Boston College: Balancing Technology and Tradition - Rita R. Owens, Syllabus
The Internet has changed everything, including education at some of the world’s oldest and most traditional institutions. Here at Boston College, we honor our academic traditions and zealously preserve the standards that have consistently ranked us among the nation’s top universities. At the same time, eLearning has touched everyone on our campus, and we’ve managed to balance technology and tradition. One of our Jesuit professors, for example, is having the time of his acadaemic life with e-Learning—at 74 years old. The professor asks his philosophy students to discuss topics over the Internet before and after regular classroom sessions. Students can post their arguments anonymously. Only the professor knows who said what and the peers know only that a classmate has posted a comment.
