| Title: | Supporting the Integration of Digital Assets in Learning, Teaching, and Scholarly Communication (ID: EDU0493) | | Author(s): | Oya Y. Rieger (Cornell University) | | Origin: | Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/21/2004) | | Type: | Presentations/Speeches | | Abstract: | The presentation will describe Cornell University Library's Digital Consulting and Production Services (DCAPS) department, which supports the development of e-scholarship models that draw on the library's expertise working with digital content. DCAPS offers a suite of digital asset management services, including digitization, copyright, metadata, technology support, and e-publishing. | | View this resource: | |
Digitally Invested: Teaching and Learning with Online Images
| Title: | Digitally Invested: Teaching and Learning with Online Images (ID: EDU9940) | | Author(s): | Sharon P. Pitt (James Madison University) | | Origin: | Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (1999) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | The Digital Image Database instructional system was developed in response to increased student enrollment generated by the new General Education program at James Madison University. Already utilizing its resources to the fullest, the Visual Resources Center projected its inability to meet demands of added course sections and instructors. In 1998, faculty members were awarded an in-house grant from the Center for Instructional Technology to develop a system to alleviate this strain. This system is an example of how technology can positively impact faculty and student success when appropriately integrated into the teaching and learning process. This paper encompasses project development and design, cost, instructional impact, institutional impact, and faculty and student assessment. | | View this resource: | |
Agricultural Pest Diagnosis Using Imaging Technologies
| Title: | Agricultural Pest Diagnosis Using Imaging Technologies (ID: EDU9921) | | Author(s): | Brian T. Watson (University of Georgia) and Edward Brown (University of Georgia) | | Origin: | Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (1999) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | The Distance Diagnostics through Digital Imaging project enhances the ability of the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service to evaluate and propose solutions for agricultural problems, including plant diseases and pests, through the use of digital imaging and the World Wide Web. Imaging stations consisting of computers, digital cameras, microscopes and image-capture devices have been deployed in 94 county offices and in 3 diagnostic labs. To date, over 1,200 samples consisting of more than 3,600 digital images have been processed. This paper will focus on the outreach educational benefits of this technology to Georgia citizens. Aspects of the project to be covered include a description of the Georgia Extension Service and an overview of the project, initial planning, stories, lessons learned, implications to distance learning, and plans for the future. | | View this resource: | |
VISC: Creating a Visual Resource System to Improve Teaching and Learning
| Title: | VISC: Creating a Visual Resource System to Improve Teaching and Learning (ID: EDU9929) | | Origin: | Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (1999) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | Faced with the challenge of providing access to an architecture slide collection to students and faculty on two campuses, the University of Colorado developed an application utilizing state-of-the-art client-server and Web technology to catalog and display information on over 27,000 slides. A collaborative effort of the College of Architecture and Planning and the Information and Technology Services Department, the Visual Information System of Colorado (VISC) provides information about the slide subject and circulation and reservation information about each slide. A lecture module included in VISC enhances faculty support by enabling faculty to reserve and assign slides for specific lectures. This paper will provide an overview of VISC, a summary of the principles underlying its success, and lessons learned during development of the project. | | View this resource: | |
