Surprises
Though welcome, the overwhelming adoption
by the faculty was the biggest surprise. And while the larger-than-expected
pilot program called for the enlistment of additional tech support, it was,
for the most part, unneeded.
Next Steps
Coppin State is planning to equip all
of its classrooms across campus with microphones and cameras to make the note-taking
solution accessible to all students and faculty, and will also explore the possibility
of investing in movable cameras that can “follow” the more mobile instructors.The
university is also discussing the possibility of installing additional microphones
in the classroom, aside from those worn by the professors, in order to better
capture student comments and questions on audio recordings.
Advice
Says El-Haggan,
“To get a feel for the technology, implement your own pilot program, or formulate
a dry run where a select group of faculty and students are provided the equipment
to use for a week or two. Introduce your faculty and students to the technology
in advance of a course so that they are all wellprepared, and can take best
advantage of the solution. Also, be sure to arrange for the appropriate technical
support, if only to reassure the faculty and students that help is available
when they need it.”
