"Teaching
and Learning with Computer Technology: Moving Toward an
Ubiquitous Computing Environment"
|
The primary mission of the University of Central Arkansas is to
"maintain the highest academic quality and to ensure that its
curriculum remains current and responsive to the needs of those it
serves." In order to fulfill this mission today, UCA faculty need
opportunities to develop learning activities that utilize the powerful
resources of information technology. The
Technology Faculty Associates program was designed to provide
such opportunities. Since the Summer of 2000, selected faculty members
from across the University have been brought together for a week-long
training seminar on learning management systems, on uses of
information technology in teaching, and they have been provided with a
state-of-the-art laptop computer for instructional use. All
participants in the program are then given opportunities for on-going
learning through a series of workshops, information technology events
and access to support personnel. By teaching faculty new ways to reach
their students─including through the use of course shells, slide show
programs and other technological instructional aids─the program seeks
to ensure that UCA students develop the critical reasoning and
information communication skills they will need as they enter the
world.
