This
year SITT, Summer Institute On Technology in Teaching, will be offered from
July 21 through July 25. Morning sessions will be comprised of panel discussions,
demonstrations, and presentations focusing on innovations using technology
in teaching. We are pleased to have Dr. David Merrill, from Utah State University
speaking on “First Principles of Instruction”. Other morning
sessions will focus on making the web and classroom presentations accessible
for the disabled, demonstrating virtual laboratories, and showing scientific
simulations, which have been designed to present a difficult concept in
visual terms that are more accessible to students. Faculty will present
their successes developing hybrid courses. There will also be presentations
on concept mapping, designing for PowerPoint, and demonstrations of advanced
PowerPoint techniques that make a difficult, complex subject easier to understand.
The important area of assessment and evaluation of courses that include
technology will also be presented. The morning sessions will be presented
mostly by faculty who have worked on the specific projects. In the afternoons we will have hands-on labs that cover web site development, PowerPoint, MyUCDavis, and image manipulation for a variety of uses. Other, more specialized labs will be offered in response to participants’ requests during registration. |
