LRC 791 - Preceptorship in LRC 320

Dr. J. David Betts

Course Description​ - Student Technology Preceptors (STPs) are students trained in the use of technology to

support instruction. They receive academic credit for attending regular workshops to develop technology and people skills and for assisting faculty with their technology needs. This program offers participating students training and experience in the use of instructional technology. It offers faculty ready access to students with the expertise to help them bring technology to their classes more efficiently and effectively than they could on their own.

 

Learning Objectives - The major objective for this course was to assist Dr. Betts in creating a graphical navigation page in Desire2Learn (D2L) that takes students to an interactive learning environment in the fully online course - LRC 320.  Another objective was to create and facilitate one module in LRC 320 - Teaching with New Technologies.
