Author(s):Barbara I. Dewey (The University of Tennessee)
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2002)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:How can we provide access to several hundred songs to 1,300 students who enroll annually in the History of Rock course? This was the initial question to be answered by the University of Tennessee (UT). The answer ended up to be two workable models and accompanying collaborative spaces for production and creation of digital media content for the campus--the Digital Media Service and the Studio. Formulating the answer required close partnerships between the library, the Office of Information Technology, and faculty from across the campus.

Author(s):Rosina Smith (University of Calgary)
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2004)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:This presentation will focus on e-content that can be shared among and between different end users that is being driven by the ubiquity of digital content and efforts to move ahead while realizing cost and time efficiencies within a collaborative environment.

It will detail a new model specific to content development and/or profession/instructional development that permit recursive capabilities to technology, tools and content. This model permits the reuse, multipurposing and repurposing of existing content. It is being realized within the Flex-EC initiative led by the Alberta Online Consortium, including collaboration and sharing among fourteen partners within the K-12, post-secondary and corporate context.

Improving Art History Education: Library and Faculty Partnerships in Instructional Technology Development

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Improving Art History Education: Library and Faculty Partnerships in Instructional Technology Development (ID: CSD3006)
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2003)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:This article discusses the provenance of a partnership between the Digital Projects Department (DPD) at Northern Illinois University (NIU) Libraries and NIU's Art History Department that seeks to improve art education at NIU. Academic librarians and other library personnel have unique skills, which along with providing traditional library services, should be utilized to meet instructional and educational challenges. Since DPD has a history of providing access to multimedia content via the Internet, it seemed natural to partner with the art history department to create a tool for accessing slides of artwork via the Web.
