Antonio Izzo

Antonio Izzo and Yuko Miyamoto (Biology Department) presented "Elon's Biology Cabinet: An IT/Faculty partnership in online resource development" at the 2011 Educause Southeast Regional Conference held in Charlotte, NC June 2nd.

The presentation summarized the video production process resulting from a collaboration between the Biology Department and the Teaching and Learning Technology Group at Elon. Four instructional videos that focus on core Biology and Biochemistry lab techniques were produced that are currently being used in lab courses across these programs. These videos can be viewed at www.elon.edu/e-web/academics/elon_college/biology/resources/

The presentation included discussion of the developing model with an audience composed of both teaching faculty and IT staff from other regional colleges and universities.
