Technology Enhanced Learning

From PowerPoint presentations to movie creations, students use technology to enhance their learning experience; students in the Psychology classes wrote and illustrated an electronic book to explain to children the symptoms and causes of common illnesses within their age group; a class that traveled to Portugal over January term created a Google Maps mashup of sites from Lisben as their final project; students in the Honors classes have put ancient texts online for our academic resource center.

All of our classrooms are enhanced with projectors and video and sound capabilities.  All classrooms provide wireless network and Internet access.

Our professors utilize a course management system, called eLearn.  This provides a place for faculty to post assignments, grades, office hours, and the course syllabus. eLearn also provides online guided discussions, quizzes, and a digital drop box for posting homework assignments.

All students have the opportunity to install Mathematica for math classes, SPSS for statistics, and other discipline specific software.
