Rose-Hulman Faculty Members Selected for 2007-08 Project Group

Beginning in June 2007, a new group of Rose-Hulman faculty will begin work on the second year of the project.  This year we will expand the scope of our assessment project by exploring the use of pen-based technologies and collaboration-facilitating software in upper-level courses.  These courses all have a significant visual/graphical dimension.  The symbiosis of hardware and software will allow the instructors to present content in new ways that will impact student learning.
