Description:

This mini-track is designed to share the experiences of researchers on the use of information technologies in education (all disciplines) in Universities and at K-12 level. These papers are expected to build the skills and knowledge needed by instructors to integrate information technology in education of students. Innovative instructional materials and student assessments, as well as new models for the delivery of teacher professional development could enable all students to achieve their full potential. In particular, papers that address the goal of increasing the access, participation, and success of women, underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities with information technologies are welcome. The authors who present under this track will be encouraged to revise their papers and submit them to the Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research (www.jstem.org) for possible publication.

The mini-track will focus on:

• Web-based teaching
• Multimedia technologies
• Multidisciplinary courses
• Innovative educational methods
• Assessment results
• Tutorials on integrating information technology in education
• Research on using IT in classes
• Bringing real-world issues into classrooms
