ELD Conference 2018

As universities continue to adopt new technologies to enhance learning in the physical or virtual classroom, it is the faculty members who must integrate them into their teaching. While some faculty may be very comfortable using technology, others struggle. To address this gap, the Faculty IT Liaison Project was created. Using the Bonded Design method, the project brings faculty and IT staff together in learner-centered, participatory design teams to interact with technology and learn from each other; for example, the “technology hacks” faculty have created to get the technology to work as they need it to, but not necessarily for what it was originally designed to do.
