Book description
How should I use technology in my courses? What impact does
technology have on student learning? Is distance learning effective?
Should I give online tests and, if so, how can I be sure of the
integrity of the students' work? These are some of the questions that
instructors raise as technology becomes an integral part of the
educational experience. In Quick Hits for Teaching with Technology,
award-winning instructors representing a wide range of academic
disciplines describe their strategies for employing technology to
achieve learning objectives. They include tips on using just-in-time
teaching, wikis, clickers, YouTube, blogging, and GIS, to name just a
few. An accompanying interactive website enhances the value of this
innovative tool.
"If [this book] encourages you to try something new, change
what you are doing, evaluate in a different way, or develop a
departmental collection of teaching ideas, then that alone will make
it worth it." -Journal of Pedagogic Development
