Rutgers—Camden provides support for faculty in teaching and research through many channels. Instructional Design & Technology has been created specifically to support the appropriate integration of technology into the curriculum. Our goal is to work with faculty on proven (or experimental!) projects to improve, strengthen, and invigorate the experience of learning and teaching.

Learn to love Sakai
Sakai is many things to many people, but at the very least it can be a clear and simple way for faculty in Camden to offer course materials to their students online. Posting your course description, syllabus, class notes, assignments, readings, and/or research links on a secure but easy-to-use, web-based system can help your students work wherever they may be. Many faculty also find it useful to have quick access to class information.
In addition, using email, discussion lists, or online chat sessions can enrich class discussion and equalize participation for students with different communication styles. Sakai can offer even more tools depending on the instructor's needs. Read on or contact me, Emily Corse, if you'd like a one-on-one training session (corse@rutgers.edu or x6474).
What about WebCT?
WebCT is no longer available at Rutgers (since summer 2007). If you still have any course materials you need from WebCT, contact me right away at corse@rutgers.edu or 856 225 6474.
Blogs at Camden
With the generous support of OIT, we are beginning an experiment to offer blogs to Camden faculty and departments using WordPress MU. The Camden blog site offers one great blog used in teaching Philosophy & Religion. Take a look!
