Presentations

• Growing Up with Google, Diana G. Oblinger, ELI, EDUCAUSE [PDF 2,923 KB]
  Oblinger's presentation reviews the major characteristics of today's learners and the key trends arising from their use of technology, such as their movement beyond using online resources to creating and collaboratively organizing them. She goes on to consider the institutional implications of such developments for teaching, learning, student development, and learning space design.
• The Next Generation of Courses, Diana G. Oblinger, ELI, EDUCAUSE [PDF 1,166 KB]
  This presentation from Diana Oblinger highlights new learning opportunities—such as immersive learning environments and user-created media—influencing the direction of course development. From these examples, she distills learning principles faculty and institutions can adopt to facilitate the transition to next-generation courses.
• Information Fluency, Charles Dziuban and Martha Marinara, UCF Information Fluency Initiative, University of Central Florida [PDF 438 KB]
  Dziuban and Marinara's presentation reviews the principles and conceptual framework behind UCF's Information Fluency Initiative, which seeks to enhance the development of information fluency by UCF students.
• The Co-Curriculum, Technology, and Student Success, George L. Mehaffy, AASCU [PDF 259 KB]
  Mehaffy's presentation focuses on the learning value students derive from out-of-class experiences and the importance of institutions recognizing and intentionally enhancing that value. The presentation also offers questions for institutions to consider about how technology can effectively support institutional goals for co-curricular learning.
• Learning Spaces, Diana G. Oblinger, ELI, EDUCAUSE [PDF 2,549 KB]
  In this presentation, Oblinger uses examples of model learning spaces to highlight learning space design principles that support next-generation learners and learning. Concepts explored include fitting spaces to learning rather than vice versa, supporting group work and collaboration, and using flexible, mobile furnishings to allow users to reconfigure formal and informal learning spaces.
• Assessing Student Success, Charles Dziuban and Patsy Moskal, Research Initiative for Teaching Effectiveness (RITE), University of Central Florida [PDF 55 KB]
  In this presentation, Dzuiban and Moskal discuss research findings on patterns of student success in relation to different modes of teaching and learning with technology, focusing on differences by generation and learner characteristics.
