Faculty members applied to be a Tech Fellow and 14 were selected for the week-long intensive held May 14 - 18. Using information from the intensive, participants are to improve and offer one course in the coming academic year that incorporates technology. The focus is to increase collaboration among students and with professors that leads to enhanced learning. Tech Fellows will also participate in online discussions during the academic year, and report progress and outcomes to colleagues in spring 2013.
Lee Henrikson and
Sarah Frick, instructional designers with the
Faculty Technology Center, designed and taught the intensive.
