For faculty members and instructional technologists from participating colleges who are looking for innovative ways to integrate technology into teaching and learning. Delivered online via MIV. (1 program unit. Liaisons' deadline: Friday, June 13, 2008)
To have a successful participation experience, participants will want to use
Participants will also want to connect via a high-speed Internet connection. (Test your bandwidth speed at http://reviews.cnet.com/7004-7254_7-0.html: enter your telephone area code and your connection type, then click G0. Your bandwidth speed should be 500 kbps or greater.)
Now that your campus has Multipoint Interactive Videoconferencing (MIV), what do you do with it? Come to this discussion find out how faculty are using MIV for teaching and learning. Faculty who teach in the Sunoikisis inter-campus courses will share their insights into how to make the most of teaching in a virtual classroom and lead a discussion of how this technology that combines live video, audio, and whiteboard can be integrated into teaching and learning on a liberal arts campus. Hal Haskell, Professor of Classics and Chair of the Classics Program at Southwestern University, will be the featured presenter.
This program is part of a larger series on "Special Topics in Digital Teaching," which offers a sequence of interactive discussions that showcase how faculty are using digital technology for teaching and learning in a variety of disciplines on liberal arts campuses. Participants will learn about successful models for digital teaching and discuss how they can implement these ideas in their own classrooms. The series, which will be delivered online via MIV, is designed to help faculty make the transition from learning a new technology to using it effectively for teaching and learning. Participants are invited to join these lively discussions from the convenient location of their campus offices. Please plan to arrive in the MIV room 15 minutes before the discussion starts to ensure that MIV is working well for you.
This program series begins in June 2008, with instances scheduled monthly through the academic year (apart from a hiatus in the vacation month of July). If you have questions regarding this series, or if you would like to propose a topic for presentation, please contact Rebecca Davis at rebecca.davis@nitle.org.
Interested faculty and staff from participating colleges: To participate in this online program, please contact your campus liaison. Your campus liaison will select your campus's nominees and send their names to NITLE. Nominees will receive further information from NITLE about the registration process.
To ensure a positive participation experience in this online program, participants who are new to multipoint interactive videoconferencing (MIV) are encouraged to pursue basic training in the use of MIV prior to participating in this program. Training options include:
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 Rebecca Davis.
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.
