About the Seminar:
Dr Sandy Schuck will lead this half-day seminar on the eChange project she
leads at the University of Technology Sydney. Sandy will explore the
experiences, successes and challenges of a professional development project
on the use of ICT she coordinates in the Faculty of Education at the
University of Technology, Sydney. The project, entitled the eChange
Project, has the aim of supporting faculty staff to incorporate technology-
rich tasks which are authentic and appropriate into their teaching. It
also has the aim of supporting those staff members with advanced technology
skills to investigate ways in which they can use ICT to transform and
enhance their teaching.
The seminar will explore the aims and strategies of the eChange Project,
the challenges in implementing those strategies, and the successes
experienced through the last two and a half years (the duration of the
eChange Project). Sandy will show examples of ICT rich tasks used in the
faculty and describe projects in which ICT is enhancing learning. Some of
the change principles used will also be highlighted, as will general issues
related to ICT use in education.
Time will be included for the participants to share their experiences
concerning faculty development and change management and to develop
collaboratively, a set of principles for the successful support of
faculties in their moves to effectively use ICT in their teaching.
