Instructional Design & Technology (IDT) is always happy to meet with our Rutgers–Camden faculty on your schedule, on campus, by phone, or via Zoom. We can also present to your academic department or any small group of Rutgers–Camden instructors on pedagogical best practices—or on the many edtech tools Rutgers offers in support of your teaching and learning goals. To schedule a group workshop or a one-on-one consultation with IDT, reach out to us at idt@camden.rutgers.edu or 856-225-6090. We look forward to working with you!

Collaborative Learning tools
Thursday 6/20 (12-12:45) in Zoom
Promote a community of inquiry in your classroom to foster a strong sense of belonging. Using tools like Hypothesis (social annotation of course readings), YellowDig (social media-style chat), Flip (chat via phone video), Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive, you’ll create or re-design a classroom activity.
Interactive Lecture tools
Tuesday 6/25 (12-12:45) in Zoom
Engage students in active learning, whether online or in the classroom. Tools we’ll review may include PlayPosit (add an interactive layer over your video), interactive whiteboard tools, and polling tools like Slido and Kahoot. Whatever your lecture style, online or in the classroom, you’ll update a lecture by adding student input.
Multimodal Student Presentation tools
Thursday 6/27 (12-12:45) in Zoom
Encourage students to create exciting solo or collaborative projects, using audio, video, graphics, and/or text to allow authentic assessment of their learning. Explore tools including VoiceThread, Canva, and Adobe Express. You’ll update an assignment to encourage students to engage with each other and with these rich-content tools.

Faculty eLearning Conference
The inaugural Faculty eLearning Conference on April 29, 2014 started an annual tradition of celebrating great teaching and learning at Rutgers–Camden. IDT hosted the one-day conference under the auspices of the provost from 2014-2019 in person at the Campus Center, with a full schedule of faculty presentations about their teaching challenges, innovations, and successes. In 2020, during the pandemic, we hosted a fully-online version of the conference. Since then, the conference has been on hold, but we have high hopes for a re-launch!
Information from previous years is available from our Past Conferences page.
Digital Teaching Fellows
In an initiative inspired by Dean Kris Lindenmeyer of FAS, the first cohort of DT Fellows was selected in the spring of 2014—and all four of our Camden deans continued their support of this transformative program. Over the years, the Fellows explored new classroom technologies such as untethered projection from iPads, high-def classroom recording, interactive apps, and other engaging tools. We enjoyed robust debate about pedagogical applications of technology and how best to transform the classroom into an engaging, interactive learning environment for students. Previous Fellows contributed in subsequent years with presentations based on their own experiences with applying new ideas in the classroom.
