The College of Arts and Sciences Office of Distance Education (ASC ODE) announces the formation of the Teaching with Technology Advisory Group, a subset of the ASC’s Teaching with Technology Learning Community.

The Teaching with Technology Learning Community is a space for instructors to explore, identify, and share how they integrate educational technology tools into their courses. The primary goal of this learning community is to assist and support faculty in meaningfully integrating technology into their instructional practices.

The Advisory Group will establish an avenue for faculty input for educational technology identification, selection, adoption, and use processes. Please note that while this committee may provide guidance and insight regarding education technology tools, numerous factors contribute to the decision to adopt a tool including but not limited to need, cost, student and instructor privacy, security, accessibility, terms and conditions, deployment requirements, and functionality.

Currently, the learning community will function asynchronously via Microsoft Teams, with the potential for synchronous or face-to-face meetings in the future. If you are interested in joining the Teaching with Technology Learning Community, please fill out this form. On the form, you will be able to indicate interest in joining the advisory group as well. We encourage all levels of educational technology expertise to join the learning community. If you have any questions, please reach out to the College of Arts and Sciences Office of Distance Education, ascode@osu.edu.
