Dear Faculty Colleagues,

Thanks to everyone who attended our recent DOLCE on innovative and engaging teaching with multiple media. Presenters Walter Leal and Rebecca Lybrand reminded us with their talks why they are so popular and effective in the classroom. The remarkable use of videos from the field and close-up photography inspired everyone present to consider new ways to support their classes with media and to take advantage of the Educational Technology Resource Awards (ETRA) offered by Academic Technology Services.
