Responsibly integrate technology into teaching.
Assess self-growth with regard to teaching with technology.
Program Overview

Topics Covered
The Reflective Teaching Portfolio
The Reflective Teaching Portfolio is an intrinsic part of the program. An ongoing,
reflective journal of a faculty member's evolution as a teacher, it is a valuable
and widely recognized professional development tool. The reflective teaching portfolio
includes a statement of teaching philosophy, responsibilities, and goals, as well
as key evidence showing how these goals are being reached. For this certificate program,
the portfolio should focus on the 1.) role of technology in one's teaching practice,
2.) reflection on the impact of technology on teaching and learning, and 3.) ideas
you may have to infuse technology in your teaching.
Creating, Managing, and Sharing Materials With Colleagues and Students
The more you use and share digital content in your courses, the more the content
needs to be prepared, formatted, named, and managed. This session establishes best
practices in how to create, manage and share content in your classes and with your
students that will enhance assignments and make orderly collaboration possible.
Education and Technology
Each program is updated to include current and emerging technologies that are having
a significant impact on education. Recent topics that have been explored include:
The Digital Syllabus, ADA and special needs technologies, augmented reality,creation
and deployemnt of interactive media and research aids (LIB Guides) produced by the
Gladys Marcus Library and fully integrated into Blackboard and more.
Interactive and Collaborative Tools
Tools like VoiceThread and Padlet are among the many collaborative and interactive
tools that bring students together to develop projects, assignments, and presentations.
This portion of the program is conducted online where participants will work in small
groups to explore the learning opportunities fostered by active learning.
Certificate Completion
Each workshop will include surveys and assessments, and faculty will be required to
develop and maintain a Reflective Teaching Portfolio that can be made available for
collegial review at the time of completion. A list of certificate recipients and their
Reflective Teaching Portfolios can be found on this page.
