6. Learning styles
Carolyn provides an auditory and visual cultural experience. Her students can immerse themselves more fully in a culture by hearing the pronunciation of terms in her course glossary, in addition to seeing images and reading text.
Issue
Students have different learning styles
Audio/visual cues may strengthen recall
Different paths and order may benefit some
Add elements with new potential
Diverse learning styles
Formative assessment
Variety of activities

This is Carolyn’s Multicultural Food Habits course. This page has an interactive map that allows students to select a region by clicking an area of the map.

10. Carolyn provides some cultural context through content on web pages.

12. Students are aware of important terms because they are highlighted throughout. They can click a word to view the associated glossary entry.

13. The glossary provides students with text, images, and in some cases, pronunciation.

31. To Register

32. “Faculty friendly”
In IT the PRESENT, a one stop teaching, learning and technology center for faculty. It provides the sustained ongoing supprt for faculty who have decide to make learning more active through technology.
CLICK
Practical Resources for Educators Seeking Effective New Technologies (PRESENT)
Both a virtual site and a real location
First question is what are your teaching goals? Add technology where appropriate to achieve those goals.
Do not add technology if no pedagogical value

33. IT Support Half of IT support staff have masters degrees in education
Wide range of skills—programming, digital media specialist, graphics, Course Management Systems expertise.
Instructional designer
Form support teams for faculty projects with Librarians and Center for Teaching Effectiveness staff
So how does all this happen at UD
Staff of 6 professionals in US
CITAs are campus support people, some of whom provide TLT support, e.g. Foreign Languages

34. Faculty Encouragement
Faculty need our encouragement in a variety of ways and we need to celebrate successes!
Gloss over this slide

35. Showcase Faculty Work
Examples of what faculty and IT has done, how they’ve used various tools. Can share experiences.

36. Institutional Support Elements of grant proposal
Institutional Support -- we’re very fortunate to have it.
Grant proposals for Course Redesign
Funding by Provost
Solicitation by Deans
Matching funds from department

37. Course Redesign Projects
Biology
Education
Consumer Studies
Plant and Soil Science
Psychology
ITUE – small projects
The first 5 projects were funded by the first round of the grant program.
The Biology department proposed a redesign of their introductory class. The overall intent of this course was to
improve the connection between the lecture components of the course and the Lab sections.
Students are required to learn the correct operation of a microscope, and to address this we created a microscopy simulation.
Some class topics have been videotaped, and these can be viewed by the students as well as the graduate student instructors
that run the lab sections.

38. ITUE Technology Assistance Grants
Grants staff and student time to apply active learning to a specific course
Awarded to ITUE fellows
2 examples:
Harry Shipman and E-labs for Physics
John Deiner and Online Newspaper for Political Science

39. Departmental Support Chemical Engineering
Here are three little things that contributed to WebCT’s success rate in Engineering:
Engineering identified a staff person who could act as a WebCT liaison. This person functions as a first line of WebCT support within the dept. – i.e., reminds faculty about deadlines, submits course requests, intercedes to address minor problems and, in some cases, manages online content for faculty.
Engineering faculty received a condensed intro course that was scheduled at their computing site during a departmental meeting time slot. Graduate TAs were invited and in some cases took on the role of course designer.

40. IT Support Lessons Learned
To change the curriculum, need to change how faculty perceive teaching and learning
Infuse the campus culture with a variety of ways for faculty to learn about pedagogy and to reinforce that learning
Faculty readiness is one of the major factors to consider
ITUE is one of the major sources of preparing faculty for both active learning and technology
In conclusion, I would say that one should not be satisfied with measuring improvement purely by the numbers.
While they certainly play a part, the real change starts when faculty change their perceptions of teaching and learning.
And in order for that to happen, the campus culture has to change and provide opportunities for faculty to learn more
about pedagogy, and the role that technology can play in supporting pedagogical change.
INFUSION Creating an environment as we have has enabled a variety of outcomes – including some unexpected ones.
Through a separate grant process, one professor received funding to pursue production of plasticized body parts for teaching.
Unfamiliar with PBL himself, he learned it from IT staff, and then used it – very effectively – in his teaching.
READINESS (Pew grant lessons learned )
All 10 courses completed in 1st round shared these characteristics.
Continuous assessment and feedback
Increased interaction
Online tutorials
Embodies active learning and some of the Seven Priniciples of Effective Practice in Undergraduate Teaching
Check out what PEW has to say. Maybe can adapt to our curriculum redesign grants.

41. PBL projects John Deiner in Political Science Harry Shipman in Physics
Charlene Hamilton in Nutrition and Dietetics
Go to CD to showcase

43. E-labs in Physics
The Shadows of Light, an interactive e-lab, makes use of problem-based learning to teach about the seasons
through the studies of shadows. \
Here, the “problem” is framed as a criminal investigation.
Replete with resources, pop-up video, engaging content and a crime scene drama, the students are able to systematically
explore concepts. Through studying photos of a “suspect” they can determine the validity of the suspect’s stories.
