Roundtable Session Abstract:
Technology is changing how we recruit, admit, administer, advise and teach students as they progress through their academic journeys. Faculty and administrators are increasingly challenged to seek innovative uses of technology inside and outside of the classroom in all areas of higher education. Join us to share ideas, experiments, and insights as we seek to learn best practices from others. The facilitators will share their work with virtual advising of new students via YouTube, online portfolios for college seniors, and online teaching, and prompt discussion through a series of questions for participants.

What makes your presentation participatory or interactive?
The facilitators will share what they are doing with technology to teach and advise students and invite roundtable participants to share their uses of technology and advise to others. We will have a series of discussion prompts to ensure discussion invites all participants to speak and addresses a range of issues related to effective and ineffective uses of technology in the classroom and administrative settings.
What makes your presentation appropriate for a broad audience?
Faculty in all disciplines and administrative roles are increasingly challenged to use technology in new and innovative ways.
How do you hope participants will be changed by your session? What will they know or be able to do as a result?
Participants will come away with ideas for teaching techniques, assignments, virtual advising, and student communication, and will learn from what’s working and what’s not working at others’ institutions.
