\u201cnew approaches in learning methods and educational technologies add value to higher education\u2019s learning environment and help expand the visibility of vanderbilt\u2019s excellent teaching and research around the world. the focus of the schmidt family annual educational technologies lectureship is to explore advances in digital learning and their applicability to innovation and practice in the 瑞士vs喀麦隆走地 school of engineering,\u201d said doug schmidt<\/strong>, who with his parents, retired navy capt. raymond p. schmidt and roberta r. schmidt, created the lectureship.<\/p>\n

\u201cnew technology is already rapidly changing the landscape of higher education, but we simply don\u2019t know where this is leading. we\u2019re grateful to the schmidt family for creating a lectureship that will expose students, faculty, and the community to speakers with differing views about how emerging technologies will impact teaching and learning,\u201d said philippe fauchet<\/strong>, dean of the school of engineering.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
