at the 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分, we regularly consult with faculty and graduate student instructors on ways to use technology to meet their teaching and learning objectives.\u00a0 although technology use should always be driven by pedagogical priorities, sometimes instructors learn about particular technologies and want to explore ways those technologies might fit their teaching needs.\u00a0 this fall, the cft is launching three working groups to explore technologies we know have applications across the curriculum.<\/p>\n
collaborative timelines<\/strong> \u2013 interested in having students build online, collaborative timelines?\u00a0 tools like tiki-toki<\/a> and timelinejs<\/a> can be used to create interactive, multimedia timelines that can be shared and analyzed by students.\u00a0 this working group will explore tools for building timelines and assignments that leverage timelines.\u00a0 we\u2019ll look at options this fall, and pilot timeline-based assignments in fall or spring courses.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n bring-your-own-device (byod) response systems<\/strong> \u2013 in-class polling applications like poll everywhere<\/a> or top hat<\/a> use students\u2019 mobile devices (phones, laptops, tablets) to help them engage with content and each other.\u00a0 a number of such systems are in use around vanderbilt today.\u00a0 this working group will help determine if there is a single system that vanderbilt can support campus-wide, perhaps as early as the spring semester.<\/p>\n course blogs <\/strong>\u2013 our third group will focus on the use of blogs in teaching, particularly course blogs in which students write for each other or for the open web.\u00a0 the group will consider the use of wordpress as a blogging platform, with the goal of making vanderbilt\u2019s wordpress platform, my.vanderbilt.edu<\/a>, a more robust option for instructors by the start of the spring semester.<\/p>\n
