Technology and Learning an Interactive Consideration of How Technology Can Enhance the Core Mission of our College--- i.e. Student Learning

Purpose To get YOU thinking How will students and faculty be using computers?

FIRST YEAR SEMINAR The Economists’ Way of Thinking A Course Required of All Freshmen Let’s start by thinking about one course, mine.

COURSE OBJECTIVES 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

Learning is enhanced by- Collaboration among Learners Frequent student/faculty dialogue Prompt Feedback Application of Theory Student Self Initiatives Trustful relations Personal & Individual Teaching

Results: Compared to Other First Year Courses MoreSameLess How much did you learn?2/31/3-- How much time did you spend?--2/31/3 How much did you enjoy the course?3/3---- the results are rewarding

Faculty Survey Results from Wake Forest ===83% say “computers are effective for communicating with students about class related work ===91% say “computers are effective for communicating with faculty colleagues

Student Survey Results from Wake Forest ===72% say “computers are effective for communicating with other students about class related work” ===84% say “computers are effective for communicating with faculty about class related work” ===53% interact more with faculty, up from 32%

The paradigm shift is the increase in team learning, in collaboration as the standard method for study and work It is not computers! Computers are means only.

New Tools for Collaboration enabled by the computer Shared Databases (Course File) Indexed Databases (URLs) Threaded Interactive Conversations ( )

Positioning for the Future What are your institution’s strengths & weaknesses How do you determine your place in an electronic world? What will be your primary student markets--program areas? Degree credit? Geographic span? Age? What are the appropriate delivery technologies next year? 5 years? Etc? What is a realistic staffing plan? Outsourcing? Support personnel? Executive leadership? What institutional partnerships make sense?
