LVAIC, in partnership with the Teagle Foundation, will host a one-day conference. This event will include a series of short “lightning round” talks (no more than 5- to 10-minutes each) and “hands-on workshops.” The lightning round talks will focus on the pedagogical purposes of various digital tools that have been used to enhance teaching and learning (rather than on the mechanics of the tool itself). The “hands-on workshops” will give participants the opportunity to try new tools, discuss potential pedagogical benefits of using those tools, and strategize about integrating such tools into their courses.
Thursday, May 23, 2019, 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM
DeSales University - Gambet Center
1. Faculty members interested in integrating digital tools into their courses will learn about
(a) pedagogical motivations for incorporating digital tools into courses in ways that align with teaching and learning goals; (b) the potential benefits of a wide range of digital tools; (c) constraints, such as time and cost, of choosing particular tools; (d) likely implementation challenges and receptivity of students.
2. Faculty members, instructional technologists, and librarians will share learning across institutions and bring new ideas back to their home campuses.
