Layered Approaches to Educational Technology
- This case study provides a glimpse of the layered approaches to university-wide educational technology training and course development (including online and blended course development) instituted at Western Washington University.
- The array of opportunities for faculty professional development at WWU span formal campus-wide training to spontaneous peer-to-peer mentoring, crossing institutional layers to support integrated technology.
- On-demand help or impromptu sharing of information led to unexpected learning and the exploration of another technology, supplementing more formal workshops and training.
- Modeled after open gyms, themed open computer labs staffed with experts allowed individuals to drop in during a two-hour window and receive answers to their specific questions.
