The University of Central Arkansas Honors College today is hosting the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC) Workshop on Technology in Education.
“UCA continues to be a leader in honors college education,” said UCA President Lu Hardin in his welcoming remarks this morning. “As the home of the first honors college in Arkansas, UCA is a place other universities consult about how to construct a world-class honors college.”
The workshop, which runs through Sunday, is a partnership of the NCHC and UCA’s Honors College, and it aims to educate and empower participants in the principles and practices of using technology to enhance honors programs and colleges.
Participants include deans of honors colleges from some of the largest universities in the nation.
Sessions will examine uses of technology in the classroom, in administration (such as record keeping, communication, and recruiting), and in the establishment of a strong web presence with dynamic websites and decentralized content management strategies.
UCA’s Honors College is celebrating its 25th anniversary, and is one of only five degree-granting honors colleges in the nation. It was one of the first honors colleges established in the nation, and it is one of the most fully developed honors colleges.
The Honors College serves UCA and the larger community by providing a specially designed curriculum of interdisciplinary studies for academically talented and motivated undergraduate students. More information is available at (501) 450-3198 or http://www.uca.edu/divisions/academic/honors.
