CDL, CETL co-sponsor eCompanion training for MDW facultyBy - June 1, 2009 - 11:50 amEmail this article | Printer friendly page Park University's College for Distance Learning and the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning co-sponsored its third series of eCompanion training sessions May 4-5 to faculty at the University's Washington, D.C., area campus centers. The sessions were held at the Henderson Hall Headquarters Battalion Campus Center and at the Fort Myer Campus Center. Shown in the adjacent photo at the HHHB training are, from left, Frank Bergmeister, adjunct instructor of management; Harry Harrison, assistant professor of computer science and mathematics; Vicki Harsh, faculty member of the eTeaching Institute and senior academic consultant for eCollege; Pam Denton, adjunct instructor of management; and Michael Wakelin, adjunct instructor of mathematics. eCompanion is the learning management system Park uses as a tool to augment face-to-face classes. Faculty can load course documents, web sites, hold live chats and conduct threaded discussions. It also allows for all course content, such as PowerPoint, video, schedule, lectures and grades, to be posted in one location. Students benefit by having a one-stop place for all course information and a location to "drop off" and receive graded assignments.
