The 361° Model for Transforming Teaching and Learning with Technology - Dennis A. Trinkle, Educause Quarterly
....Several years ago, DePauw faculty, students, and staff recognized the potential of technology to enrich learning and grasped that DePauw’s historic mission as a liberal arts college required graduating students prepared to succeed and thrive in a broadly digital culture. Consequently, DePauw established the goal of becoming a national model for using technology to enhance liberal arts education and to enrich the college experience. To set the right philosophical and procedural frame, DePauw named its initiatives 361° to capture the goal of preparing students for every path of life after graduation (the 360 degrees) and to create new paths (the additional degree of leadership and innovation). From the beginning, the programs focused on alignment with the institution’s historic culture, values, and mission—a dedication to effective teaching and learning and to a liberal arts education designed to prepare students for life’s work.
