How Does Course Management Software Impact Teaching?
Thursday, February 3, 2005
Gateway facilitator: Samuel P. Clemence, Professor, Civil & Environmental Engineering

As more faculty use Blackboard and WebCT, we want to discuss how it impacts student learning and how it changes our teaching. In this session, several faculty members will talk about how they use this tool, the pedagogical questions that have arisen, and the innovations they have developed. We will conclude with a panel/discussion.

Applying Classroom Learning to Real World Problems
Wednesday, March 2, 2005
Gateway facilitator: Ivan Markov, School of Architecture
Guest Presenter: Deborah Allen, Associate Professor of Biological Sciences, University of Delaware

In problem-based learning (PBL), problems are used to motivate contextual learning on a need-to-know basis, rather than as checks of understanding following delivery of content by lecture or other means. Students in small groups work towards problem resolution by asking and answering their own and peers’ questions, using their collective skill at acquiring, analyzing, and communicating information. Participants will have the opportunity to experience PBL first hand, then share ideas about the potential rewards and drawbacks for transforming undergraduate courses to incorporate PBL.

Academic Integrity on the SU Campus
Wednesday, April 6, 2005
Gateway Facilitator: Elet Callahan, Whitman School of Management

Should Syracuse University adopt a university-wide policy for dealing with academic dishonesty? What policies, procedures, and practices would best facilitate upholding the highest ideals of academic integrity? Representatives from the Vice Chancellor & Provost's Committee on Academic Integrity (VPCAI) will report on their research, including survey results, and solicit input from faculty and students.
