Skip to main content Skip to navigation Learning Innovations Enhancing teaching and learning with technology Who We Are Learning Innovations is one of the five pillars of WSU’s Academic Outreach and Innovation (AOI). AOI’s Learning Innovations initiative serves to discover, implement and support academic technology that increases faculty efficiency and enhances student access and engagement. AOI works with all faculty—both on campus and online—to create an environment where innovative pedagogy can flourish, wise experimentation is supported, and all learners receive the most robust and rewarding educational experience possible. What We Do Ultimately, teaching is about fostering learning; technology does not replace pedagogy. There are many technology tools that will enhance great teaching thereby increasing student engagement, learning, and retention. The goal of the AOI Learning Innovations team is to provide support to faculty looking for ideas to overcome common teaching challenges often through the application of academic technology. Technology can help to address many situations, from serving as an early alert warning system to identify students at risk or providing an immediate back-up plan for unforeseen situations, to increasing connection with students in large enrollment courses and teaching efficiency. The AOI Learning Innovations Team can assist you in designing courses, activities, and assessments that: align with your course learning goals (Instructional Design); select and implement the right academic technology tool (Emerging Techs); create rich media objects that convey course content in easily digestible ways (Media team); and more.
