Session Type: Afternoon Seminar
In 2006, George Mason University began a strategic redesign of its award-winning Technology Across the Curriculum (TAC) program. Started in 1998, the program achieved great success in integrating technology fluency training into academic curricula at the university and in preparing students to understand and effectively use information technologies. With the growth in the use of new tools such as social software, Web 2.0 applications, and games, and with the changing technology skills of the student body, a new and innovative approach was required.
In this workshop, we will introduce participants to the strategic planning method used in the redesign of the TAC program. We will discuss the pioneering approach we developed to encourage student acquisition of technology concepts and skills and understanding of the impact of technology. Participants will leave with tools and approaches they can use to strategically redesign technology and learning programs at their own institutions.
