| 2002 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 2002.
The Summer2002 workshop
web pages, as well as those from the Summer01
, Summer00 ,
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
.

Workshop
1: Teaching and Technology: How and Why
What you learn:
We begin by learning to publish a web page using Netscape Composer 4.6.
Participants will then critically examine existing course sites in their
fields and become familiar with the basic features of course site layout
and development. What you create: A hypertext version
of your own course syllabus and a plan for a course site to be implemented
in Workshop 2. |

2: Teaching and Technology: Building your Course Site
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 web page 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 course site with a link to your online syllabus. |

Course
What you learn:
Participants will develop strategies to manage their web-enhanced courses
and increase critical use of the internet. We will assess the advantages
and disadvantages of integrating the web into the classroom. 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

What you learn:
In this workshop, participants will learn ways in which the internet can
enhance their professional development through effective online grant searching,
teaching portfolios and professional web pages. Participants will
also work through a tutorial which will enable them to identify currently
available grant opportunities specific to their academic fields. What
you create: A "professional" web page with links to your cv and a list
of field-specific grant opportunities. |

Workshop
5: Trends in Distributed Learning and Online Lecture Opportunities
What you learn:
In this final workshop we will identify new ways to reach learning communities
beyond the classroom: life-long learners, alumni, and others beyond
the traditional campus. We will consider the pedagogical, technical, and
institutional issues that arise from using the web to distribute research
and teaching materials and create educational experiences. What
you create: A proposal for an interactive multimedia project
that you could develop in the future either to enhance a course or to present
your own research. |
