Wireless
instructional initiatives (WII)
Wireless computing and mobile learning continue to evolve
as powerful
tools to enhance communication, collaboration, and information
management. As the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, enters its fifth
year of hosting a pervasive academic wireless network, the ITC continues
to collaborate with faculty to investigate best practices for teaching
and learning, establish innovative teaching practices, and explore
research possibilities. Over the past 5 years, the ITC has partnered
with faculty from 21 departments in 4 colleges to exploit the existing
UT wireless network and incorporate relevant educational technologies.
Participants in the WII project integrate wireless technology
in their
course for a minimum of one quarter of the semester, participate in a
summer institute that incorporates pedagogical consultation with
individualized training, submit status reports to the ITC WII
implementation team and the other WII participants, conduct pre- and
post-course student assessments, and submit a final report.
Previous projects have incorporated equipment ranging from
wireless
laptops, PDAs, and Tablet PCs to digital cameras and GPS units. Specific
activities from the past few years have begun to shift from a
classroom-based, individual model to ones more group and field based,
such as capturing real-world data (pictures, coordinates, prices, etc.)
and relaying or storing it for later analysis amongst team members.
Project Outlines
The Innovative Technology Center is not seeking participants
