As part of The Winter Teaching, Learning, and Technology Institute, faculty are invited to participate in the session entitled “Pushing the Envelope: Interface Between Innovative Technologies and Student Learning.” Faculty recipients of the Advanced and Emerging Technologies in Instructional Contexts grants will share their projects at this session, scheduled from 9-11:30 a.m., Wednesday, Jan. 30, in 110 Memorial Hall. Refreshments will be available at 8:30 a.m.

Faculty presenters include Douglas Buttrey, chemical engineering; Ian Hall, mechanical engineering; George Watson, physics and astronomy; Araya Debessay, accounting; Raymond Nichols, art; and Lloyd Shorter, music.

Using project demonstrations, participants will experience the instructional use of these advanced technologies from both the students' and the faculty member's viewpoint. Presenters also will address a particular aspect of their project, such as the reason(s) for integrating this particular technology in their teaching, and the impact on student learning.

This interactive session will give participants the opportunity to experience first-hand the integration of high-end technologies into the instructional process, to get ideas for their own teaching, and to network with faculty colleagues with interest in instructional technology. In addition, presenters will share tips about the preparation of proposals for high tech grants.
