Abstract Text: Savannah State University's Center for Teaching and Learning is a campus wide initiative to foster best practices in teaching and learning. The Center was founded on the idea that the University as a whole is a laboratory, in which faculty, staff, and students work and experiment together, across departments and disciplines, to advance learning.
Computer Information Systems majors work on an internship with the Technology Support Specialist on the design of an EPACK for WEBCT. Interns work with faculty on altering the EPACK to their specifications and assist the faculty in the completion of their design of the course. The primary objective of the internship is to facilitate innovative undergraduate teaching that utilizes information and technology to its fullest in a learner-centered environment. This enables faculty to achieve their core teaching goals and provides interns with the capability to tap into the world-wide reservoir of careers in instructional design.
