Summer Institute
What is the Summer Institute?
The Teaching and Learning with Technology Summer Institute is a way for faculty to learn about instructional technology tools and techniques that can be used to support teaching and learning at NC State. Faculty members will learn about supported technologies and resources available to them on campus as well as specific technical skills that will facilitate the creation and publication of web-enhanced materials. Faculty members will have the opportunity to discern what tools and techniques work best in their own contexts.
By the completion of the Summer Institute, participants will have the knowledge and skills needed to begin creating a web-enhanced or online course. In addition, participants will be aware of other emerging instructional technologies used to support instruction, and will better understand the issues involved in utilizing technology to support teaching and learning.
What does the Institute Offer?
- A collegial environment for exploring online teaching and learning
- Workshops and opportunities for personalized consultations in instructional design, HTML and graphics editors, video/audio digitizing and streaming, and learning management systems
- Free web development software (Adobe Creative Suite)
- Lunchtime speakers and panels
- Lunch and breaktime snacks each day
- Choice of morning or afternoon training sessions
