Professor Jeffrey Ruoff named DCAL Fellow for2006-2007
The Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning (DCAL) is pleased to
announce that Jeffrey Ruoff, Assistant Professor in the Department of Film and
Television Studies, will enjoy a DCAL Fellowship for Teaching and
Technology in the summer term of 2006. DCAL Fellowships enable Dartmouth
professors to develop and apply specific technological solutions to a
particular teaching problem or challenge. With a reduced course load and
the support of professionals in curricular computing, media production and the
library, Professor Ruoff will concentrate on learning to adopt sophisticated
graphics software for his course in documentary and experimental videomaking,
Film Studies 30 and 36.
Along with updating his software and digital editing skills, Professor Ruoff
plans to re-design the website he uses for his courses so that students can use
it to share their videos online, creating vlogs (video blogs). Students
will also be able to prepare for class critiques by viewing each other's work
on the course website, allowing Ruoff and his students to use their classroom
time more effectively. The site will also showcase an archive of student
videos for use on- and off-campus. DCAL offers the fellowships annually to
assistant, associate and full professors in the Arts & Sciences.

Fellowship page.
