New Ways to Reach Large ClassesDr. Suzan MurphyInstructorFinance |
A well-timed grant drew Suzan Murphy of the College of Business into the world of technology. Her exploration of the power of technology to enhance her teaching began with her receipt of a Teaching with Technology grant in the summer of 2000. The grant required faculty to create a teaching module and supported their efforts with a laptop computer and multiple training opportunities.
As she acquired the skills necessary to create learning modules, she also began to see how the technology could assist with the challenge of teaching large classes effectively. Suzan teaches Finance 301, and deals with many students, taught in an auditorium setting. The course is required for all business majors and minors, hence the size of the classes and the diversity of abilities in the students.
