Fifth Annual Technology Fair to Take Place During University Conference

Many projects will be on display and two Dell all-one-printers will be awarded at this year’s Technology Fair.

The Teaching Learning Technology Roundtable (TLTR) is hosting the Fifth Annual Technology Fair from 1:45-5 p.m. Feb. 7, the afternoon of the University Conference, in the Student Union Building Activities Room.

The Fair will showcase both exciting ways that technology can facilitate the educational process as well as innovative ways that technology is already being used at Truman.

The topics that will be covered include, among others, creating an e-textbook, tailoring an online simulation game for use in courses, with audiovisual and textual resources to enhance the reading of a literary work, using an online “wiki” Web site to compile class resources for use by different instructors, developing an online mathematics curriculum for use in K-12 education, and the latest from Instructional Design Services led by Diane Richmond, the new instructional designer.

In addition, the winners of the TruTech Challenge, a competition of technology projects open to students, faculty, staff, classes and organizations, will be awarded Dell printers in a ceremony at 4:30 p.m.

The Technology Fair will conclude in conjunction with the University Conference’s social hour, during which refreshments will be served.
