Engineering a Public Affairs Project

drupal — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 13:38:59 -0600

This session will describe a collaboration between two very different academic disciplines at Princeton University, the University Channel and CoBlitz, to deliver recordings of public events in academia to millions. The partners describe how a group of public policy schools teamed up with an engineering consortium to create this unique multimedia project.

A Collaborative Codesign Approach for Student-Centric Learning Commons

drupal — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 09:24:34 -0600

Since 2003, an interdisciplinary team of Swedish, Australian, and American researchers has developed and tested inclusive, transferable processes for collaborative planning and iterative assessment of learning commons initiatives. This session will illustrate essential process, outcome, and philosophy elements for producing student-generated insights on (re)design of campus learning spaces.

HumaniTech: Bridging Divides, Building Collaborations

drupal — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 09:24:33 -0600

HumaniTech links humanities and technology by combining the perspectives and skills of faculty and staff from both humanities and campus-wide resources to work across disciplines and lines that often divide the research university: research/teaching, central/local control, faculty/staff, traditionalists/innovators. HumaniTech focuses on collaboration where IT is essential to these bridge-building efforts rather than a goal in itself.

An Initiative to Share Digital Repository Services for Liberal Arts Colleges

drupal — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 11:04:18 -0600

In January 2007, 13 geographically separated liberal arts colleges joined with the National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education (NITLE) and the Longsight Group on an initiative for shared, managed, institutional repository services. The resulting collaboration promises to dramatically lower the barrier for entry into an emerging technology for smaller colleges.

Collaborators at the Gates of Troy: Extending E-Services at USC

drupal — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 11:04:17 -0600

This session will describe and explain the policy, practices, and technologies implemented at the University of Southern California to allow the extension of electronic services for learning, research, and collaboration to guests and colleagues at other higher education institutions.

From Information Literacy to Scholarly Identity: Effective Pedagogical Strategies for Social Bookmarking

drupal — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 13:42:39 -0500

Collaborative research teaches students critical knowledge management skills, whether they are undergraduates learning the basics of Web research or advanced scholars defining their own knowledge domains. Faculty need practical examples and strategies to initiate social bookmarking activities. Case studies demonstrate how this has been accomplished in undergraduate and graduate courses.

Models for Collaborative Online Learning: Pedagogy, Design, and Epistemology

drupal — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 13:42:41 -0500

This session will examine models for collaborative learning evidenced within the context of an online Master of Educational Technology program. This session will examine models of online learning from pedagogical and instructional design perspectives and consider the epistemological implications of collaborative spaces for learning and knowledge production.

Using Wikipedia to Reenvision the Term Paper

drupal — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 13:42:39 -0500

The structure of the traditional term paper can limit its educational value. To make the assignment more meaningful, students published their papers in Wikipedia. This session will examine how publishing for a large online community motivated students to do better work and deal with issues of voice, knowledge, and community.

A Collaborative Approach to Building Enterprise Portals: Perspectives from Coast to Coast

drupal — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 15:56:49 -0500

Nearly 100 institutions are working collaboratively to develop enterprise Web portals. Representatives from Merced College, Rochester Institute of Technology, Temple University, and University of Montana will discuss the consortium, its successes, and lessons learned in their attempt to implement enterprise portals at an affordable price.

Achieving the Impossible Through Partnerships and Alliances

drupal — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 15:56:45 -0500

Partnerships and alliances leverage the talents of many to accomplish an important goal not otherwise achievable, or not achievable in a cost-effective way. Their formation and ongoing support, however, can be time-consuming, costly, and risky. This seminar will cover critical success factors in building successful partnerships and alliances and will present numerous case studies of such collaborations within higher education. Group exercises will be used to analyze the potential for success of collaborations under consideration and define strategies to reenergize existing ones. Participants are encouraged to bring specific cases on which they would like input.
