Outline of Remarks 1.Today’s passions re teaching and learning! 2.What we’re doing at Wake Forest! 3. What about the future? 4. YOUR comments, reactions, questions

How has the computer changed teaching and learning? 1.It’s caused every teacher to rethink & redesign. 2. By increasing student options, it has increased competition and compelled universities to pay more attention to the quality of teaching Our profession has been changed forever!

Reflections upon my State Farm Fellowship Venture Looking back, I believe that a lot of time and effort was wasted as a consequence of my “not understanding what changes I was making and why I was making them.” Cyndee Brown, March 26, 2003 …so many options…so little time

Reasons 150 Professors Added Computer Enhancements 1.Communication-Interaction 2.Collaboration-Teams 3.Controversy-Debate 4.Customization-Diversity 5.Consultants-Adjuncts

A Ubiquitous Computing Environment … all teaching proceeds on the assumption that all students and faculty have as much access to the Internet as they have to the library The curriculum is not dumbed down!

Pop Quiz Let’s have a show of hands! Do you believe– at Illinois State Today– that it’s realistic to teach “on the assumption that all students and faculty have as much access to the Internet as they have to the library”?

Examples from Illinois State Cyndee Brown Meredith Downes Jeff Courtright, Diane Clemens, Paul Brauchle, Jodi Hallsten Will Reger, Alan Lessoff, Monica Noraian, Silvana Siddalil Ryan Brown Ann Weber, Gary Weilbacher

To understand a liberal arts education as an opportunity to study with professors who think by their own set of concepts To learn how to apply economic concepts To learn how to work collaboratively To learn computer skills To improve writing and speaking FIRST YEAR SEMINAR The Economists’ Way of Thinking Students = 15 All Freshmen Required Course

Brown’s First Year Seminar Before Class –Students Find URLs & Identify Criteria –Interactive exercises –Muddiest Point –Lecture Notes – dialogue –Cybershows During Class –One Minute Quiz –Computer Tip Talk –Class Polls –Team Projects After Class –Edit Drafts by Team –Guest Editors –Hyperlinks & Pictures –Access Previous Papers Other –Daily Announcements –Team Web Page –Personal Web Pages –Exams include Computer –Portfolio –Materials Forever

Research Results University of Central Florida--- Hybrid courses win! (the rule) 18,844 students at 71 American Universities--- More “good practices” for wired students! professors at 50 Research Universities--- Interaction, Collaboration, Debate, Custom, Adjuncts! Virginia Polytechnic University--- Calculus failure rate cut by 44%!

What about the future? 1. Early results from the research 2. The Highest Benefit/Cost Uses 3. Education Trends Extended

Low Hanging Fruit [within the constraints of time & money] 1.URLs 2. 3.Course Management System Better 85% Some Use Vs 5% Heavy Use

How is the computer changing teaching & learning ? Collaboration Magnified! More exchange between professors and students. Learning Magnified! More interactive teaming and collaborative assignments. Relevance Magnified! More contact with off campus practitioners and constituencies. Community Magnified! More active members of more co-curricular organizations.
