This PowerPoint was used in a short presentation given to Fordham's Faculty Forum on Teaching and Technology this week. I will be adding audio to the slideshow shortly. The Faculty Forum on Teaching and Technology is a collaborative work of Instructional Technology Academic Computing and the Faculty Senate Technology Committee’s Sub-Committee on Distance Learning. It was formed for the purpose of facilitating an informal forum for Fordham Faculty interested in sharing, discovering and exchanging insights and ideas for: - Using instructional technologies in the classrooms - Enhancing courses with on-line resources - Teaching on-line at Fordham - On-line pedagogy and practice see the blog entry for more information about the event: http://itac.edublogs.org/2009/05/15/faculty-fordham-spr-09/
