eTeaching Days

Photo from eTeaching DayEach year, Instructional Design and eTeaching Services offers a day-long program modeling uses of technology in teaching and innovative technological solutions for pedagogical problems.  Instructors who have recently developed ebooks, web sites or similar resources are invited to demonstrate their projects at showcase events, and hands-on workshops give faculty members an opportunity to learn new software and other tools.  Over lunch, a nationally recognized leader in educational technology delivers a keynote address on new opportunities and developments in the world of eTeaching.
