TT Course RequestsThe Academic
Support group of the Office of Information Technology is announcing a call
for requests for use of the Teaching Theaters for the Summer and Fall
2006 terms.
Requests for
the Summer and Fall 2006 term are due by
5:00 PM on November 30, 2005. Faculty who
are interested in utilizing the Teaching Theaters for part of their course
(such as one class meeting time a week instead of all class meeting times
each week) are encouraged to submit a request. Those
requesting a small number of sessions such as three to four times during
a semester are also encouraged to apply.
Submission
of requests is handled electronically.
Please read
the information below about what should be contained in your request before
proceeding.
Requests should
contain the following information:
1.The name,
course number, meeting time requirements, semester(s) involved, and approximate
size of the class. If this is not for an entire semester, for what period
of time. Please indicate how flexible you can be in meeting times.
2.Any special
needs you anticipate (software, support, external resources, etc.).
3.Your campus
address, phone number, and E-mail address.
4.Some courses
each semester are cut by departments due to funding. We are requesting
that you have your department email Walt Pasquini (wpasquin@umd.edu)
with a statement that the course will not be cut for lack of funding if
it is scheduled for a Teaching Theater. Lack of enrollment during registration
is not covered by this commitment.
Begin
Submission Process
Support
Faculty using
the Teaching Theaters can expect to have an experienced support person
available. A support program exists to assist faculty in preparing to use
the room. Extensive support is provided before and during the semester.
Faculty are expected to take part in orientation meetings.
Feedback
As part of our
on-going evaluation of the Teaching Theaters, we expect feedback from the
faculty at the end of the semester. Faculty will be asked to prepare a
one page reflection on their experience in the teaching theater at the
end of the semester which will be submitted to the Steering Committee.
Teaching
Assistants
We strongly
suggest that you have a TA for the course you will be teaching in the Teaching
Theaters. There is an undergraduate TA program available as a resource
for you. If you are interested, please contact Spencer Benson at 405-3154.
Your Teaching Assistant will be trained in the use of the facility, as
well as, the basic support for the teaching theater.
Research
We want to accommodate
diverse faculty needs and will make every effort, within our budget and
resources, to encourage and support faculty who use the room. We are proud
that the University of Maryland is a leader in this innovative collaborative
technology. We expect to conduct leading edge research in the use of technology
to improve the teaching and learning process.
Additional
Information
Additional information
can be obtained by contacting Walt Pasquini
