The FAA approved Blackboard as the primary means for official recording required by 14CFR Part 141 ground school courses, therefore all FAA courses in the department use Blackboard for grade posting. Additionally, most courses use it for posting documents, student interactive chats, online quizzes, and posting powerpoint presentations and announcements.

Department faculty use technology as a communication and organizational tool that supports excellent teaching. Examples of technology that is being used to help students learn science include course management software (Blackboard), presentation software (i.e. PowerPoint), database software (Microsoft Access and ISI Researchsoft EndNote), assessment software (TestGen EQ and CourseCompass), visualization and modeling software (CHIME and RasMol), statistical software (SPSS), and various websites (either existing or constructed by faculty for their courses).
Chemistry
Department faculty regularly utilize a range of information technologies to foster student learning. Due to the abstract nature of our discipline, information technology is particularly important for faculty to convey chemical concepts and ideas. The resources that are routinely used in the department are: PowerPoint presentations; web pages with course information, activities, practice tests and supplementary links and materials; CDs accompanying textbooks; educational videos; and the campus-wide Blackboard program for course structuring and tests.
Blackboard Courses:
CHEM 181LAB, 182, 182LAB, 183LAB, 431, 432, 492/592, UNIV 101
Internet Supported Courses:
CHEM 181, 182 and 183
CHEM 361, 361Lab, 362, and 363Lab
Communication
Many of the Department’s faculty are frequent users of the Blackboard computer-based learning platform as augmentation to traditional classroom activities. Robert Fordan and Cynthia Mitchell are probably the best users of the system: using discussion groups, posting readings, and using it to design quizzes. Other faculty use it to facilitate grading quizzes.

Geography
The use of Blackboard in courses such as GEOG 101, GEOG 403, and GEOG 404 has been an important component of classroom instruction and multi-tiered communication. It provides an interactive method for all students to be informed and to inform one another throughout a quarter. Providing an overarching structure that is accessible at all times, students are able to review information, stay up to date and on task, and even provide anonymous feedback and communication. In GEOG 101, World Regional Geography, as taught by Lipton, all students are required to become familiar and comfortable with the Blackboard environment. At this introductory level, it immediately ensures that incoming freshmen and transfer students are literate and comfortable with new technologies provided at the University.
Within the structure of Blackboard, students may obtain further information about each subject covered in class, links to multi-media or online instructional materials, up-to-date calendars and assignments, and it also provides a forum for classroom communication and participation. Geography is an incredibly visual discipline because of the use of maps and other visual media, therefore the integration of Blackboard also provides a platform for students to interpret, study, and analyze visual materials on their own time.
Additional utilization of the Blackboard electronic learning environment takes place in several sections of GEOG 101, where Lipton assigns every student to a group representing each world region. The students are then responsible for individually investigating recent news articles or regionally relevant information and then posting their findings on Blackboard’s Discussion List. These posts are then integrated into classroom discussion and lecture to further engage students in the material being covered in lecture format. The Discussion list serves not only as an efficient means for students to cultivate their own interest in each particular region of the world, but it also serves to develop and link students in the class.

• Instructor evaluation of LiveText is generally negative. Faculty members cite confusing software, inadequate support, and much time invested for little benefit to instructor or student. Detailed evaluative comments are available from the Psychology Department.
• The digital recording and playback system for our graduate training clinic practice is consistently praised by faculty members.
• Evaluation of distance education equipment and staff support is generally favorable. Occasional distance transmission breakdowns still occur, however.
• Classroom presentation technology is used and enjoyed by nearly all faculty members. The most common uses are powerpoint presentation of lecture outlines and real time access to web resources.
