1996 National Engineering Faculty Forum: An Interactive Teleconference Series to Share Best Practices in Undergraduate Engineering Education

每月一系列的互动卫星电话会议是交付给教师谁教本科工程专业的学生。 每次电视广播都有一个创新的“最佳做法”，可供与会者采用/调整。1996年DUE国家工程学院论坛建立在成功的第一年的八个电话会议，重点是本科工程教育。共有1 299所学院和大学以及8 932名个人参加了1995年系列的前六次研讨会，平均有157个机构参加，据报每次研讨会平均有1 489人出席。 利用万维网和因特网来支持教师论坛系列活动的情况显著增加。网络服务器现在包含描述即将举行的研讨会的预先信息以及回顾性数据，使教师能够订购以前研讨会的录像带。 演讲者在广播前通过电子邮件征求意见，并鼓励在演讲后进行电子对话。1996年，NTU在这一广泛接受的基础上提供电子注册。传真传输和在线评估。鼓励教师进入转学机构和社区学院的运动正在加强。 NTU与NSF/DUE计划主任合作，以确定主题和演讲者。 1996年，NTU正在制作、销售、提供和评估七个一小时的交互式电话会议，免费提供给教职员工。复制和重复使用会议录像带以及向每个注册学院/大学提供的印刷材料的许可证是这个具有成本效益的项目的组成部分。

A monthly series of interactive satellite teleconferences is delivered to faculty who teach undergraduate engineering students. Each telecast features an innovative "best practice" which can be adopted/adapted by participants. The 1996 DUE National Engineering Faculty Forum builds on a successful first year of eight teleconferences which focused on undergraduate engineering education. A total of 1299 colleges and universities and 8,932 individuals participated in the first six of the 1995 series, the average number of institutions was 157 with a reported average attendance of 1,489 per seminar. The use of the WWW and Internet to support the Faculty Forum Series has grown significantly. The Web server now contains advance information describing upcoming seminars as well as retrospective data to enable faculty to order videotapes of prior seminars. Presenters solicit input via e-mail prior to broadcast and encourage electronic dialog after their presentation. In 1996, NTU is building on this broad acceptance to provide for electronic registration. FAX transmission and on-line evaluation. The campaign to encourage attendance by instructors at transfer institutions and community colleges is increasing. NTU works with the NSF/DUE Program Directors to identify topics and presenters. NTU is producing, marketing, delivering and evaluating seven one-hour, interactive teleconferences in 1996, which are provided to faculty participants without charge. A license to copy and reuse videotapes of the Teleconferences as well as the printed material provided to each registered college/university is integral to this cost-effective project.
