2008 FITS Summer Workshop
Contributed by Lynda LaRoche, FITS Specialist & Moodle Support Coordinator
FITS is accepting proposals for the 10th annual summer workshop to be held May 27-30 and June 2, 2008.
As in the past, the workshop offers a series of plenary sessions, discussion groups, and mini-courses. Participants will have plenty of time to work on projects and receive one-on-one help from instructional technologists. In addition, facilities will be available for practice and for discussion groups. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a good start on a sustainable course or research project.
This is an opportune time for you to:
- Prepare a Moodle course site
- Integrate GIS into your curriculum
- Learn about digital assessment of assignments
- Leverage the Web (such as RSS, YouTube, micro-blogging, Facebook, etc.)
- Use visual objects (not only displaying them, but also using them to enhance your course goals)
- Plus, many other project possibilities
To register online, please browse to http://moodle.depauw.edu/mod/feedback/view.php?id=16253username=guest and complete the application by Tuesday April 22 (Note: Due to faculty requests this has been extended from the original April 18th deadline.) Sample proposals can be found online at http://www.depauw.edu/univ/fits/workshop/.
If you would like to consult with a FITS staff member prior to submitting a proposal, please feel free to contact us (Tom Dickinson, Michael Gough, Lynda LaRoche, Veronica Pejril, Carol Smith, and Beth Wilkerson).
