Back to the Classroom and Integrating Technology

Here at Harrisburg Area Community College (HACC), my job is to provide consulting and training for Faculty who want to incorporate technology into their classrooms. Our Fall semester began on August 20, and we see students arriving on campus, expecting to see technology in place in the classroom. Whether it be offering enhanced or blended courses using Blackboard or supplementing learning with Podcasts, Faculty are being reminded by students that they want to have access to the technology. For the workshops that I provide, I've created learning content with Camtasia and posted it to our CMS, and the feedback is always positive. The opportunity to access content when and where the learner needs it is the new expectation in the learning environment.
