  1. COMPUTERS fuel a revolution of PEDAGOGY An Endnote Presentation at the 2002 Interactive Media Forum Miami University, October 22, 2002 by David G. Brown Wake Forest University 1

  2. How Does One Create, Market, and Fund a New Trans-Discipline? • Michael & Darrell break the wind • Rich anticipates “where the puck will be” • Heather relates the challenge to university politics and super-structure • Christina & Nora deconstruct and dissect the meaning of “interactive learning” • Peg provides crucial advice about consistency, integrity, and branding • Dave projects the future decade of mainstream experimentation in teaching and learning

  3. Two Major Themes 1/ For the next decade, teaching & learning (as well as tenure & promotion)will be dominated by experiments in pedagogy that are newly enabled by computers. 2/ The individual student will be the apex of all data-collection and the center of all learning strategies. Rich Miller’s PKB 2

  4. How has the computer changed teaching and learning? (my answer) • It’s caused every teacher to • rethink & redesign. • 2. By increasing student options, it has increased • competition which has in turn compelled universities to pay more attention to the quality of teaching Our profession has been changed forever! 3

  5. FIVE SUB-THEMESAlthough the “computer revolution is still in its infancy, already we know that--- • New learning objects are slow in coming, expensive to develop, & fairly perishable. • Education is fast following manufacturing: it’s newly customized and highly interactive • Most gains come from better communication. (Wake Forest University Study) 4
