SUBJECT: 2012 Summer Institute: Increasing Student Engagement and Improving Learning with Educational Technologies
Have you ever wished that your classroom was more of an intellectual community?
Have you been amazed at the social communities that your students participate
in using Internet tools and wondered if they might be helpful in the classroom?
Have you been impressed at how students, and perhaps colleagues, have used
digital environments i.e. discussion boards, blogs, wiki's, and social
bookmarking/annotation tools, to name a few, to create engaging assignments? In
short, do you want to increase the participatory learning in your course, both
in and out of the classroom?
In this five-day Institute, facilitated by Mary Ann Shea, Director, Faculty
Teaching Excellence Program, http://www.colorado.edu/ftep/ and Professor Mike
Lightner, Chair, Electrical, Computer & Energy Engineering, participants will
explore these questions. You will have an opportunity to learn certain Web 2.0
tools, experience lecture capture, and practice with structured online
discussions as a means to make thinking visible. You will work within a
supportive learning community composed of your faculty colleagues in order to
develop new strategies for creating student learning communities in your
classrooms.
The 2012 Summer Institute is open to tenure track and instructor rank faculty.
Faculty who attend all five days will receive a $500 stipend. Enrollment is
limited to fifteen registrants. Preference will be given to faculty who
identify as teams from a single department and who have not participated
previously in an FTEP Summer Institute for Technology in the last five years.
Dates:
Monday, May 14, 2012 - Friday, May 18, 2012 from 8:30 am - 4:00 pm.
