> Dear All,

> I am interested to learn about the names of your departments, specifically
> those of you who work in university/college support departments with a mandate
> for e-learning support.

> It has been suggested that our department's current name - Digital Media
> Projects Office - does not do enough to emphasize a role in e-learning. Some
> argue it fails to distinguish us from other units who develop digital media
> solutions to marketing or recruitment challenges, to name just two examples. I
> tend to agree. Our team comprises instructional designers and technologists
> and our mandate is to essentially enhance teaching and learning and encourage
> innovation in that teaching, through the creative application of technology.
> We work directly with faculty to help them get the most out of our current LMS
> (Blackboard), other systems (clickers, podcasting etc) and we also create
> custom solutions - widgets, gizmos, methods etc. Student Engagement is the
> current buzz phrase here. As an added complication, we also support the
> growing research community.
>
> The most popular suggestion so far is "Technology Enhanced Learning", but it's
> not quite doing it for me. I would very much welcome your input. Your
> department name, names of those you know of, names of those that you really
> think hit the mark. I know some, and I will continue to crawl the web, but I
> look forward to hearing from you with suggestions. This is not a
> name-the-polar-bear-cub competition, but I do almost feel like I should be
> offering a prize. (Maybe a guided tour of the university next time you're in
> Toronto. I might even throw in a donut).
