Teaching with Technology Seminar

This monthly discussion group brings faculty together for conversations about ways of using technology to enhance teaching. Each session will focus on a particular aspect of teaching with technology and will be led by one or more faculty members who are using technology in exciting ways. Discussions will give faculty strategies to consider, a sense of how those strategies work in practice, and the chance to talk with fellow faculty about their own ideas and questions.

Faculty may attend individual sessions or the whole series. Novices as well as those experienced with teaching technology are invited to participate. In order to encourage interactive discussion, though, registration is limited to 12 faculty; please register in advance.
