metaphorically after the backyard sandbox of our childhood. the
environment is relaxed and geared toard faculty that are at the beginning or
intermediate level of technical experience. The Sandbox is dedicated to
Western faculty and Teaching Assistants who wish to explore instructional
technolog solutions for their course. It is equipped with both Windows
and Mac computers which are hooked to peripheral devices such as
scanners, CD burners and other external devices. A major goal of the Faculty
Sandbox is to help faculty become comfortable with the changes in teaching and
learning brought about by the computer and toher related technologies.
Emphasis is placed on helping faculty learn and apply new skills and abilities
in their classrooms and offices.
Laura Chapman, Faculty Training Specialist is available to help faculty learn
the skills needed to create many different electronic instructional materials.
The Sandbox is open from 8:30 - 5:00 PM Monday through Friday. You may drop in,
but if you require assistance an appointment can be made b calling Laura at
