| 2000 Summer
Web Workshops:
The Summer Web Workshops are a Graduate School of Arts & Sciences initiative
designed to enhance the preparation of Arts & Sciences graduate students
as future faculty and professionals working in an increasingly technology-intensive
world. The Workshops will focus on using technology to enhance teaching
and learning. 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 is conducted on campus in the Summer of 2000.
The Summer2000
workshop web pages, as well as those from the
Summer99
,
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 2000 by Liberman Fellows: Susan Hays
Bussey, Mike Divine, Kamaal Haque, James Marton, and Sarah McGaughey; Liz
Peterson, Associate Director of Teaching Center; and Elaine Berland, Associate
Dean of the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences.
