Fall 2007 Conversations about Teaching & Technology
Beyond the Tools:
Environments for Learning
Beyond the Tools is designed to open up the learning environment to reveal how technology supports learning and assessment. The series highlights the innovations and successes of campus colleagues while encouraging others to rethink the assessment process. This semester’s series is designed thematically. Plan to attend every program to consider strategies for designing (or redesigning) a course so that it engages students in learning and outfits them for technology-rich learning environments.
