| Project Summary | The objective of the project is to design, build and implement a set of high technology learning delivery tools and guidelines that can be used broadly within the Faculty to enhance an already strong teaching and learning environment. Over the course of the past several years, the Faculty of Forestry has committed substantial resources to building a rich technological infrastructure. Recently we have seen a keen interest by faculty to put this technological infrastructure to work as part of the teaching and learning process. However, it is clear that two major impediments, available time and appropriate expertise by teaching staff (primarily faculty), act to deter progress in this direction. If clear guidelines and procedures on the use of the available technological infrastructure can be developed, coupled with the support of good local expertise, we will be able to overcome these problems and build a highly interactive, modern, efficient and effective learning environment. |
