Nikki Reynolds, director of instructional technology support services, Janet Simons, instructional technology specialist, and Susan Mason, director of the Education Studies Program, presented a paper in January at the 2008 EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative Annual Meeting in San Antonio. The paper was titled "Building the Scaffolding: Supporting Student Use of Technology in the Learning Process."
The EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI) is a community of higher education institutions and organizations committed to advancing learning through IT innovation. The conference theme "Connecting and Reflecting: Preparing Learners for Life 2.0" explored educational approaches that connect learners and researchers across multiple disciplines through face-to-face and virtual communities that are characterized by creativity, critical thinking, communication and reflection. Reynolds, Simons and Mason described Hamilton's highly tailored scaffolding process that operates through a collaboration of several academic units to support student use of technology in learning.
