My Internship with the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology (CTLT) at Murray State University

by Carthell, Alicia J.

In this report I discuss my internship with the Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT) at Murray State University (MSU) in Murray, Kentucky. The internship lasted from September 2004 to May 2005. For my internship, I developed two projects. The first project was the Blackboard Tutor, a tutorial I designed to help familiarize students with the Blackboard Learning System. The Blackboard Tutor contains 7 lessons, a quiz for six of the lessons, and a survey. The Computer Maintenance Guide for the MSU campus community, which contains 11 lessons, was the second project that I developed. The Guide, available on RacerNet, MSU’s intranet, serves as a resource tool that instructs faculty, staff, and students on how to perform daily and weekly maintenance tasks on their computers. In this report, I discuss both projects. At the end of the report, I reflect upon my internship experience with the CTLT.
