Track 5A Model of Transformational Faculty DevelopmentThursday, October 03, 2002 Michael B. Clay, Director of Learning Technologies, Seattle University Richard Alan Ranker, Manager, Learning Technology Group, Lancaster University Institutions continue to struggle with faculty adjusting to technological change. East Tennessee State University has responded to this opportunity by creating the Faculty Technology Leadership Program. This transformational and proactive approach supports mainstream faculty as they become technology leaders and mentors. We will describe the FTL program, research, students, pedagogical methods, curriculum, and outcomes. Beyond Listservs: Building Online Support Communities that Really WorkWednesday, October 02, 2002 Ken Graetz, Director, Teaching, Learning, and Technology Services, Winona State University Online support communities often fail to attain their full potential. This presentation demonstrates TECPD (Technology in Education Collaborative for Professional Development) Place, an online workspace used to facilitate collaboration among 100 IT professionals from colleges and universities across Ohio. Effective facilitation techniques and lessons learned will be shared. Bringing R&D into the IT OrganizationThursday, October 03, 2002 John T. Kristoff, Network Architect, NeuStar, Inc. The Networks and Telecom group within Information Services at DePaul University has formed a new Research and Design group to help bring innovative internetworking solutions to the University. The R&D group is being used to help bridge the gap between academic technology research and the university IT organization. This session will discuss the ideas, goals, and work being done in this new group. Faculty as Students: Enhancing Student-Centered Learning Through Technology and CollaborationWednesday, October 02, 2002 Patricia A. Facciponti, Instructional Technologist, Lafayette College In an intensive, four-day summer workshop, Lafayette College faculty examined how they learn, discussed how they might better teach, and explored how technology and collaboration can help them engage students in active learning inside and outside of class. Learn how the workshop was organized, the processes, and the results. Getting More for Less: A Software Distribution ModelThursday, October 03, 2002 John V. Samuel, Director, UITS Stat/Math Center, Indiana University Kevin Wilhite, Sales Coordinator, Indiana University With increasing demand for computing technology combined with tight budgets, educational institutions must explore different avenues to address software needs. Indiana University has implemented a model that involves a university-wide collaborative effort. This effort involves sharing resources to provide needed, often expensive software at minimal or no cost to users. Incremental Revolution: Portfolio of Strategies for ChangeWednesday, October 02, 2002 Steven W. Gilbert, President, The TLT Group A new imperative is to engage "almost all" of the faculty in improving teaching and learning with information technology. This session will introduce the TLT Group's portfolio of strategies model for collaborative change and programs for developing and using collections of low threshold applications to meet new professional development needs. IT Support Community Training ModelWednesday, October 02, 2002 Kate Gilbreath, Workflow Manager, The Ohio State University Kenneth R. Schuetz, Executive Director, Information Technology Services, University of Colorado at Boulder The Information Technology Services department at the University of Colorado at Boulder recently implemented a four-tiered support model. The training needs of these four tiers are various as each interacts differently with the customer. This presentation will describe the support model and demonstrate how training was developed that satisfied each group's needs and expectations. Multicampus, High-Performance Computing Infrastructure for Research SupportFriday, October 04, 2002 Gary K. Allen, VP for Information Technology & CIO, University of Missouri System The University of Missouri Bioinformatics Consortium is being developed to facilitate intercampus communication and bioinformatics research collaborations across the four campuses of the University of Missouri System. This presentation will discuss the background, strategic planning, and implementation of a high-performance computational infrastructure shared across a multicampus environment. Pocket PCs in the Learning Environment: The UMD ExperienceFriday, October 04, 2002 James Allert, Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science, University of Minnesota Duluth Linda L. Deneen, Director, Information Technology, University of Minnesota Duluth James P. Riehl, Dean, College of Science and Engineering, University of Minnesota Duluth The University of Minnesota Duluth College of Science and Engineering (CSE) issued Compaq iPAQs with 802.11b wireless capability to 252 engineering and computer science students and 50 faculty in fall 2001. ITSS provided wireless networking and iPAQ configuration, distribution, training, and repair. CSE faculty developed applications and class assignments. The presentation will describe experiences and plans. Strategic Halftime Adjustments in the Recruitment and Retention GameWednesday, October 02, 2002 David W. Dodd, Vice President for Information Resources and CIO, Xavier University Excellent technologies and services can only be delivered by highly competent and dedicated staff. Though the current labor market invites a return to "hiring for the job," this is no time for changing the game plan. Instead, institutions must make effective adjustments and build wisely for success in the long term. Using a Software Implementation Project as a Vehicle for Cultural Change on a Large CampusThursday, October 03, 2002 William J. Fritz, Enrollment Services, Georgia State University Cherise Y. Peters, Assistant Vice President of Enrollment Services and University Registrar, Georgia State University This session describes how a rapidly changing urban university used a multiyear implementation of an enterprise-wide software package to help tear down university silos, get groups of people working together, develop leadership talent for the future, and create a more student-friendly environment Using Peer Mentors to Promote Information FluencyFriday, October 04, 2002 Ashley Hodgson, Student Peer Mentor, Statistics, Washington and Lee University Farhan S. Mustafa, Peer Mentor, Washington and Lee University Jeffrey L. Overholtzer, Director of Strategic Planning and Communication, Washington and Lee University John Tombarge, Reference Librarian, Washington and Lee University A professor, a librarian, and an instructional technologist team up to recruit and train five students who act as peer mentors for students enrolled in a multisection statistics course. The strategy efficiently provides information fluency skills to students in the course, which is both technology- and research-intensive. Using Streaming Media for Online User Training in ITWednesday, October 02, 2002 John Fritz, Asst. VP, Instructional Technology & New Media, University of Maryland, Baltimore County William Shewbridge, Manager, New Media Studio, University of Maryland, Baltimore County To support a ubiquitous computing environment, UMBC used streaming media and its broadband network to provide "just-in-time" IT training modules for students, faculty, and staff. The project extends the campus's traditional face-to-face training model, but scales better for a growing user population that wants flexibility and variety in IT training. |
