These sessions are an opportunity for you to tell us about the kinds of technologies for teaching, learning and research you think Middlebury should invest in.  We particularly encourage Language School faculty to stop by and give us feedback about your use of technology for teaching languages.

We will also discuss some of the ideas we have for alternatives to Segue including Moodle, Drupal, WordPress, Google Sites and MediaWiki.

A Segue from Segue advisory group (SAG) has been formed that includes of the following participants:

• Amy Morsman (Associate Professor of History)
• Claudia Cooper (Director Education Studies Program, Visiting Assistant Professor of English & American Literature & Education Studies)
• Sasha Woolson – (Visiting Lecturer in Spanish)
• Ray Coish (Professor of Geology)
• Erik Fendik ’12

The purpose of this advisory group is to provide input and guidance to the Curricular Technology team that will help identify stakeholders and engage the college community in the process of selecting one or more replacements for Segue.
