Our
Mission: Technology in
Teaching
The Chapman Futures Project Team is committed to integrating
technology into our teaching to increase our efficiency, our
reach, and our effectiveness. To this end, the Project is
designed to
-
Enhance faculty development and communication across
disciplines which will in turn lead to curricular
development
-
Make more efficient use of institutional resources,
especially time, through intensive use of technology
-
Integrate technology into the curriculum to improve
communication among students and students and faculty,
resulting in increased interactive learning
The Futures
Project Team
To accomplish our goals, this project
has the support of the Chapman University administration and of
23 faculty members who have volunteered to take the lead in
exploring, sharing and learning about how technology has and will
transform teaching.
Faculty involved represent every major
school and unit at Chapman as well as its off-site Academic
Centers. Teaching projects will span a wide range of interests
and uses, from Web design and research to incorporating CD-ROM
technology in the classroom. Each faculty member will also mentor
two other faculty members to further disseminate what we learn.
