Educational Technologies we are currently experimenting include but not limited to the following:

  • Tegrity – a lecture capture system that can capture instructor audio and any information presented through a computer, a laptop (including tablet), and peripheral devices such as a document camera. The resulting files would be available for student use via the web. Students can review the entire recorded course session, review certain chapters of the recording, or search and review a specific piece of information. This system is most beneficial for faculty who teach using a computer as a teaching tool to present information.
  • Adobe Connect Pro - a powerful web conferencing and e-learning tool. It allows you to conduct effective online meetings that support video, audio, screen sharing, application sharing, chat, notes and whiteboard. The meetings can also be recorded and edited. Most faculty use it to conduct online EI sessions and collaborate with colleagues at a distance.

  • Student Response System ("Clickers") - Studnet Response System is designed to promote classroom interaction and automatically grade quizzes and tests. Students use handheld "clickers" to respond to questions. The system compiles the answers and displays results in a histogram, keeping the students anonymous to each other yet revealing how the class is divided over the question.  The system can also be used to quickly administer daily reading quizzes or even tests which are graded automatically by the software.
