Tech Mentoring: Introduction and Background

written by admin on Tue, 07/19/2005 - 03:49.

Tech Mentoring is a portion of the Introductory Composition Program at Purdue University.  The tech mentors run a number of information sessions throughout the semester to prepare first-time Purdue instructors to navigate technological concerns on campus.  We also run numerous workshops designed to help instructors take full advantage of their weekly computer-lab days.  The technical mentor program also seeks to be a continuing resource for all IC@P instructors even after they finish the required portion of their first year training.  To that end, we periodically run department wide workshops throughout the semester and aim to provide a storehouse of resources and discussion via this website.

Mentees currently enrolled in English 505 may find additional information below the jump.
