UMD Tech Camp 16: Spring 2013

This camp will lay the groundwork for designing and teaching courses using technological tools that lend themselves to online teaching and learning. It will provide faculty participants with enough and varied experience to comfortably bring technology to bear on academic courses they teach. This particular Tech Camp will emphasize both the pedagogical approach and technology tools for online course instruction.

Objectives

Participants will:

  1. produce a complete framework for their course based upon individual teaching styles
  2. create an object which illustrates multiple strengths and weaknesses for the various instruction modes
  3. submit an object reflecting their thoughts and/or feelings regarding the relative strengths and weaknesses for the various instruction modes
  4. complete an evaluation of their course using an approved checklist
  5. create an activity aligned with course outcome(s) that can be assessed in multiple methods
  6. submit an object reflecting their thoughts and/or feelings regarding multiple methods of assessment
  7. attain fluency in employing technological terms relevant to this experience
  8. select appropriate technology tools and resources needed to accomplish course objectives
  9. apply technology tools and resources needed to reach course objectives
  10. identify 5 of 7 criteria used to initially create a sense of community
