Message from the Director The 2009 – 20010 was another successful year for faculty development initiatives here at

Pace. The Center for Teaching Learning and Technology (CTLT) continued its fifth year of a suc-

cessful partnership with the Pforzheimer Center for Faculty Development. The dynamic team

at the Centers continued to carry forth the vision and the mission of CTLT which are aligned

with the core values that are expressed in the three year plan issued by the new administra-

tion.

The annual report demonstrates that the faculty development programs continued to expand

in number and in attendance. The two most popular programs are Course Development Days

(offered twice a year right before the start of a semester) and the Annual Faculty Institute held

each May. An expanded program was presented this year to cover Tenure and Promotion

offered by the Provost and the Deans. The faculty exchange lunches continued to expand in

popularity. CTLT and Pforzheimer attempted to address current or new challenges and started

a development program on Collegiate Learning Assessment. The session was held in May and

10 faculty attended. There was also an enriched a one-day full-time faculty orientation in Au-

gust. It was the second year for the new one day program and there was favorable reviews.

The great news was that various initiatives are underway thanks to the funding from the

Thinkfinity Grant. In fact, this was year three for the five year initiative funded by a $3 million

grant that the Provost and The Executive Director submitted to the Verizon Foundation. There

are three cornerstones in the grant which certain goals set for each of the cornerstones. Cor-

nerstone One represents the expansion and community outreach with regards to the Thinkfin-

ity platform, Cornerstone Two was community outreach with regards to information technolo-

gy for the underrepresented communities. This will be accomplished in part by developing In-

terdisciplinary service learning course. The third Cornerstone address Informatics and devel-

opment of programs and courses to illustrate and develop the field of Informatics. This year

we initiated the Provost Grants for Innovative Teaching and Technology.

What remains vital for the CTLT and Pforzheimer team is continuously striving to address the

challenges that faculty face in there “classroom” environment. We recognize that technology

is just one of the challenges and attention must be given to the diverse student population.

CTLT is aware that diversity in the classroom is not just a social/cultural phenomenon yet

there is diversity in learning styles and in quality of students and their work.

The report would not be possible without the support of Dr. Abbey Berg who offers credence

Message from the Director

to want the Centers do for the faculty. I thank you for reviewing the Annual Report and I hope it demonstrates the commitment that the University and CTLT staff has made to faculty

development and the enhancement to student learning.

Center for Teaching Learning & Technology

Mission

The Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT) offers support to faculty in a rapidly

changing teaching/learning environment. The University’s Strategic Plan recognizes the im-

portance of faculty and their essential role in providing for a student-centered educational ex-

perience. In recognition of the faculty’s desire to keep up with the latest instructional method-

ologies, the CTLT is committed to faculty driven initiatives that incorporate current pedagogi-

cal strategies and highlight new technologies resulting in teaching excellence. CTLT will offer

and facilitate new faculty development programs that will demonstrate how to provide a posi-

tive learning environment that foster students’ intellectual growth and competence. To realize

the University’s core objective of strengthening Pace’s academic reputation, the CTLT is dedi-

cated to assisting faculty in exploring dynamic teaching methodologies appropriate for a di-

verse student body wanting to learn. CTLT will support both traditional and non-traditional

instruction. In order to enhance the student-centered environment, CTLT will advocate for

effective student support so that students can succeed in learning.

Vision

The Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT), following the direction of Pace Uni-

versity’s strategic plan, will strive for the highest quality distributed education environment.

CTLT, in partnership with Pforzheimer Center for Faculty Development, recognizes that certain

characteristics of teaching excellence include the establishment and communication of clear

learning outcomes, the assessment of learning and the active involvement of students. Sound

pedagogical design and student-center initiatives will drive the Center’s activities. The special-

ized areas of operation at CTLT include Instructional Design, Online Support Services for both

students and faculty, and the Evening Support Office on the Pleasantville campus. The CTLT

and Pforzheimer will coordinate and arrange workshops and services for the faculty that are

both discipline specific and for the entire University faculty. In order to attain the vision, the

CTLT will collaborate with key University departments and divisions.

Center for teaching Learning & Technology

Pforzheimer Center for Faculty Development

The Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT) is the umbrella organization of the

Pforzheimer Center for Faculty Development. The Pforzheimer Center for Faculty Develop-

ment provides opportunities for Pace University full-time and adjunct faculty to improve their

skills with enhanced student learning. The Pforzheimer Center encourages faculty to strength-

en their current teaching skills and expand their research techniques to match their teaching

with the needs of their students and the demands of their subject matter. Working in tandem

with the Center for Teaching, Learning & Technology, the Pforzheimer Center supports a wide

variety of approaches to teaching and learning. Its offerings include workshops and demon-

strations; mentoring by experienced colleagues; task groups to explore problems and develop

solutions; and other individual or group activities designed to meet faculty interests. The Cen-

ter is overseen by an Advisory Board and a director, Abbey Berg of the Dyson School of Arts

and Science, based in New York City. For further information about the Pforzheimer Center

visit page 32.

The CTLT and Pforzheimer Centers’ mission is the recognition of a new distributed educational

paradigm and the importance of faculty development in this new diverse learning environ-

ment. The Centers and their services exist for all interested faculty. To be proactive and suc-

cessful in achieving its goals, the CTLT will incorporate the following objectives to guide its mis-

sion and vision. The Center will strive for academic excellence. In particular, CTLT will continue

to offer support in the area of Information Literacy and Instructional Technology incorporating

these two components into the faculty’s pedagogy. This would entail a close working relation-

ship with the University Library and the Division of Information Technology. Assessment will

remain an important initiative for the CTLT since it is the major focus of higher education. Ad-

juncts are an important part of the University community and there must be a more active

attempt to get the adjuncts involved with the support programs that CTLT is willing to provide.

In addition, the new core while innovative does provide CTLT with new opportunities to work

with the faculty and provide support to the Dyson College of Arts and Science.

Goals and Objectives

1. Continue to enhance the current services offered by the Center for Teaching, Learning and

Technology that address effective incorporation of instructional technologies.

Meet with the Pforzheimer Advisory Board in order to review a “needs assessment” of

what faculty development services must be provided. Advisory Board meetings will be

held once a semester.

Continue to assess the current schedule of workshops and events and determine their

relevance and assess their quality. Make adjustments where needed.

Provide additional support to the faculty involved with the Honors College laptop initia-

tive.

Assess and broaden the newly created support office for online learners and instruc-

tors.

Assess the reorganized Evening Coordinator’s position in Pleasantville measuring its

support to Pleasantville adjuncts and administrative support to Pforzheimer Center.

3


Continue to offer “Course Development Days” as a way to motivate faculty to integrate

technology into their teaching by assisting them with course materials. Increase the

number of faculty participating in these days.

Support departmental and school based requests for workshops including requests

from individual faculty members for consultations.

Enhance the support services to adjunct faculty beyond the services now offered.

2. Continue to organize and plan various faculty development workshops. These workshops

contribute to the University’s efforts in enhancing student learning through the continuous

improvement of faculty’s pedagogical skills and knowledge.

Continue to promote the Faculty Resource Network headquartered at NYU and contin-

ue to promote the Network within Pace. Maintain the high levels of participation from

Pace faculty for the University Associate Program and Summer Seminar.

Encourage faculty to reflect on their strengths and weaknesses in their teaching

through the “Teaching Portfolio Workshop.”

Organize the annual two-day Faculty Institute which will foster faculty collaboration

and allow them to attend various faculty development workshops on instructional skills

and integrating technology.

Implement additional workshop offerings and increase the number of individual or de-

partment workshops that address the issues of tenure and promotion.

3. Implement and formalize developmental programs for new University initiatives.

Design and develop a Pace Faculty Mentoring program. This new initiative would allow

all new full time faculty to explore the university’s resources with guidance from a

mentor. A major component of the Pace Mentoring Program would be faculty collabo-

ration with demonstrations of best practices. This would be an on-going program with

a new cohort of faculty each year.

Adjunct Faculty are an essential resource at Pace and new innovative ways of reaching out to them must be explored. One possibility would be the creation of an adjunct resource network. The network would allow part time faculty to learn about enhanced

4


teaching skills and the integration of technology into their pedagogical models. Once

implemented the resource network would expand each year and would make adjuncts

an active and contributing part of the Pace community.

4. Continue to support distance education initiatives and provide enhanced service to both

the faculty and students.

Assess the effectiveness of the Online Support office and its ability to provide quality

support services. Mid semester and final assessment instruments to faculty and stu-

dents will measure success.

Continue to offer faculty the necessary support with course development and content

creation for their asynchronous course shells including enhanced multimedia.

Develop a marketing plan to promote our Distance Education programs especially the

accelerated Bachelors’ Completion Program.

CTLT has a vital role to play when working with the faculty to achieve this a student centered

and active learning environment. Part of the great diversity of the students is the diversity of

learning styles. All faculty must recognize the different learning styles and adapt their peda-

gogy to support all of the students. Assessment and faculty development are essential to suc-

ceeding in this area.

ID Team Major Activities and Accomplishments in 2009‐2010

Various Faculty Development Initiatives – Throughout the 2009-2010 academic year, numer-

ous initiatives facilitated courseware design and development. Some included:

Monitoring all University WWW and WA courses – The Instructional Design Team ensured

that all WWW & WA courses met minimal quality standards. Through periodic review of cours-

es, one-on-one consultation with faculty and frequent follow-up, these web-enabled courses

were successfully implemented.

Faculty Institute – The Faculty Institute took place on the Pleasantville Campus and consist-

ed of two days of speakers, workshops, and panel presentations. This year’s Faculty Institute

theme was "Diversity: Understanding the Changing Landscape of Learning and Teaching".

Course Development Day – This full-day event featured specialized workshops focused on

implementing Blackboard effectively into new and existing courses as well as current trends in

higher education. We offer basic, as well as advanced Blackboard training.

Blackboard 101 Course – Online Course Tutorial created for Blackboard novices to under-

stand the basics of using the learning management system. This online course shell is the first

part of the comprehensive Teaching Online Certification program.

“Teaching Effectively Online” Faculty Workshop – This five day online intensive workshop

is geared towards the pedagogy of effective online teaching. This seminar is the 2nd part of

the comprehensive Teaching Online Certification program.

Expanded Online Resources – Having available online resources to aid Faculty in

courseware design and development has become increasingly essential to our operation. Our

website, http://www.pace.edu/ctlt has been significantly redesigned and updated to provide

faculty with essential support documentation, as well as interactive tutorials.

Blackboard Migration Support – In preparation for a major upgrade to our Blackboard sys-

tem, CTLT took a very aggressive pro-active response to have the university best prepared

when the software migration was complete. This included numerous training session given

monthly (starting from February 2010 – September 2010), and included in-person training ses-

sions, online webinars and the production of numerous online training materials. Additionally,

our office facilitated evening and weekend hours in an effort to accommodate as many faculty

Instructional Design schedules as possible.

Online Faculty Support – Faculty now have access to a Blackboard Community where they

can find both pedagogical and Blackboard assistance while they are teaching online.

ShareStream – Purchased prior to the Summer II session of 2009 and launched for the Fall

2009 semester, ShareStream software makes course media and faculty lectures available to

students and faculty in a secure web-based environment. CTLT continued to serve as the ad-

ministrator for the server. The ShareStream contract was terminated in July 2010 as a result

of pending litigation on the legality of streaming online movies in their entirety.

Online Support Services Unit Mission Statement

The services provided by the area of Online Support Services are designed to complement

Pace’s commitment to Opportunitas. The area of Online Support Services seeks to provide syn-

chronous and asynchronous support resources to Pace students and faculty involved in dis-

tance education at Pace. Specifically Online Support Services provides information to the uni-

versity community and prospective students about online learning at Pace University through

various communication channels. Furthermore, this area is responsible for providing adminis-

trative support to the Provost’s Council on Distance Education.

Major Activities and Accomplishments in 2009-2010

Proctoring for Online Courses

In an effort to address the needs of our online students and faculty, CTLT provides proctoring

services at the New York City campus and Westchester campus locations for online (WWW)

courses. An online course might be designed in such a way that proctored assessment is criti-

cal. Using proctored services we can provide students with a location for midterm and final

exams. These services also enable faculty to verify that the student taking the exam has fol-

lowed the necessary examination guidelines.

Online Support Services Online Course Evaluations

CTLT continues to administer the Online Course Evaluations. The Early Course Evaluations and

End of Semester evaluations for online courses use this tool that was created by CTLT. Faculty

and chairpersons have instant access to their evaluations in order for them to assess the data

and assist with the development of future online courses. Online Support Services conducted

early course evaluations in the beginning of Fall 2009 and Spring 2010. The results are availa-

ble in Appendix A.

Evening Support Office at Pleasantville Unit Mission Statement

The services provided by the Evening Support Office (ESO) are designed to complement Pace

University’s commitment to Opportunitas. Under the auspices of the Center for Teaching,

Learning and Technology (CTLT), ESO is dedicated to ensure the continuity of university services

to Pace’s evening faculty and students at the Pleasantville Campus by providing information,

administrative resources, and opportunities to facilitate the process of improved teaching and

learning. Additionally, because the majority of evening sessions are taught by Pace’s adjunct

community, ESO recognizes their importance and need for consistent and dedicated support

and training. Furthermore, the ESO Program Coordinator is the budget representative and ad-

ministrative resource for CTLT and the Pforzheimer Center for Faculty Development.

One-on-One Consulting

ESO aims to offer opportunities in areas of information and multimedia technology and

proficiency that will improve the quality of teaching and learning at Pace University. This year

ESO’s numbers have notably increased due to a year round one-on-one consultation

advertisement with faculty. The concentration is to review course PowerPoints and basic

Blackboard functions. Additionally, the Evening Support Office volunteered to reach out to

evening faculty regarding MyPace Portal issues such as password reset, input of grades,

accessing class roasters, pay advice and browser compatibility with their home desktops.

Furthermore, ESO handles copying and classroom issues such as scheduling conflicts and

requests for teaching materials. Figure 9 details the faculty who have benefitted from ESO

services either by face-to-face meetings, email or by phone.

Figure 8 illustrates over 300 faculty from each school who has sought assistance from the Evening Support

Office for academic year 2009-2010. ESO also facilitates numerous calls and emails daily with faculty

and staff seeking assistance and these numbers are reflected in the statistics.

proctoring services for make up quizzes and midterms.

Figure 9. Percentage of students by school who used the Make-Up Exam Service.

Quatrics: Online Survey

In partnership with the Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology, the Office of the Prov-

ost was pleased to make Qualtrics, an entirely web-based, self-service internet survey system,

available to support research, teaching, and administration at Pace University. Qualtrics was

selected by a group of faculty and staff because it combines exceptional ease of use with an

advanced set of features. With this new software, users will be able to easily download their

results into Excel, SPSS, .xml, or .html files. In addition, Qualtrics features customizable reports

with several options of graphs and tables so that users can more attractively and clearly pre-

sent data. Departments and individuals on campus who use the survey software are encour-

aged to begin using Qualtrics immediately to create new surveys.

The ESO Coordinator is currently the designated Brand Administrator, who liaisons between

Qualtrics and the Pace Community. Throughout the 2009-2010 academic year, the Coordina-

tor offered Qualtrics survey tool training to a number of staff and faculty who used the survey

18

Evening Support Office at Pleasantville Other Responsibilities

Even though ESO primarily caters to the needs of evening students and faculty, the Coordina-

tor also manages and maintains CTLT’s and Pforzheimer Center’s administrative and budgetary

affairs. Additionally, the Coordinator liaisons with the following departments:

Academic Scheduling: to address classroom conflicts and emergency room changes. For the

2009-10 academic year, 13 classroom conflicts were resolved and five classroom changes due

to extreme heat, cold or whiteboard malfunction were taken care.

DoIT: to keep abreast of Pace’s Technology policies and procedures, to update Desktop PCs for

the faculty lounge and to maintain the IMO certification. For the 2009-10 academic year, DoIT

released the University’s new online Microsoft Outlook email client. Several adjuncts needed

assistance with retrieving and uploading their contacts and help with the basic functions of the

online email client.

Document Services: to provide a monthly report of the faculty and student copier usage.

Fire Marshall Program: to ensure safety of the students and faculty in an event of a fire. There

were two fire drills, one each for the Fall 2009 and Spring 2010 semesters.

Special Events: to organize and manage the logistics for all of CTLT’s and Pforzheimer’s events.

This academic year there was a total of seven events, some on dual campuses. More infor-

mation is available under CTLT Events and Pforzheimer Center’s Events.

The Verizon Thinkfinity, Teaching and Community Initiative

The Verizon Thinkfinity, Teaching and Community Initiative Pace University Team: Jim Stenerson – Principle Investigator Harriet Feldman – Provost Lindsay Bonilla – Thinkfinity Grant Coordinator Sandy Flank – School of Education Nancy Hale – Seidenberg School of Computer Science Beth Klingner – Dyson College of Arts & Sciences Rey Racelis – University Library Matthew Bonilla – Interim CIO During our third year participating in “The Verizon, Thinkfinity, Teaching, and Community Initi-

ative”, which began in July of 2007, there were a lot of new and exciting events taking place,

as well as, continued successful progress on previous initiatives. This year we continued to

provide funding to faculty, staff, adjunct, and students of the Pace Community under the Prov-

ost’s Grants for the Thinkfinity Initiative, which was set forth to engage in instructional devel-

opment, to assist in the creation of innovative interdisciplinary programs that address the use

of technology, to build on our strong foundation of civic engagement, and to encourage the

Pace Community to study and research the expanding area of interdisciplinary studies involv-

ing technology, especially informatics.

This year 19 grants were awarded totaling $200,000. This funding supported goals of the

grant, which provided a conduit for creative teaching, scholarship, engagement, and innova-

tion. This particular initiative has sought to foster Pace University’s role in becoming a leader

in shaping technology, curriculum and pedagogy at all levels including elementary, secondary,

and post-secondary study. Please see below to view the members of the Provost Grants for

the Thinkfinity Initiative Review Board, and to view this year’s grant recipients and their pro-

jects, please use the following link or see Appendix H.

Jim Stenerson – Center for Teaching, Learning, & Technology

In addition to our continued success through grant funding here at Pace, we also continued

the work under Cornerstone I in the K-12 schools. Given the success of this initiative in the

past, we have continued to reach out and train teachers in undeserved schools to teach with

technology in their pedagogy. This year, we continued our work with the teachers from John

F. Kennedy Magnet School, the Columbus School in New Rochelle, and Good Counsel High

School, as well as, adding on Bronxville High School and Croton elementary, middle, and high

schools. These teachers are trained on how to use Thinkfinity in their classroom, as well as

receiving smart board training. The training project consists of three stages - introduction,

group sessions and individual sessions. In the introduction, potential participants attended an

overview session, in which a Pace instructor showed them Thinkfinity, and demonstrated se-

lected sites that showed how technology could add value to a traditional lesson. After learn-

ing basic Thinkfinity search techniques, participants are invited to spend some time exploring

the site, and are encouraged to share lessons and interactive activities they found. Teachers

are then asked to identify one or more areas of the curriculum in which they would look for

resources in Thinkfinity, and put together a lesson or other learning activity. Teachers learned

how each of the Verizon Thinkfinity partner sites is organized, the best search techniques,

strengths and weaknesses of each partner, and they identify and take note of some of the

sites appropriate for their own classes. In the final stage of the project, teachers start con-

structing one or more learning activities using Thinkfinity resources, working one on one with

a Pace instructor.

Pace is also excited about some new technologies and updates that have been made possible

through the grant funding. We were able to build an Assistive Technology lab on the Pleas-

antville Campus in Wilcox Hall room #21. We are really excited about this new room that has

been updated with some really fantastic new equipment as well as furniture.

21

We have changed the layout of the room to make it a more collaborative space and it now

consists of 14 Touchscreen computers, 10 laptop/tablets, and a SMART board with wireless

airliners to be accessed from anywhere in the room. The new room also we have also con-

tains two motorized wheel chair accessible desks, a ramp to the room, and a wider door for

easier accessibility. In addition, the Pace University Second Life Island project has been contin-

ually making progress and a class conducted by Martha Driver in Medieval Literature actually

took place there this year. We hope to unveil the island to the university in the Spring 2011

semester and have high hopes that in the future Pace Island will be a place where your avatar

can view informational videos, tour the campus, view virtual research facilities, hold events, or

see a sample class.

We continue to update our Digital Commons with reports and updates on the initiatives that

we are undertaking in thanks to the Verizon Foundation’s Thinkfinity grant. This year we add-

ed a new section consisting of Differentiated Lesson Plans categorized by subject and grade

level which were produced by Professor Roberta Wiener’s School of Education classes. Please

visit http://digitalcommons.pace.edu/thinkfinity/ to research further and get a better under-

standing of what has been accomplished to date.

2010 Summer Scholar—in—Residence

The Summer Scholar-in-Residence program allows Network faculty to come to New York Uni-

versity during the month of June to engage in research, develop curricula, and/or produce

manuscripts for publication. The program allows Scholars to explore new dimensions in their

disciplines, to engage in intellectual exchange and investigate resources not available to them

at their home institutions, to broaden their own pedagogical expertise, to enrich existing

courses or create new ones, and to expand professional contacts. Participation in the SIR pro-

gram not only enhances the faculty members’ knowledge and skills, but also significantly con-

tributes to the intellectual environment of their home institutions as they share what they

learn with their colleagues and students. The following Pace representatives participated in

the 2009 Summer Scholar-in-Residence:

CTLT Events

The Center for Teaching, Learning & Technology and Pforzheimer sponsored and hosted a

variety of professional development activities during 2009-2010 to enhance the teaching

experience of Pace’s faculty members. These workshops are open to all faculty and all schools

covering of various topics of interest to the faculty community. From learning to use

specialized software to exploring specialized uses of the web, CTLT has helped Pace faculty

develop pedagogical and technical skills.

2010 Teaching with Technology Day (TWT)

This bi-annual, dual-campus event is one of CTLT’s premier pedagogical events. Through a

round-table discussion and hands-on software training, this day-long seminar has several

workshops focused on implementing Blackboard technology effectively into new and existing

courses. It is geared to the faculty member who is unfamiliar with Blackboard but would like to

see how incorporating Blackboard into the course curriculum would enhance the students’

classroom experience. It is also for the faculty member who already uses Blackboard and is

seeking to maximize its potential as a hybrid model for online learning. Some of the different

ways to use the discussion board, grade-book feature, and incorporate learning materials and

additional resources were looked at to enhance the student’s learning process. Therefore,

seasoned Blackboard users as well as the novice user were welcomed.

In 2010, TWT Day workshops were facilitated by CTLT Staff. On January 12th (on the

Pleasantville Campus) and January 13th (in Pace NY), CTLT hosted its spring semester TWT

Day. A special lunch-time presentation, “Sneak Peek into Blackboard 9 incorporating Library

Resources” was facilitated by Joe Seijo and Sarah Burns-Feyl. A copy of the TWT Day program

is available as Appendix B.

On August 24th (Pleasantville Campus) and August 25th (One Pace Plaza) of 2010, CTLT’s

summer TWT Day was held. A copy of the TWT Day program is available as Appendix C.

students involved in Distributed Education. She has recently used social networking to connect

with students by sharing pertinent information about online learning, including Blackboard

outages, registration, and academic advising. Furthermore, in an effort to reach a broader

range of students, Danielle initiated Blackboard Help tables on various days throughout the

semester on both campuses. She also facilitates the Online Learning Orientation Community

in Blackboard, as well as updates the online.pace.edu website with the latest information on

Joseph Seijo – Courseware Designer

Serving in his primary role, for the majority of the year, as Courseware Designer for the In-

structional Design team, Joe was responsible for supporting (through various meetings and

workshops) group and individual faculty members from all schools with their initial, as well as

ongoing, use of the Blackboard software for both asynchronous and/or hybrid courses. He fa-

cilitated numerous workshops during our semester Course Development Days, and faced the

challenge of making sure faculty were prepared and comfortable using the new version of the

University’s learning management system, Blackboard – which was going through its second

major upgrade in just little over a year. The ID team, though short-handed due to staffing is-

sues, continued to offer faculty support for the current version of Blackboard through the Fall

2009 and Spring 2010 semesters, as well as offer extended support for the upcoming version .

Joe also serves as the University resource for the digitizing and creating of streaming media.

He continues to gain extensive knowledge with regard to digitizing hardware and software

used to manipulate and create various formats of media. He assisted numerous faculty with

the incorporation of streaming media into their respective Blackboard courses and other cur-

riculum related projects. Joe facilitated two, five-day online seminars, in January & August

2010, geared towards teaching effectively online, understanding some of the challenges stu-

dents have getting started with online learning, online assessment, as well as design and criti-

cal elements of asynchronous teaching. The online seminar is one part of a three-part compre-

hensive Teaching Online Certification program, which has been redesigned and fully imple-

mented. Joe continues to support and administrate the University’s initiative to create a pres-

ence on Apple’s widely popular “iTunes U” site. Launched just at the end of the 2008 academic

year, Pace on iTunes U continues to accept numerous donations of media content from facul-

ty, as well as University departments showcasing student talent, faculty demonstrations, as

well as prominent University Special Events.

In July of 2010, Joe was promoted to Assistant Director for CTLT and assumed control of the

Instructional Design team. Joe was thrilled to accept the new responsibilities bestowed upon

him and immediately began to formulate a comprehensive set of goals for the Instructional

Design team moving forward. One of his first tasks was to recruit a new Courseware Designer

to fill the role voided by Joe’s promotion, which was accomplished by September of the new

academic year.
