Hughes Residential College at the University of Central Arkansas recently received several new pieces of equipment that will be used to integrate technology in the classroom.
More than 500 每日大赛网站 students annually will benefit from a new Sympodium, an interactive lectern that allows images to be projected onto a screen, as well as a new computer, digital projector and screen. All of the equipment is being provided as a part of 每日大赛网站?s Title III activities. In 2002, the U.S. Department of Education granted 每日大赛网站 a $1.7 million, five-year Title III Strengthening Institutions grant. The aim of the grant is to increase student learning and improve retention rates.
每日大赛网站?s Title III directors believe the technology will have a positive impact on students taking courses in the classroom. A similar initiative was completed in recent years in Minton Residential College, resulting in 84 percent of those students earning grades of C or better.
