2. (12) Technology is used as a tool to achieve learning outcomes in delivering course content.

Not Observed      Insufficient      Moderate Use      Meets Criterion Completely

The School of Library and Information Science offers programs that are 100% online. Because of this exclusively online environment, technology is a critical tool in achieving outcomes in delivering course content.

The School provides access, training, and support for a number of technology tools. The following examples are linked to resources faculty members can access in order to learn to use these tools effectively:

Desire2Learn (D2L) Learning Management System (requires login)
Faculty Guide to Using Collaborate (web conferencing)
Blackboard IM
Panopto (lecture recording)

The School not only provides training and adoption support through administrative and staff work, but it also promotes continual sharing among faculty about tools they are using and their best practices. The annual Faculty Institute and Tech Tips blog are two examples of venues where faculty ideas about effective use of technology for teaching are shared.
