Summer Boot Camp and Digital Buffet!

It's been about a month since our second summer Technology Boot Camp.

The first year it was heavily focused on technology but this summer the focus was equally pedagogy and course design along with technology. Our partnership with the Ellbogen Center for Teaching and Learning also caused a change of name to the John P. Ellbogen Blended Learning Summer Institute.

With the extra funding available from this partnership we were able to bring in a blended learning expert, Brad Garner, Indiana Wesleyan University.

Faculty applied for the opportunity to participate in March and were awarded $500 in professional development funds at the completion of the project. 30 faculty were accepted and spent four days learning how to "flip" their classroom.

One of the most valuable resources that was created during this event was the Digital Buffet of technologies and ideas. http://www.uwyo.edu/outreach/ocp/instructional-support/tie/digitalbuffet.html
