We at Ball State pride ourselves in being known as a university at the forefront of using digital technology in the teaching and learning process. By virtue of that commitment, we are being stretched—literally across national borders, as Stacy Norman’s architecture students demonstrate, and into new forms, as innovative theater in the hands of Rodger Smith shows.

We are creating new tools—for curricular reform, as evidenced by the teacher training and assessment instruments devised by Laurie Mullen and Matthew Stuve, and for dramatically “getting the picture” of social service in simulated case studies conceptualized by Dwight Hymans.

We are embracing the enormous benefits that come from a shared high tech agenda with industry affiliates as practiced by the Software Engineering Research Center under the direction of Wayne and Dolores Zage.

These are but brief glimpses of a dynamic technological environment on our campus. We invite you to explore these and other stories on this Web site and to delve more deeply into how the application of technology impacts our students.
