Presentation: EAC Outcomes and Blackboard
Presented by: Rob Kennedy
COPH 8/240
The presentation will provide an overview of the EAC Outcomes computer program which offers distribution and analysis of course surveys and tests.

Professors have dramatically changed the face of education and improved course delivery!
Today's students have an average attention span of 7 minutes. How do you plan on keeping their attention long enough to teach them the vital information they need to succeed in our highly competitive world? The use of student response technology is a proven means of actively engaging students and maintaining student attention. Come see a live demonstration of the Turning Technology Clickers and see if they are something you would find useful.
