Showcasing eCOW2 features

Increasing technology-enhanced learning (TEL) in engineering and science courses is the goal of the TEL Project. Selected faculty in both the College of Engineering and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences worked with TEL consultants to implement some of the new Moodle features of eCOW2 into their Fall 09/Spring 10 courses. On September 1st, these faculty members along with the TEL consultants who collaborated on their courses over the summer met to showcase some eCOW2 exemplar features that were implemented in the various courses. This provided an opportunity to see how faculty peers were using the new eCOW2 course management system. Some of the new technology features in CALS and Engineering courses include self-directed web-based lessons, virtual workspaces for group project collaboration and online quizzing outside of the classroom. The TEL team will work with additional faculty during the upcoming fall and spring semesters to increase levels of technology-enhanced learning in more courses.
