2. History Vision Goals Method Results Demo The Need for TuT….five years ago  Create a community for faculty seeking to transform their curriculum using technology  Provide resources (hardware, software and people) to carry out the teaching changes  Serve an increasing student population without additional brick and mortar investment  Provide access to our students anytime and anywhere

3. History Vision Goals Method Results Demo Our Vision at CSUS  F or using new technologies in learning environments at the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) consists of faculty members embracing their changing role— from “the sage on the stage” to “the guide on the side.”

4. History Vision Goals Method Results Demo CTL’s Faculty-Driven Model to Improve Teaching and Learning on Campus. F ocuses on  F aculty as S tudents  C oordinated A ssistance, Campus-wide technical, Faculty mentors, library professionals, and computing, communications & media services

5. History Vision Goals Method Results Demo Teaching Adult Learners Papalewis, 2003 Say It Tactile Process Auditory Learners Need to Talk it Out Process Tactilely Presentations Group Work Peer-to-Peer See It Visual Process Shape & Form Pictures & Images Needs to See Speaker Assigned Readings Power Points Outlines Write on Blackboards

6. History Vision Goals Method Results Demo The Goals Are 1) S upport faculty in seeking technology-based solutions to educational problems; 2) E ncourage faculty to choose appropriate technologies and technological projects; and 3) I mprove communications among the IT staff, the Campus Computing Center, the University Media Center, the Library, and the CTL

7. History Vision Goals Method Results Demo Faculty Mentors are Instrumental in our Success The CTL employs Faculty Mentors to promote teaching learning strategies Faculty Mentors continue working with faculty throughout the project and act as part of a planning committee for future Institutes

8. History Vision Goals Method Results Demo Building Knowledge Communities  We anticipate student learning will be transformed through the practice and reflection teaching focused on student learning that is made visible, sharable, and widely useful. Iiyosh, T. (2003). Electronic Portfolios as Change Agents in Advancing the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.  Both faculty and students come to understand resources and support structures to take advantage of new media and technologies as a community of practice and reflection.

9. History Vision Goals Method Results Demo Teaching Using Technology TUT Summer Institutes  158 (20% full time faculty) have completed training through the TUT Institutes  16,000+ students have been impacted  P rofessors across all disciplines: 31 from Arts and Letters, 10 from Business Administration, 17 from Engineering and Computer Science, 36 from Education, 30 from Health and Human Services, 14 from Natural Science and Mathematics, and 20 from Social Sciences and Interdisciplinary Studies.

10. History Vision Goals Method Results Demo Assessments of New Teaching Strategies  F aculty members embrace their changing role from “the sage on the stage” to “the guide on the side.”  Indicators of Success : (1) make teaching practices public and visible; (2) establish a critical peer-to-peer review; and, (3) build on each other’s work.

11. History Vision Goals Method Results Demo Faculty Report Their Teaching Has Changed…  A Business professor said, “Using technology promotes student to student learning…and takes my content to a more conceptual process.”  A Health and Human Services professor said, “Learning communities between two of my courses promoted independence and collaboration…provided more feedback opportunities for students.”

12. History Vision Goals Method Results Demo Faculty Report…  A Natural Science and Math professor said, “My student’s feel connected to class outside of class…and they created materials using the technology that they could take into their classrooms for elementary student’s to use.”

13. History Vision Goals Method Results Demo Faculty Report…  A Biology professor said, “the technology brought a conceptual understanding through a visual…thus allowing my taking of information with no physical basis to solve questions using this physical interactive visual.”

14. History Vision Goals Method Results Demo Faculty Report…  A Foreign Language professor said, “technology allowed me to show movement of sounds…very graphic intensive to use first with sound then visuals are seen for inflection.”

15. History Vision Goals Method Results Demo Faculty Report…  An Engineering professor said, “technology allows me to recreate a job site and build on theory and practices while creating a digital library.”

16. History Vision Goals Method Results Demo We agree with Bates (2000) faculty development should not be treated as a separate activity…must be embedded in a broad range of strategies and integrated by teams.

17. History Vision Goals Method Results Demo The Centerpiece of our Evidence of Success  http://www.csus.edu/uccs/acadtech/tools/ instruction/toolbook/showcase.htm http://www.csus.edu/uccs/acadtech/tools/ instruction/toolbook/showcase.htm  and http://gaia.ecs.csus.edu/~jpforms/ctl/. http://gaia.ecs.csus.edu/~jpforms/ctl/ These websites provide anywhere, anytime, resources for faculty members to develop skills in using technology in their classrooms.

18. History Vision Goals Method Results Demo What's in the Our Future?  Use wireless technology to provide access to development services to faculty anywhere.  Provide discipline specific services that address the needs of specific academic units.  Develop and implement an "intermediate" level Teaching using Technology program aimed at retraining past institute participants, and/or retooling experienced teachers who are looking to transform their teaching with technology.
