Date: October 28, 2009 Time: 9 am - 3:30 pm Location: Perkins/Bostock Library, Duke University ([|directions])

Fall 2009 Attendees (attendees, please edit your contact info as desired!)

Agenda:
A representative from each attending institution present a brief (around 5 min) update on key instructional technology projects and "happenings" in their unit or at their institution. || A chance for those who are "neck-deep" in LMS evaluations/changes to share stories and ideas, and for those considering such evaluations to hear how they are going elsewhere. We'll discuss: Budget cuts don't mean the need for course design goes away. in fact, the interest in Distance Education grows as people seek ways to reach students (and their tuition dollars!) without adding to the classroom space shortage concerns. In this discussion, learn about the variety of online course delivery methods, project management tools, team communication tools, and support issues from the perspective of those who live and breathe instructional media production. || Just in time for Halloween, this session looks at the [|Creepy Treehouse] and how to avoid it! Some of the questions we might address: At what point does an instructor using web 2.0 tools become intrusive? What are the concerns regarding power and lack thereof, student motivation, resistance to learning, appropriate and inappropriate uses of tools in LMS systems, etc.? As advocates of educational technology, where do we draw the line and what are best practices? || The [|Duke Digital Initiative] (DDI) is a multi-year program of experimentation, development and implementation of new and emerging technologies to explore their effective use in support of the university’s mission. Through a three-phase process, we explore technologies, and transition them into institutional support. The presentation will focus on the phased approach to technology exploration, and provide quick summaries of the programs for this year. || We will briefly overview the OST approach (but please read the description sent by Neal ahead of time), then will ask attendees to generate some topics for afternoon discussion. Those who propose the topic should propose it because it's something they are interested in discussing and learning more about from others, and they should be willing to kick off a discussion on the topic. We will ask attendees to indicate interest in the proposed topics, so that we can whittle down to 8 during lunch (to fit the afternoon time slots, 2 slots @ 4 rooms). Final topics will be posted with their locations before the end of the lunch session. || > Large Course Redesign at NC State || Traditional wrap up session, focusing on feedback for the day, final comments, etc. ||
