During the Fall 2005 semester, 72% of all DWU full-time faculty
had placed course materials on TigerNet, and two-thirds of all conventional,
lecture style courses (excluding performance-based courses, labs,
student teaching, independent study, etc.) had some form of TigerNet
presence. These numbers are likely to grow as TigerNet becomes more
and more a part of the university culture.
This section of the Instructional Technology web site is dedicated
to helping DWU faculty teach and students learn effectively in an
online environment.
How
to Teach Online
These pages are about online pedagogy - topics such
as how to use the Internet to promote learning at the higher
levels of the cognitive domain, managing online discussions,
student assessment, and other topics of special interest to faculty
who want to use web-based activities to promote higher order
learning and critical thinking.

Guides for Faculty
Here, faculty will find detailed, illustrated instructions for
getting set up in TigerNet and using its course management system
tools. Because these guides incorporate screen shots of proprietary
software, access is limited to the DWU domain.
TigerNet
Guides for Students
These are corresponding guides to help students get set up in
TigerNet and use course management system tools. Access to these
pages also is restricted to the DWU domain.
TigerNet
FAQs for Faculty

Support
for Faculty in Creating Learning Materials
How does a faculty member scan a document for use in a TigerNet
course? Narrate a PowerPoint presentation and reduce the file size?
Scan a 35mm slide? Capture an image from a screen or scanned document
and annotate it for student use? And where do you get assistance
in doing these things?
