General Information

To better enable Arts and Humanities faculty (or faculty/graduate student teams) to reach their instructional and research goals, the College is offering a new technology training program. Faculty will have the opportunity to participate in a week of training and development, during which faculty will focus on an individual content track which will then be supported throughout the academic year with electives and office-hours.

Who Can Participate

Faculty in the College of Arts and Humanities are invited to participate in the STaR program. We restrict class size to 10 participants so that you will receive the support needed to not only gain skills but to complete work for an upcoming course. Graduate Students may participate if a faculty-partner participates with them. Please contact us for more information on this option.

Content Tracks
More than Just Text Online: Creating an Interactive Course Website

Resource Page
This seminar will focus on how technology enables the teaching and learning process. Using your course syllabus as a starting point, we will work to match technology solutions to needs identified in your course goals and objectives. We will also explore ways in which the use of technology can enhance a challenging concept or idea for students to comprehend. We will work through the process of creating a course website that addresses these teaching and learning goals by including interactive components, media elements and content resources.

Using Multimedia to Support Research Methodology
This seminar will explore the uses of multimedia in documenting and conducting research. Whether your research methodology includes interviews with experts, field observations or high quality images, multimedia tools such as digital video, digital audio or image editing can complement the archival and/or presentation of your work.
