Faculty members in the chemistry and nursing departments received awards for their innovative teaching methods using technology.

Deborah Bambini, assistant professor of nursing, and Deborah Harrington, assistant professor of chemistry, received the Pew Faculty Teaching with Technology awards March 26. The awards were presented during the seventh annual Teaching and Learning with Technology Fair.

Bambini was recognized for being an early adaptee of multiple forms of technology and engaging her students in Wiki and Webquest projects. She is also a consistent presenter during brown bag workshops, hosted by Educational Technology.

The award committee noted that Harrington was a pioneer in the adoption of using clickers to track student learning in large classes. She also organizes and works with Online Web-based Learning for assignments.
