Faculty Fordham spr. ‘09
Posted by Kristen Treglia on May 15, 2009
We had a great turnout of about 50 faculty members at our Spring meeting of the Faculty Forum on Teaching and Technology, first at Lincoln Center on Tuesday and then at Rose Hill on Wednesday. 
Using discussion boards, preventing plagiarism, and using Blackboard were discussed at length at both sessions. The presentation on discussion boards along with resources and links have all been posted to the Faculty Forum on Teaching and Technology.
For those faculty who were unable to attend but would like access to resource materials posted on blackboard and would like to participate in future events, please send us an email and we will enroll you in the organization: blackboard@fordham.edu
View more pictures of the Faculty Forum on our new Flickr page!!
Here are examples of some of the resources posted in the Faculty Forum on Teaching and Technology Organization on Blackboard:
Assignments given with examples of forums set up on the Discussion Board page 1, page 2, and page 3 (there is a PDF version available in the organization) as well as links to tips on facilitating discussion boards.
