(Technology Utilization in Learning and Information
Platforms)
Program Description
Introduction
- This will be TULIP’s seventh year. TULIP summer seminars are designed to provide high quality professional development to CSUSM faculty to support and improve learning and teaching through use of technology. The TULIP program provides intensive, one-on-one training and peer mentoring for faculty members with a strong desire to use technology to enhance their teaching. We will help you to define the scope of your project, create development goals, and then help you learn the tools you need to realize your ambitions. The emphasis is on the individual faculty member and your particular needs, but the work is definitely a team effort with plenty of support throughout the development process.
Dates
- August 5-8 and 12-15, Monday through Thursday for two weeks. No Fridays as campus is closed for power savings. First day of classes for Fall 2002 semester is Tuesday, 3 September.
What kinds of projects are appropriate for TULIP?
- There are no restrictions on the kind of technologies used. These days, web-based projects are more common, as they allow for greater accessibility of the finished product. Projects should be more substantial than those for which IITS’ regularly scheduled training will suffice. For example, learning to create web pages with Microsoft Front Page is something that we offer classes for every semester. To see examples of previous successful TULIP projects, please go to:
How does TULIP work?
- Applications will be evaluated by a committee composed of Academic
Technology Services (ATS) staff members experienced with academic technology
projects, TULIP faculty mentors, and a sub-committee of the Teaching and
Learning Technology Roundtable Steering Committee (TLTR-SC). Those chosen will
be contacted for individual consultation regarding the scope, direction, and
timeline for their projects. The consultations will help us plan effectively
so we can be sure to have the right resources in place.
The consultations are also designed to help faculty participants prepare for the two weeks of intensive project development. Over the summer, participants will need to revise their plans and projects as a result of the consultations and to assemble raw materials for their projects. During this same time frame, TULIP support staff will assess the individual participant technology needs and formulate tutorial sessions that address these needs in small group sessions.
In August, TULIP participants will convene as a group and develop their projects, with support from IITS staff and faculty mentors. They will attend relevant group sessions, checking off milestones determined during the initial consultation.
At the end of TULIP, participants will share the results of their work with other TULIP participants. ATS staff will continue to work with participants to assist with implementation of the materials. Hopefully, most will be available for use in the Fall semester. Participants are required to showcase their projects for the campus community at the annual CSUSM Technology Fair in November.
