"Everyone thinks online education doesn't work. But the truth is that we can actually deliver better education online." Professor Aspen Olmsted is the director of Tandon Online's Cyber Fellows program and an adjunct in Tandon's Computer Science and Engineering department.  He obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from The University of South Carolina. Before his academic career, he was CEO of Alliance Software Corporation, where he developed N-Tier enterprise applications for the performing arts and humanities market.  Sr. Instructional Designer, Jay Leibowitz, recently met via Zoom with Mr. Olmsted to discuss his work implementing peer assessment in Tandon Online's Cyber Fellows program. Jay Leibowitz: Thanks for taking the time to talk with me today. I’m particularly interested in discussing with you your use of Peer Assessment in online learning and the reasons this practice has become a core component of Tandon Online’s Cyber Fellows prog...

Reposted from the FITL blog . The The Faculty Innovations in Teaching and Learning Center sat down with industry professor Joseph Borowiec to learn about how using instructional technology has enhanced student learning. In Senior Design I (ME-UY 4112) and Senior Design II (ME-UY 4113), mechanical engineering students apply their knowledge and skills obtained from earlier course work into the product design, development, and creation of prototype hardware. As part of the capstone design experience, students are expected to utilize their collaboration skills in all aspects of the two-part course sequence. Professor Joseph Borowiec, who joined the faculty at NYU Tandon in 2009, has taught Senior Design I and II for a number of years. As a licensed professional engineer, he understands the importance of providing hands-on, authentic learning experiences as his students prepare to begin their careers as innovative mechanical engineers. Supporting Instruction with Technology An important el...
