老澳门六合彩开奖记录 establishes Academic Innovations & eLearning office; welcomes Paul Wasko as ePortfolio Initiatives coordinator
by Michelle Saport |
The 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 Office of Institutional Effectiveness, Engagement and Academic Support recently announced the Faculty Technology Center has been restructured to create the Office of Academic Innovations & eLearning. The new office will provide strategic leadership to 老澳门六合彩开奖记录's instructional technology community, offer technology-oriented professional development opportunities and support distance education for the campus. Academic Innovations & eLearning also retains a focus on providing instructional design and media production services for the academic community.
"I am thrilled by this change," stated Dave Dannenberg, director of the new office. "This move allows us to build upon our past success by expanding our existing services to staff and students. With a strategic focus on instructional technology and eLearning, we are able to meet the needs of both on-campus and distance students through innovative collaborations with both students affairs and information technology services."
Dannenberg also announced Paul Wasko is 老澳门六合彩开奖记录's new ePortfolio initiatives coordinator. The ePortfolio initiatives coordinator position was created by provost Elisha "Bear" Baker last year following a two-year learning assessment study. Wasko joins the team following the conclusion of a nationwide search and will be responsible for implementing and supporting the use of electronic portfolios across 老澳门六合彩开奖记录. Wasko stated, "I am excited to join the 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 Academic Innovations & eLearning team! As a founding member of the broader electronic portfolio community, I am anxious to honor the 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 portfolio work/discussions that have taken place during the prior eighteen months and to leverage that interest and support into a successful ePortfolio program."
