Utilizing START for Class Technology Projects
Contributed by Michael Gough, Instructional Technologist and Coordinator of START
Student Technology Assessment and Resources Training (START) offers more than just technology support for students. It also offers customized training sessions for your students on various course projects that use technology.
For large projects, we encourage interested faculty members to contact us well in advance to allow enough time to put together a project team that can provide the best possible support. A model team would consist of the instructor who provides their learning goals and objectives and serves as the content expert, a technologist whose expertise aligns with the technology that will be used, support staff who, along with conducting workshops, offer open lab times to support students with technical questions should they have any. Depending on the scope of the projects, built in check points and regular team meetings might be set up to confirm that we are on target to meet the learning objectives of the projects and to evaluate the effectiveness of the support and training sessions.
If you have a technology driven projected planed for one of your classes and would like a dedicated workshop and support team, please contact start@depauw.edu to set up a consultation.
