Illinois College faculty members participated in a two-week, on-campus technology seminar funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation this month.

Part of the training included a two day course on learning the power of social media and how faculty can share their stories with the world on CNN iReport.

 

The two day class was featured on CNN’s iReport and can be viewed at http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-816508.

In 2009, Illinois College received a $100,000 grant from the Mellon Foundation for a multi-year program to support faculty members as they incorporate information literacy into student assignments and classroom learning.

This is the final year for the summer training program. A total of 36 faculty members participated in the three-year program.
