Education faculty present at International Academic Research Conference

Members of the Division of Education presented at the Center for Scholastic Inquiry’s annual International Academic Research Conference held in Charleston, SC, October 28-30. The presentation, by Drs. Susan Gilbert, Lynn Swann, Pam Vesely and Robin Buchanan, demonstrated how to create an online environment that exposes students to a multiplicity of discourses. This allows for contained but robust interactive online discussion, which has the potential to shape, develop, deepen and expand students’ understandings of course material and their use of technology to construct ideas and frame them in a way that is clear and representational.
 
The Center for Scholastic Inquiry was established with the express mission of providing education, business, and behavioral science professionals with a scholarly forum for exploring and sharing the latest academic research in their respective fields.
