Technology Mentor Program—Seeking
Faculty for Fall 2004!
The LITS technology mentor program is an initiative designed
to offer additional creative and collaborative support to foster
the effective integration of technology into the curriculum.
The technology mentor program is a course-oriented, peer-based
program modeled on the successful SAW program. Paired with
a particular faculty member, under the guidance of an RIS professional,
student technology mentors work closely with a faculty member
and the students enrolled in her course to support related
technology needs. RIS looks to pair faculty with students who
are comfortable with technology (especially Web design, video
editing, or WebCT) and are enthusiastic about teaching and
education. Duties and workflows related to a course are likely
to vary and might include holding office hours for project
consultation with students enrolled in the course; offering
training workshops on specific software or equipment associated
with assignments; brainstorming with the faculty member on
the creative uses of particular technologies to meet course
objectives; providing faculty feedback on the effectiveness
of a particular technology-based assignment or tool used in
the classroom; attending the course regularly, engaging in
course readings, and contributing to class interactions; and
developing prototypes or models of a technology-based tool
that will be used for instruction in the course. Faculty interested
in exploring this program further should complete the faculty
mentor application located at www.mtholyoke.edu/lits/ris/techmentor. Please
contact Julie Habjan Boisselle (jboissel, x2795) or Owen Ellard
(oellard, x3023) for more information.
