Bannon Named to APT Educational Advisory Board
The Alabama Public Television Authority's educational division, known as APTPlus, recently invited the College of Education's Susan Bannon to serve on its advisory board. Dr. Bannon, Learning Resources Center director and associate professor, was asked to serve to bring a perspective for how APT can help pre-service educators in Alabama. Bannon was also instrumental in implementing the APTPlus services in the college, including United Streaming digital video service. Other advisory board members include representatives of the Alabama State Department of Education Technology Initiatives Section and several K-12 teachers; however, Dr. Bannon is the only higher education professional on the board. The College of Education's Learning Resources Center, under the direction of Dr. Bannon, assists students, faculty and staff with effective use of technology in the learning and teaching process. Graphic design, technology assistance, word processing and video/audio/multimedia production are among the center's services.
