase archive.
