ELI Discovery Tool: Guide to Podcasting
| Title: | ELI Discovery Tool: Guide to Podcasting (ID: ELI8005) | | Origin: | Contributed by EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (2007) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | The ELI Discovery Tool: Guide to Podcasting provides an overview of the technology, case studies, user perspectives, and implementation strategies. A "know-before-you-go" compendium, the Discovery Tool is designed to assist academic technology centers, IT units, and others in making the case for integrating podcasting into teaching and learning. If you are familiar with podcasting but are curious how it could be used in teaching and learning, this guide will recap what podcasting is; give you first-hand accounts of how students use—and don't use—podcasting; show how podcasting supports learning; explain the benefits and limitations of podcasting in comparison with other tools; highlight implementation and assessment considerations; and identify valuable podcasting resources. | | View this resource: | |
ELI Innovations & Implementations - Instructional Development Initiative (IDI)
| Title: | ELI Innovations & Implementations - Instructional Development Initiative (IDI) (ID: ELI5004) | | Origin: | Contributed by EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (2005) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | In 1993, the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University launched the Instructional Development Initiative (IDI), using technology to foster curricular and pedagogical innovation. IDI set in motion a series of carefully managed investments, resulting in a suite of high-profile, campus-wide professional programs for faculty and staff. As a result, Virginia Tech has been recognized nationally for its achievements in engaging faculty in the sharing of successful strategies; expanding the range of active learning experiences available to students; providing a replicable model for other institutions; and managing resources while supporting innovation in an era of continual budget constraints. ELI's Innovations & Implementations series highlights innovative teaching, learning, and technology practices in higher education. Each Innovations & Implementations piece provides a practical overview of an innovation, focusing on its significance and implementation issues. Use Innovations & Implementations to explore innovative practices that might be of value to your institution. | | View this resource: | |
Transforming Teaching in a Technology-Enabled Learner-Centered
World: True Enterprisewide Change Requires Faculty Development, Support, and Rewards
| Title: | Transforming Teaching in a Technology-Enabled Learner-Centered
World: True Enterprisewide Change Requires Faculty Development, Support, and Rewards (ID: NLI0351) | | Author(s): | Wendy Rickard | | Origin: | Contributed by EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (2003) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | Higher education administrators must understand the challenges presented to faculty by the revolutionary changes being made by the new teaching and learning technologies and by the pressures created by the new students entering the academy. Faculty vary considerably in both their abilities and their attitudes toward the new technologies and institutionally-based attempts to engage the faculty must take these variations into account in order to be successful.The NLII has looked at some strategies that administrators can use to successfully engage faculty and to effectively transform teaching and learning using technology. This article highlights five approaches presented at the NLII annual meeting in New Orleans which addressed faculty engagement and development, presenting case studies and findings to help guide institutional leaders in their understanding of the complex nature of faculty attitudes, motivations, cultures, and abilities. A summary of NLII resources and activities (past, present and planned) on Faculty Engagement is also provided. | | View this resource: | |
