As a takeoff on the popular Bravo reality TV series Project Runway, Project Technology follows five UW-L faculty in and out of the classroom as they attempt to effectively integrate technology into their curriculum and teaching to enhance student learning.  Featured in the program are Cecelia Manrique, Rick Rodrick, Jamie Schneider, Bob Hoar, and Brian Udermann.  Learn and see firsthand how faculty members struggled with and mastered new technologies. In the end, the program highlights the challenges of faculty teaching with technology, and the world of IT.  Learn how faculty deal with issues such as time, help and support, classroom environments, IT infrastructure, and teaching style. Project technology promotes a better understanding of the issues and opportunities. "Watch what can happen."
