Abstract

How can we use new technologies to help meet the increasing demand for professional development? Combining synchronous and asynchronous methods is part of the solution. New technologies are decreasing discretionary time for faculty and other academic professionals while increasing their workload. At the same time, professional development demands and the availability of tools and resources to address this overload are also increasing. This seminar will provide demonstrations, hands-on activities, guidelines, and supplemental materials for designing and implementing hybrid professional development.

PLEASE NOTE: You will need to bring a laptop with wireless connectivity and a 2004-2007 Web browser installed. You will need basic audio software as well as speakers or a headset that will allow you to listen to music or other sounds from your computer.

It's strongly recommended, but not required, that you bring a combination of basic audio software and a microphone that permits you to talk through that computer's Internet connection to others who are connected via computers, headsets, and the Internet. You will be encouraged, but not required to try producing "5 minute eClips" if you have a microphone.

If circumstances prevent you from bringing a laptop or other equipment to the seminar, please e-mail Victoria Fanning at vfanning@educause.edu.

Please see the below URLs for more information regarding headsets (required) and microphones for eClips (recommended).
