The Seven Principles of Effective Teaching with Technology

1. Interaction between faculty and students - technology has increased the opportunities for students and faculty to communicate using email and computer conferencing.
   
   
2. Able to develop collaboration and cooperation among students - technology allows students to participate in online student groups and/or collaborate on projects.
   
   
3. Active learning - students are able to conduct research via the Web and use simulation software to gain understanding of concepts.
   
   
4. Timely feedback - technology allows immediate feedback to students regarding questions, assignments, and other course activities.
   
   
5. Emphasis on time management - students have more flexibility because they can work at home when it's convenient. Studying can be more efficient.
   
   
6. High expectations - simulation software provides different types of learning challenges. Having students' work made public raises the level of expectation.
   
   
7. Different ways of learning - technology provides multiple delivery systems that allow students different methods that are more suited to their learning (Chickering & Gamson (1994), Chickering & Erhmann (1996), cited in Card & Horton (2000)

ADB can be used to implement most of these principles. I am going to share with you how eight professors are doing this.
