2009 Teaching with Technology Conference

The Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) faculty advisory committee is pleased to announce the third annual Teaching with Technology (TWT) Conference on May 5, 2009. Organized for faculty by faculty, this one-day event will focus on the creative and scholarly use of new and emerging technologies by USC faculty members and researchers.
The theme of the conference is the power of the edge. This year's theme highlights the transformative research occurring in the many centers, institutes, and labs across USC. The format will be a quick-paced series of presentations with ample time for discussion. We hope that the conference will enable participants to apply these advances across disciplines and encourage greater insight into how we can help make the teaching and learning process more dynamic. Last year's TWT conference drew over 240 attendees and was very highly rated by conference attendees.
The spring 2009 conference will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., on Tuesday, May 5, 2009, at the Radisson Hotel, at 3540 South Figueroa Street (across the street from Parking Structure X). The event is free to USC faculty and staff and includes conference materials, breakfast, and lunch.
