Elon University Provost Steven House recently announced that School of Communications lecturer Randy Piland will serve as Elon's first Faculty Fellow for Technology beginning January 2011.
“Piland will begin his work by being a voice for faculty while attending technology planning meetings, exploring new technologies that focus on pedagogy and advancing faculty creative/research projects,” House said in the release.
Piland came to Elon in 2005 after earning his B.S. in Digital Media Communications from Middle Tennessee State University and his M.A. in Visual Communications with an emphasis in Multimedia from Ohio University. Randy has nearly 30 years in print journalism as a photojournalist, director of photography and technology trainer.
