The Summer98 Web Workshops are designed for graduate students in the School
of Art & Sciences.
If you are interested in participating in the workshops please contact the
Graduate School of Arts
& Sciences.
These workshops were created on a PC platform using Netscape Communicator
4.05 and Microsoft Word 97. Most of the workshop content, however, is not
software specific and should be of use to users from a variety of platforms.

Summer98 Web Workshops
The goal of these
workshops is to familiarize graduate students in Arts and Sciences with strategies
for enhancing learning through technology. Participants will most benefit
from these workshops if they are able to apply the approaches discussed to
a specific course, i.e. one they have either taught before or will be teaching
in the near future.
This series
of five workshops has been developed by the
Washington University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences
, in cooperation with the
Teaching Center
and the Arts and Sciences Computing
Center
, and conducted on campus in the Summer of 1998. These workshops
benefited from the
TA Committee's study
of skills needed by TA's to integrate technology in teaching 1997-98.
The Summer98
workshop web pages, as well as those from the
Summer97 workshops
, can be used as tools for independent study. Please feel free to use
these pages for your professional development and in your own teaching, with
the condition that Washington University
Graduate School of Arts and Sciences
be informed and the course development team be
credited
.
