Abstract

As digital technology becomes more widely integrated into the teaching and learning environment, particularly in distance learning, faculty members face new challenges. To thrive in this new teaching environment, faculty must simultaneously develop their pedagogical and technological skills. The process of technologically-based faculty development is often time consuming and difficult, especially for faculty who have less experience working with the nuances of instructional technology. To alleviate this problem at WPI, the Educational Technology Services team (ETS) was created as a functional workgroup under the Instructional Media Center. The mission of this group is to support and empower WPI faculty in the effective use of technology to enhance their teaching. Participants at this session will be presented with a summary of our faculty development model, along with tips and lessons learned in our first year.
