Working
Connections IT Faculty Development Institute Closes the IT Instructional Gap
What's the biggest challenge for colleges wanting to provide state-of-the art
instruction in information technology? Keeping up with industry! Learn about a
new and affordable summer peer-to-peer professional development program
beginning in 10 states in 2003, and about how it can help narrow the 18- to
24-month gap between new technology adoption and its introduction into academic
curriculum. Session participants leave with concrete procedures for implementing
a Working Connections IT Faculty Development Institute at their home
institutions.
