Teaching with Computers at AUB: What’s New?

Dr. Rosângela Silva (ACC)

PowerPoint Presentation


WebCT Supported Courses: Design and Development Issues
Ms. Randa Salamoun Sioufi (SOSB)
“The purpose of this presentation is to introduce the use of WebCT in general, to focus on how I use WebCT to provide my students with a unique workspace where I give them an access to all tools and resources that they need for the course, and to show how I use WebCT to support class sessions. 
This personal experience will show how the use of technology in teaching can 1) enrich the learning experience for both students and faculty and 2) facilitate the administrative and mundane tasks that are unavoidable and that become particularly time consuming for large classes.”

PowerPoint Presentation


WebCT as an Aid in Accreditation - Dr. Ayman I. Kayssi (FEA)
"
The presentation will focus on how WebCT can be used to develop course files and documentation required for accreditation, in addition to collecting feedback from students and instructor on course outcomes.”

Alternate Ways of Learning: Using WebCT and Digital Technology to Encourage Student Participation
Dr. Karen Pinto (FAS)
“In this presentation I will show how the use of WebCT encourages self-learning through active online discussion and participation.  One of the biggest problems we face in CVSP courses is getting students to actually read the assigned texts.  Another problem is convincing students that they can think for themselves instead of relying on cheat sheets and other people's notes.  Contrary to popular thinking, WebCT actually mitigates cheating.  In fact, with encouragement and special incentives, discussion boards enable students to blossom and realize their own potential.  There is no better way to encourage the love of learning than to show students how much fun it is to wrestle with ideas.”

Presentation (htm and PPT)


New Approaches for Communicating Ideas in Learning Environments - Dr. Roman Kulchitsky (FAS)
“The presentation will focus on the Solis Initiative and my use of hypertext technology in the classroom.  My intent is to highlight how videoconferencing and hypertext technologies can support a course taught in the classic German or British university sense of an intense, semi-public articulation.”
