Web Workshops:
The goal of these workshops is to familiarize graduate students in Arts &
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 1999.
The Summer99
workshop web pages, as well as those from the
Summer98
and
Summer97
, 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
.
Course concept and development, Summer 1999 by Liberman Fellows: Gavin Foster,
Alyssa Lonner, James Marton, Sarah McGaughey, and Michael Orlando; Liz Peterson,
Associate Director of Teaching Center; and Elaine Berland, Associate Dean
of the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences.

Workshop 1: Teaching and Technology: how and why
What you
learn: Participants will develop technological skills and pedagogical
understanding to enable them to use technology to enhance learning in - and
beyond - the classroom. We begin by learning to publish a webpage using
Netscape Composer 4.5. Participants will then critically examine existing
coursesites in their fields and become familiar with the basic features of
coursesite layout and development. What you create: A
hypertext version of your own course syllabus and a plan for a coursesite
to be implemented in Workshop 2. |

Workshop 2: Teaching and Technology: building your coursesite
What you
learn: In this workshop participants will construct an online draft
of their course site as planned in Workshop 1. Participants will learn
the basic elements of webpage construction, including images, hypertext links,
and mailto buttons. Instructors will be on-hand to provide individualized
attention to technical and pedagogical questions. What you create
: A draft of your own coursesite with a link to your online syllabus. |

Workshop 3: Teaching and Technology: getting the most from your web-enhanced
course
What you
learn: Participants will develop strategies to manage their web-enhanced
courses and increase student interactivity. We will assess both the
advantages and disadvantages of integrating the web into the classroom.
Participants will draft a web exercise with consideration to developing active
web learners. The workshop will conclude with a discussion of some
of the copyright and security issues associated with making use of the web
in the classroom. What you create: A web-based exercise linked
to your coursesite. |

Workshop 4: Professional Development: distributed teaching and learning
What you
learn: In this workshop we will identify new ways to teach learning
communities beyond the classroom: distance learners, life-long learners,
alumni, and others. We will think about the pedagogical, technical and institutional
issues that arise from using the web to distribute teaching materials and
create learning experiences. What you create: A
draft of a proposal to produce a one-hour lecture to be distributed over the
web. |

Workshop 5: Using the Web Beyond the Classroom
What you
learn: In this final workshop, participants will consider ways
in which the internet may be of use to academic professionals outside the
classroom, including the advantages of an online cv and teaching portfolio.
Participants will also work through a tutorial which will enable them to
identify currently available grant opportunities specific to their academic
field. What you create: A "professional" webpage with links
to your cv and a list of field-specific grant opportunities. |
