Dr. Bugallo received a grant from Hewlett Packard (HP) of 21 tablet PCs and audiovisual equipment that she uses in her classroom. Students use these computers to take notes which include illustrations and graphs, and to do programming and simulations. Matlab is used for simulations, Word, OneNote and Journal are used for note taking. In addition, students use the laptops to gather data in the field during research projects. The Tablet PC enables Monica to use math simulation software for live exercises in the classroom. Monica finds that students at all levels (high school, under grad and grad) adapt quickly to using the computers and that her classes have been transformed from a purely theoretical approach to applied problem solving. Dr. Bugallo’s students use Wikis to keep a log of activities, pose questions to her on the content and reflect on their learning. The advantage of online Wiki’s over a paper-based approach is that it enables students to share knowledge among them and review each other’s work. They are also more motivated as they often show their work to friends and family.

The Innovations in Education project features Stony Brook faculty and staff using innovative approaches and best practices in teaching, and applications of educational technology that have had a positive effect on student learning. Video interviews are 15 to 30 minutes long and focus primarily on faculty members. The last section of each interview is usually with a professional staff member who can provide support to faculty interested in adopting the pedagogy or technology discussed during each show. Video and pictures of the application of the innovation or best practice in the learning environment are included in each show where possible. The interviews are intended to provide a balanced look at both the benefits and challenges of adopting a particular approach to teaching and learning support. Guests are asked questions such as:* What made you dissatisfied with your previous approach?* How did you change the structure and delivery of your course?* How did the students react? * What were your biggest challenges?* How do you feel about your teaching now?* What are you planning next for your course?In addition to the video interviews many of our innovative faculty are interviewed and articles written about their teaching approach and philosophy.

Joe Lauher, a professor of chemistry at Stony Brook, describes how he and a team of his colleagues transformed their organic chemistry course. This course is taught to over a thousand students each year in a lecture hall that seats 560 students. Joe discusses how the introduction of clickers has engaged his students by forcing them to think about and discuss the content with fellow students during the large lectures. In particular, he discusses how the questions posed to the class need to be written to generate discussion. In additon, he and his team have used portable computer equipment to enable them to leave the stage and mingle with the audience while still controlling the presentation and writing on the screen. He discusses how "teaching from the floor" has changed the intimacy of the class and his knowledge of the students. Joe is joined by Nancy Wozniak, a learning architect within the TLT Faculty Center. Nancy talks about active learning and how The Faculty Center can provide support for making their courses more student centric.Part 2: " target=״_blank״http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_Clyp4JIfoPart 3: " target=״_blank״http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgEsr5e0JRg
