          Round Table Discussion about Plan Implementation

               Here are three questions for the discussion.

1.   How does the pedagogy articulated in the DOTS program (UbD, DI, Project-based, Student-Centered, etc.) align with your current planned or required work with your faculty, and how do you plan to take advantage of that?

2.  What ways (creative or otherwise) are you planning to systematically build faculty competency of tech tools (specifically Web 2.0 type tools), and connecting these to effective pedagogical practice,  into your professional development scheme?

3.  What incentives, levers, etc. are you planning to use to shift your faculty farther down the road to student centered transformation as exemplified by the scenarios and the SAMR model?
