Instructional Software in Teaching Theaters
Applications developed by Teaching Technologies
The following applications have been developed by the Teaching
Technologies staff to provide tools to enhance the collaborative
learning environment available in the Teaching Theaters:
FeedBack MeterTM
One Minute PaperTM
MultiChatTM
Class DirectoryTM
Commercial Applications
Some commercial applications are used in the Teaching Theaters as
additional collaborative tools. In some instances, using the commercial
tools in conjunction with the network provides the level of
collaboration needed by the instructor.
VisionQuest®
Uses of Standard Windows Applications
Many very useful capabilities are provided through standard Windows applications
placed in several different Windows. The main window is read-only by everyone;
the class-specific window is read-only by everyone; the instructor's window
is writable by the instructor but read-only by the students; and each student's
personal window is writable. Some examples are:
- The instructor can drag notepad into the instructor's window
and have it point to the class syllabus, homework assignments, supplemental
reading lists, example questions, or other useful information.
- Paintbrush can be similarly to point to images.
