Innovations in Education
Dr. Larry Ragan is the Director of Faculty Development at Penn State’s World Campus. Larry discusses the skills that faculty need to teach well in online and blended courses, how to select appropriate content for each delivery mode and the relative strengths and weaknesses of each. The role of instructional design an...d other support staff in helping faculty be successful teachers online and in the classroom is also covered.
Larry talks about techniques used to create healthy interactions between faculty and students in the online environment and how reflecting on learning and can impact the learning process. Larry also covers his current area of research on competencies for online teaching success (COTS). He talks about the most important skills that are needed; understanding how teaching and learning occur in an online course, understanding the operational mechanics such as submitting grades online, and technology aptitude.

Mr. Lekacos is Director of Graduate Education in the College of Business at Stony Brook. Some of the M.Ba. courses are delivered in a blended mode, part face-to-face and part online using synchronous technology. Face to face time is used for team activities and collaboration. Art discusses how he uses browser based... video conferencing to synchronously deliver short lectures to students in the program. The lectures are recorded and added to an archive posted within Blackboard for review by the students or for viewing by students unable to attend at the scheduled time. Art also uses the system to bring experts in the field into his classroom and for student teams to work remotely on business analysis problems. He also uses the system to teach students in Korea.
Art also discusses his use of Adobe Captivate to create tutorials on software such as Microsoft Excel. He has found that the use of multimedia has in the opinion of his student’s added interest to the content. He is also motivated by the fact that he employs the technologies that students will need to use in the real world.
Art is joined by Jennifer Adams who provides information on getting set up with video recording and conferencing technologies at Stony Brook.
Innovations in Education Classroom technology – clickers, Classroom technology - lecture recording, Educational assessment - designEducational technology - Maple TAPedagogy - large lecture teachingPedagogy - lecturing
Innovations in Education Dr Engelmann teaches physics to life science students in a large lecture setting. This course has undergone major redesign with the aid of funding from a SUNY partnership with the national Center for Academic Transformation. He delivers his course content on CD which must be reviewed by the students before coming to ...class. Students must complete a quiz on the material prior to the class. Rod then uses the performance on the quiz and student email questions about the material do guide the discussion in the classroom. Rod was an early adopter of classroom response systems (clickers) which he uses extensively to pose questions to the students, to determine dynamically if the students are getting the concepts of the course and to deliver classroom quizzes. Rod also uses Maple TA, software that analyzes symbolic responses (the formula) to math problems, to deliver and grade homework online. He discusses the challenges and potential solutions to students being ill prepared in mathematics to take advanced physics courses. Attendance at lectures has increased significantly as a result of the modifications.

Innovations in Education Dr. Davidson has her students do writing assignments in class using computers to access the chat, wiki, blog and discussion features of Blackboard. She feels the technology increases collaboration and feedback, and promotes synergy among student writers. The dynamic audience feedback enabled by these tools makes the ...students more adept at responding to audience needs. In addition, the informal and public nature of the writing forces them to examine assumptions about audience knowledge and to write more broadly. She believes that the technology has faded into the background and the focus is on the writing. Revisions and drafts are easier to submit, grade and provide feedback on in electronic as opposed to paper submissions and plagiarism detection software makes it more likely that the work is unique. Dr. Davidson discusses scoring of blogs, wikis and discussion groups. She is joined by Andrea Doherty who covers the technical details and the relative strengths of the tools used by the writing program. The use of Facebook and other externally hosted applications is also discussed.
