“The Task Force on Curricular Innovation and Technology is charged with looking at existing and potential structures for promoting innovative thinking among faculty with regard to emerging pedagogies and technological opportunities.”

In early February, the Task Force and Technology will be hold open meetings to solicit advice from the faculty concerning this charge. In anticipation of those meetings we solicit responses and an open discussion from all facets of the Lafayette Community. Please share your thoughts on our existing  curricular strengths and weaknesses as well your perceptions concerning the threats or opportunities presented to the College by online learning and courses like MOOCs.

Additionally there may be other ways that you think the College needs to provide support for our teaching endeavors. For example…are our teaching spaces adequate? How about class sizes?

Please share any and all concerns about our teaching responsibilities that you feel we should be thinking about.
