Advanced learning technologies facilitate team teaching at the college/university level. Team teaching has been shown to benefit both students and faculty. This paper explores the benefits of using a course management package in an interdisciplinary team environment. Among those benefits are: better communication, student monitoring and support, flexibility in subject deliver, and fostering a collaborative environment. The success in the early developmental stage of integrating one such learning technology (Web Course Tools, or WebCT) into our course has seen the package move from a simple tool to an essential member of a teaching team.
Team teaching has been shown to benefit both students and faculty and we have previously shown a class management package (WebCT) supports an interdisciplinary team environment. However, what happens when the team constituency changes? This paper explores our experience with this situation as we depend on WebCT to facilitate adapting to such a change, further highlighting that WebCT is an integral member of our team.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
