February 4: TEL Seminar
Data-driven Applications in Teaching and Learning
402 Walter Library (East Bank) 12:00–1:30 p.m.
New technologies create new opportunities to engage students. Each year TEL Grant recipients focus their energy on creating learning applications that are innovative, support learning, and motivate students. At the heart of these new technologies is data, which can be used in many different ways to enhance teaching and learning. In many cases, databases make it possible for new educational technologies to be dynamic and interactive. Databases make it possible to collect, organize and present information in novel and engaging ways. Through the collection of Web site data instructors can learn more about students' learning styles and revise learning activities accordingly. Regardless of what data is used for, it is often employed to increase student engagement. Learn More.
