Support for Teaching and Learning
Teaching and learning are simple words with substantial meaning. Academic excellence in teaching and learning is what each faculty member and student at Freed-Hardeman strive to achieve inside and outside of the classroom.
Innovation and Technology supports faculty and students as they employ pedagogical technologies with advanced facilities, technology resources, training, along with hands-on support.
Our mission is to encourage, promote and facilitate the innovative use of technology in faculty pedagogy and student learning. This is accomplished by working with our campus community, performing research, conducting pilot programs and testing new technologies in order to provide faculty and students the latest in knowledge and direction regarding the use of pedagogical technologies.
Teaching and Learning Resources
Two facilities have been developed by Instructional Technology in order to support and promote the innovative use of technology by our faculty and students - the Teaching and Learning Center and the Innovator’s Room.
The Teaching and Learning Center, located in Brown-Kopel Business Center (Room 332), serves as a resource for all faculty members who are interested in developing and incorporating technology into their pedagogy. This room contains different types of hardware and software which enable faculty members to improve upon their technological skills, develop course content and become innovative thinkers.
The Innovator’s Room located in the Brown-Kopel Business Center (Room 333), is specially equipped with integrated audio and video equipment that may be utilized to engage and challenge students in ways not possible in more traditional classrooms.
Training, directed by our experienced technologists, is conducted on a regular basis. Faculty are introduced to various technologies, reinforced with hands-on support which facilitates their technological growth as they work to incorporate these and other self-discovered technologies into their pedagogy.
