Depending on your teaching goals and assessment strategies, educational technology can be a great asset to your Princeton class. The McGraw Center strives not only to provide tools and technologies in support of teaching and learning but to foster a dialogue around the purposeful and thoughtful uses of technology in higher education. A purposeful use of technology in teaching and learning is one in which the selection and integration of technology and new media as part of the curriculum is driven primarily by a consideration of teaching and learning goals. In partnership with faculty, we support a wide array of technologies and platforms that encourage the creative and thoughtful uses of technology in education. Call for Digital Pedagogy Grant Proposals The Digital Learning and Design group in The McGraw Center invites proposals from faculty, or a faculty member in partnership with a graduate student, to develop digital pedagogy projects. The deadline has passed for 2024. A new call for proposals will be open in November 2024 for the following Spring and Fall semesters.
