For most students, orientation means sitting through hours of presentations and speeches. At NYU Stern’s MBA program, it’s a little bit different. Since 2013, new students participate in the Langone Lab, a two-day experiential program. Students participate in a design-thinking experience where they use cutting-edge mobile technology and applications to come up with actual product prototypes that they present to professors and peers.
Teaching & Learning
Teaching Practices & Technology Platforms
While the addition of technology into teaching practices is a growing trend in curriculum design, providing support for faculty on effective implementation strategies is becoming an even more critical piece of the equation.
Student Groups Encourage Data Access
For NYU’s student developers, writing code is not always the most challenging part; it is getting access to the large amount of data that a successful app requires.
Coding 101
Codecademy offers interactive online instruction in a variety of programming languages—all at no cost. Recently, they have teamed up with NYU’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development to offer students the chance to learn coding in both a classroom and online environment.
The Digital Studio: NYU’s Front Door for Technology and Scholarship
The Digital Studio, a collaboration of NYU Libraries and Information Technology Services, offers a wide range of services in support of research and instruction, including video and audio capture; production and publication; live audio and video capture; and photo, slide, and text scanning.
Teaching in a Networked Age
Clay Shirky explores the potential for digital tools to fundamentally change not only teaching, but academia at large. His talk was simultaneously a call to action and a reminder that although they can be helpful in connecting people, these tools are not a replacement for the face-to-face interactions.
Betaville: Engaging Students (and Communities)
One of the primary goals of the 2012 Teaching with Technology Conference was to inspire attendees with concrete examples of the innovative and effective ways that NYU instructors are enhancing their pedagogy with technology.
Video Games & the Future of Learning
Digital games have become an integral part of the daily lives of millions of individuals, and are increasingly recognized for their potential as environments for supporting learning.
Where the City Meets the Sea
As NYU aspires to become a Global Network University, it faces challenges. How can we best offer advanced courses in the sciences at our global sites? How can we bridge the gap between instruction and research? How do we develop courses that relate to the specific locations yet have a global scope?
Stern’s Use of Paperless Technology a Success
Though many predicted a paperless age with the proliferation of computers, that promise has remained largely unrealized. However, with recent developments in mobile device and tablet technologies that enhance portability and improve interactivity with digital documents, the idea may at long last be nearing fruition.
