August 2008 Archives

I had the pleasure of spending a couple of hours talking with the Faculty at Penn State Mont Alto about our students and ways to engage them.  It was a great time!  We spent our time looking at PSU and national trends about students' technology use and explored new ways to integrate technology into teaching and learning.  I wrote about it on my personal blog.

Scott McDonald and I presented our thoughts from our C&I 597C: Disruptive Technologies for Teaching and Learning course at the Learning Design Summer Camp.  We shared our feelings about how integrating several layers of social opportunities into the design of the course produced some very interesting and surprising outcomes.

Later this week I will travel to beautiful Madison, WI to take part in an invited panel forum, "Strategic directions for institutional support of blended and distance education."  I am presenting with a couple others and we should have a good time.  My portion of the talk is related to the work we've been doing to create an infrastructure to support faculty and students in the use of media for digital expression.  I am looking forward to visiting Madison and speaking at an event that is more distance education focused.  When the talk is complete, I will post a PDF of my slides.

Slides are now available.
