Innovations in Education

I have previewed the Internet TV show launced by Teaching, Learning + Technology (TLT) at Stony Brook University called "Innovations in Education." It features Stony Brook faculty and staff using innovative approaches and best practices in teaching, and applications of educational technology that have had a positive effect on student learning. Interviews are 15-30 minutes long and focus primarily on faculty members. Video and pictures of the application of the innovation or best practice are included in each show where possible. The interviews are intended to provide a balanced look at both the benefits and challanges of adopting a particular approach to teaching and learning and should be useful to faculty and faculty developers at any campus.

To watch the shows you only need to go to the following URL and click on the episode on the left-hand column. To view the episode you selected you need to scroll down to "Watch the Show" and pick your preferred media tool. I found the Quicktime stream to be the best at quickly downloading and viewing: https://tlt.stonybrook.edu/FacultyServices/FacDev/TVShow/

Please feel free to forward this information to anyone, anywhere, who might benefit from this project. Comments, suggestions and feedback on the utility of this approach and the show's content would be appreciated by Graham Graham Glynn Ph.D. Assistant Provost & Executive Director, Teaching, Learning and Technology S-1464 Melville Library Stony Brook University Stony Brook, NY 11794-3350 Voice: (631) 632-2775 Fax: (631) 632-2567 E-mail: Graham.Glynn@StonyBrook.edu https://tlt.stonybrook.edu
