Agenda and Attendee list forthcoming Travelling and service learning courses often include community building, documentation, and collaboration elements. By using social networking and popular internet-based technology tools, courses can enhance these elements and make them available to the community outside of the immediate class. This session will discuss the use of this approach in a travelling sociology service learning course. It will include the discussion of the idea of including 'bite-sized' technology in instruction and will include specific examples pulled from the course. || 1. School/departmental e-portfolio needs. 2. E-portfolios for faculty tenure and promotion and student learning. 3. Institutional initiatives that drive e-portfolio adoption. ||

 * <  ||=   || Continuing with this method used by Duke in the fall, we would like to use OST for determining our session topics in the afternoon. Proposing a topic means that you are interested in discussing the topic, learning from others, and that you are willing to lead a discuss on that topic. Once all topics are proposed, we will determine interested on each topic and narrow down topics if necessary. We will have six slots available in the afternoon for these topics. Please see the title link above to review the OST method in advance. ||
