2004-2005
Scholarship of Teaching & Learning
with Technology Awards

This year Portland State University will recognize submissions from full-time faculty for uses of technology in teaching and student learning. Those awarded will serve as outstanding examples of scholarship in teaching. These awards support the acknowledgment of the importance of technology in academia and its importance in student learning.

The award recipients will be presented with $500 to be applied toward their choice of scholarship enhancement (e.g., software, hardware, books, journals, travel to conferences). Submissions may represent individual or team efforts. Award recipients will exhibit their work at the 2004 Teaching & Learning with Technology Fair on Tuesday, May 3, 2005 from 1:00-4:00 pm in the SMU Ballroom.

The application must answer the following five questions (not to exceed three pages):

  • What specific course and student learning objectives were you and/or your team trying to achieve using this technology?
  • What technology was implemented? Please detail both the in-class and out-of-class uses.
  • What were the results in terms of student learning?
  • What was the assessment process used to document results?
  • What have you and/or your team learned about using technology in teaching and learning?
  • How have you and/or your team presented your experiences and results to peers (e.g., departmental seminars, regional or national meetings, journals, book chapters)?
