The next session of the Computers, Teaching and Course (Re)Design Seminar will be held on Thursday, March 18th, at the Sheridan Center for Teaching & Learning (96 Waterman Street), from noon until 1:30 p.m. Our guest will be Dr. Carol Twigg, who will lead a discussion entitled "Technology and Course Redesign". Dr. Twigg is the Executive Director of the Center for Academic Transformation, at RPI, and as head of the Pew Grant Program in Course Redesign (1999-2002) she is uniquely qualified to discuss the possibilities and lessons learned from innovative attempts to use technology as an engine for reform at the undergraduate level. In addition to her presentation at the CTCR Seminar at noon, Dr. Twigg will deliver a lecture at 4:30 p.m., in 001 Solomon, as part of the Sheridan Center Teaching Forum series. That lecture is open to the entire Brown community.
Background Reading for Dr. Twigg's Talks
The CTCR Seminar is hosted by the Senior Fellow for Teaching and Technology at Brown, Roger Blumberg of the Department of Computer Science, and focuses on the ways that higher education faculty across the country are using digital technologies and networked computing to rethink teaching, course and curriculum design, as well as the undergraduate academic experience at liberal arts institutions similar to Brown. Information about the Seminar, including schedules, session descriptions, archived materials, and links to background readings will be available at this site throughout the year.
