  • Student Fellows Lead

What is the TTAP program and who are the Student Fellows you work with?
The TTAP Program is, "Teaching Technology Assistance Program" which is a new initiative through ASSETT which pairs a faculty member with a Student Fellow who provides support in order for the instructor to try out new technology in their teaching. 

The Student Fellows are undergraduate students who were hired because of their enthusiasm for helping others learn new technologies. They help improve Arts and Sciences classrooms by providing technology support. 

What is the value of the TTAP program for faculty? 

The TTAP program can be very valuable for faculty because it gives them more tools to use in their classroom. This is an important step to maximize the learning for their students. 

What is the potential impact of the TTAP program on undergraduate students’ academic success?

The potential impact of the TTAP program is that it could help students access the material in different ways, for different learning styles. This program aims to remove any barriers related to technology, and will hopefully contribute to their academic success. 

What is the faculty profile that would benefit from reaching out to TTAP for a Student Fellow?

The faculty that could benefit from the TTAP program and Student Fellows are those who are looking for different ways of presenting their material, and who are open to new ways of thinking.

What technology are you curious about learning next?

I am interesting in learning more about Word Press as a way to blog.
