A Solution to Technology as a Disrupter – The All-Purpose Technology Infusion Plan (TIP)!

Do you struggle with keeping up-to-date with the latest educational technologies? Are you still searching for a systemic answer to reduce new technology-anxiety, increase faculty integration of valuable learning innovations, and make learning a fun experience again? This panel will present the Technology Infusion Plan (TIP) that enabled a graduate program to address the constant disruption of new technology for online learning. During this panel session all TIP components will be demonstrated, including: (a) a walk-through of the Criteria for Technology Selection Checklist and Timeline, (b) real life technology examples showing faculty phase-in options, and (c) the development process of learning modules for faculty adoption from an instructional designer perspective. Additional resources will be highlighted to ensure that this session provides a valuable addition to the university instructor’s teaching tool-kit.

During this interactive session, panel members will provide and discuss multiple examples of TIP strategies and processes from current courses. Session participants will follow a step-by-step process that allows for an interactive dialogue throughout the discussion. All panelists will share actual artifacts using video/audio segments when possible. Audience questions and participation will be integrated throughout the presentation as panel members explain and demonstrate the suggested use of these learning technologies.
