Training Faculty: Teaching Goals vs. Tech Tools – Finding a Balance

Published: 26 October 2019 Publication History

Abstract

Faculty often ask us about specific technologies to use in their teaching; however, context to their teaching goals might suggest use of a different technological tool, or suggestions for specific settings to a tool. Additionally, research has shown that faculty expect and want technology support, not support in their teaching and pedagogy. Our goal in supporting faculty in their instruction would be to educate them about the tools, but also guide them to the right tools for their specific teaching needs. When training faculty about the tools available to them, how do we find a balance between pedagogical support and strict technology overload? How can we offer them the technology training they want, along with the guided support toward best practices in teaching and learning with technology? This session will cover how different schools provide different types of training in technology tools for faculty and how each finds the balance between teaching and technology.
