ABSTRACT
Williams Instructional Technology (WIT) is a summer technology intern program hosted by the Office for Information Technology at Williams College. The WIT program started in 1997 as part of an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation grant. The goals of the program are to develop high quality web, video, multimedia, and other curriculum-related projects proposed by faculty to use in teaching; to provide an opportunity for faculty/student collaboration; and to provide technical and project development training for students. The faculty-proposed projects range from video/audio creation, 3D modeling, Geographic Information Systems, web design, animation, to data visualization. Project types undertaken and program management styles have changed over the ten years the program has been offered. This paper will present an overview of the WIT and examine the program's outcomes.
