Technology: The Unifier in a Multi-disciplinary Environment
Presenter(s): Ellen A. Watts, Tsoi/Kobus & Associates Inc; Kimberly Wright, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
Convener: Mary Doyle, Washington State University

Almost every educational project in planning today uses technology as a means to integrate multiple departments. More and more facilities are designed as integrated learning centers. This session will discuss this new trend and the role of technology in innovative teaching and research facilities. In addition, as instruction evolves from standard lecture formats, new pedagogy is demanding new types of spaces. The development of case-based teaching methods and the introduction of experiential learning into curricula have molded new teaching environments, which are aided by advances in technology.


This knowledge resource from SCUP is a concurrent session presented at the Society's thirty-eighth annual, international conference and Expo, SCUP–38, in Miami Beach, FL (USA), in July of 2003.

Audiocassettes and MP3's (on CD's) of these and other SCUP–38 sessions are available for purchase here.
