E-Learning in CoAS

As you may already be aware, the University has had considerable discussions regarding e-Learning over the last year or so. While e-Learning has multiple definitions, it is clear that the utilization of various technologies in our classes is an avenue that needs to be carefully explored, evaluated, and implemented where appropriate. In order to facilitate the activities within the College, I have appointed a Coordinator of e-Learning. Dr. Jean-Claude Bradley, Associate Professor of Chemistry, has agreed to serve in this capacity. Dr. Bradley has not only utilized web-based technology in his courses of e-Learning in CoAS, but has also published on his results in this area. He will have an office within the Dean's Office Suite to make him more available to help you in these activities. For a summary of e-Learning in CoAS, please see the e-Learning in CoAS page.

Research Funding

Almost $5 million in new research awards has been received by the College in FY 2004. Notably, Dr. Mary K. Howett, Head of the Department of Bioscience and Biotechnology and Dr. Steve McMillan, the Department of Physics, each received awards of over $1 million, one from the National Institutes of Health and the other from the National Science Foundation.
