Meeting Brings Ohio University, HBCU Officials Together for Collaboration: Beginning this week, six faculty at Ohio’s Central State University began talking among themselves about iPods, social media, clouds, Skype and other information technology tools.That’s just the way Dr. Juliette Bell, provost and vice president for academic affairs at Central State, wants them to spend some of their time after attending last weekend’s Interlink Alliance conference that focused on teaching the perpetually wired millennial student.
“Many faculty still use the old lecture format and many of today’s students are more accustomed to a faster pace technology way of doing things,” she said. “So getting [students] engaged is really more difficult if you’re using the old lecture format.”
