TECHNOLOGY
Continued from page 1
Tenured professors, by contrast, have guaran-
teed spots at the University, and consequently
can take the time to learn how to use new skills,
Bayer said. "For professors with tenure, using
technology isn't taking away from their portfo-
lio," she said.
The Educause center suggests that most pro-
fessors surveyed aren't willing to research new
technology on their own. The firm queried profes-
sors at Brandeis University, Wesleyan University
and Willians College who did not use technology
such as class websites, online chat rooms or online
grading for assignments.
Of the 184 professors surveyed, 24 percent said
they didn't have the time to learn the technology.
Twenty-seven percent said they didn't know about
the benefits, 17 percent said the technology was
inappropriate for their classes and 23 percent said
it wasn't worth using.
Unlike most professors, tenured University
geology Prof. Ben Van Der Pluijm took the ini-
tiative to acquire an in-class responder unit for
his geology lecture. Each student can answer his
questions by punching buttons on an electronic
answering device at their seats. The responses are
further discussed in class. Van Der Pluijm said he
requested the unit because he "wanted to make
the large classroom setting more interesting and
engaging."
Van Der Pluijm said he doesn't blame younger
professors for not embracing technology since they
have so many career pressures. He said "class-
rooms should be better equipped to use modern
technology, so professors can see the potential and
set it up."
Stephanie Teasley, the director of the user sup-
port and design lab for Ctools - the University's
web service for online coursework - said she
agrees with Pluijm that technology should be more
readily available to professors. "There is a void of
knowledge about how technology should be used
in the classroom," she said.
LSA students say their professors do not use the
simplest technology, such as PowerPoint, effec-
tively. Wagner said "you can fix the problem by
teaching teachers how to create an effective Pow-
erPoint presentation."
Some students say professors have more trouble
with equipment at the beginning of the semester
but adjust to it as the semester progresses. "Tech-
nology slows the class down," LSA sophomore
Jeff Leibovitch said about his musical composi-
tion class. "Now, it's fine, but at the beginning
of the semester my professor wasn't used to the
equipment."
LSA sophomore Ely Key also said professors
have difficulty. "There just always seems to be
some type of technical difficulty. Sometimes you
go into class and the professor seem to have no
idea what he is doing," he said.
James Hilton, associate provost for academic,
informational and technological affairs, said there
are instructional services offered to teach technol-
ogy to all University faculty, but a lot of training
is upheld by each college individually.
"I don't mandate if faculty are going to use (new
technology). Some of the tools are going to work
really well for some faculty and some will not,"
Hilton said.
Bayer said it is very difficult to "match the right
technology to the learning activity. It can take
years to master the "sweet spot," she wrote in an
e-mail.
Paul Killey, executive director for information-
al technology at the College of Engineering, said
since there are fewer lecture halls and less infor-
mation technology classroom support, it is harder
to promote technology in engineering.
"Some of the faculty are getting pretty good at
this stuff. ... However, it's a process that doesn't
happen in one day," he said.
