Speaker
Harry R. Matthews, Professor, Biological Chemistry and
Director, Instructional Technology & Digital Media Center at
UC Davis
The University of California is preparing for an enormous
enrollment increase in the coming decade. The use of technology
in combination with changes in teaching strategies can be part
of a solution to teach greater number of students. But can this
be done without compromising quality of instruction?
Over the next several faculty fora, we will be examining several
ways in which instructors are using technology as a tool to
teach large numbers of students. Professor Matthews will
describe and show how UC Davis is transforming large
general-education courses in a cost-effective way that maintains
high academic standards in the face of rising student
enrollments. Included in the session will be specifics
concerning program evaluation by a multi-disciplinary group of
faculty and staff funded by the Mellon Foundation.
