The Center for Advancement and Instructional Technology and the University librarians invite all faculty to join us for a week of technology-supported pedagogy. This faculty-focused series highlights aligning pedagogical goals with appropriate technical and non-technical supports. Instructional designers, emerging technologists, librarians and current Towson faculty will be conducting these hands-on sessions and providing examples and practical applications of the material presented.
Workshop topics include Creating an Effective Syllabus, Presenting Content Without an Overhead Projector, Evaluating the Effectiveness of Your Instruction, and Emerging Technologies for Scholars. Register at http://www.towson.edu/otstraining.
Please contact Audrey Cutler, Senior Instructional Designer, at acutler@towson.edu with any questions.
