Technologies Where Students Live

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Technologies Where Students Live (ID: ELI07157)
Author(s):Kimberly Braxton (Emory University)
Origin:Presented at ELI Meetings (01/23/2007)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Learning occurs by "thinking out loud," as well as by presenting results. ELI will experiment with "Learning Circles" which are collaborative sessions in which a member discusses the "next big thing" they plan to pursue and seeks feedback from the participants. This group exploration also allows you to think about implications for your campus.

Framing question for this learning circle: What is the future of the traditional residence hall computer lab?

With most students coming to campus fully equipped with wireless laptops, mobile phones, portable video/music players, and even wireless printers, what are the implications for residence hall computer labs? Are fixed workstations still needed when almost everyone has a computer down the hall? Do students want to collaborate? Are presentation and projection important? Gaming and multimedia? Videoconferencing? What relevant technologies can we support in student living spaces, and in what context?

Title:Using Wireless PocketPCs in Survey Courses to Expand Discourse (ID: NLI0506)
Author(s):Perry J. Samson (University of Michigan-Ann Arbor)
Origin:Presented at ELI Meetings (01/24/2005)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:We are experimenting in earth systems classes at the University of Michigan with interactive challenges using wireless PocketPCs. Students respond to questions on the PocketPCs and initial responses are projected, followed by a discussion seeking consensus on the best answer. This approach offers new opportunities to improve learning through peer and interactive instruction.
