This professional development series, "Special Topics for Instructional Technologists," will take place regularly on the first Friday of each month at noon Eastern / 11 Central / 9 Pacific, except where a major holiday requires scheduling on the second Friday. Programs in the series will engage members of the instructional technology community at participating colleges in leading discussions of their projects, approaches, techniques, solutions, and successful practices via interactive videoconferencing. The format is designed to encourage interaction and promote network engagement. Recent topics have included "Social Software, Language Study, and Study Abroad," "Digital Gaming for Teaching and Learning," and "Helping Faculty with Issues of Copyright and Fair Use."
We welcome new ideas for individual programs in the series; individuals or groups wishing to propose programs are encouraged to send contact Nancy Millichap at nancy.millichap@nitle.org.
Interested faculty and staff from participating colleges: To register yourself or a colleague for this program, please send an e-mail with the program's title and registrant's name, job title, and e-mail address to participate <at> nitle <dot> org. NITLE will accept registrations on a first-come, first-served basis and invoice registered participants (or an identified billing contact) for the registration fee.
To ensure a positive participation experience in this online program, participants who are new or newer to multipoint interactive videoconferencing (MIV) are required to successfully complete training in the use of MIV. Complete information regarding available training times will be sent directly to the participant upon acceptance to the brown bag. Training options will include a "Do-It-Yourself" option, including a hands-on, informal "Water Cooler" session, or Level 1 training: "Collaborate with MIV." Both training options will help new and newer users of MIV feel comfortable within the virtual MIV environment, learn how to use its interactive tools, and otherwise learn how to participate and contribute successfully within MIV.
For more information about this online program, please contact Nancy Millichap.
Please note that MIV is most effective with a 1:1 ratio between participant and MIV seat (each "seat" is equivalent to one laptop or desktop computer). Participants are therefore encouraged to join the program as individuals using their own computers.
