Book on technology in teaching
has strong University influence
Twelve members of the University community contributed chapters to a book intended to help faculty better use technology to enhance their teaching.
Developing Faculty to Use Technology: Programs and Strategies to Enhance Teaching is a collaborative work by members of the Learning Technology Consortium, which was founded in 1997. Published by Anker Publishing, the book offers practical, proven information on how to help faculty integrate technology into teaching and learning activities.
Of the 70 brief chapters chronicling how a wide range of universities successfully implemented faculty development programs, 12 chapters were written by current or former UD faculty and staff. Those authors and their chapter titles are:
In addition, William Frawley, former UD professor of linguistics and now dean of arts and sciences at George Washington University, contributed the chapters "Motivating Faculty: Five Strategies" and "Development Grant Program: Advanced and Emerging Technologies in Instructional Contexts."
Developing Faculty to Use Technology is divided into seven parts--philosophy, communication, staffing and support strategies, teaching environments, model programs, assessment of student programs and assessing the effect of technology on learning. The editor is David G. Brown, provost emeritus and former vice president of Wake Forest University.
