by derek bruff, cft acting director<\/em><\/p>\n in my last post<\/a>, i shared some highlights from the first hour of our discussion of changing technologies at the cft’s 25th anniversary symposium earlier this month. the discussion raised several challenges in responding to our changing technological world, including: meeting student expectations for technology use in higher education, using educational technology that reflects our institutional values, teaching students to be critical consumers of online information, and providing faculty with the tech support they need to implement new technologies in their teaching.<\/p>\n in the second hour of the discussion, we moved from exploring challenges to suggesting strategies for addressing those challenges.\u00a0 here are some interesting observations and bright ideas:<\/a><\/p>\n what’s next from the 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分 on this topic? on october 27th, we’re hosting a conversation among faculty and students about student expectations for academic technology<\/a>. you’re invited to join us for that discussion, which promises to be a rich one. also this fall, we’re hoping to work with some campus partners to host other conversations aimed at helping us better understand the ways that students learn through technology outside of the classroom. if you’d like to be involved in these conversations, please let us know<\/a>.<\/p>\n i found it fascinating how the one student in our breakout discussion described the ways she uses technology, and i believe that if we gather more student perspectives on this topic, we’ll be in a better position to respond to the challenges raised at the symposium. i hope you’ll join us in this work.<\/p>\n\n
