Coming to You Live from the Internet!: Teaching in an Interactive Online Video EnvironmentThursday, January 15, 2004 Lujean Baab, Director of Training and Program Development, CAPE (A Community for the Advancement of Partnerships in Education ) Online learning presents challenges for interactive learning. One way to meet those challenges is with video and audio over IP in synchronous online environments. However, this solution has associated cost, learning-curve, teacher-adoption, and student-satisfaction issues. A pilot project with partnering schools provides strategies to overcome these issues. Digitizing the HumanitiesTuesday, January 13, 2004 Rae S. Brosnan, Senior Information Technology Specialist, The Johns Hopkins University Theron Feist, Senior Information Technology Specialist, The Johns Hopkins University Michael Reese, Assistant Director, Center for Educational Resources, The Johns Hopkins University Faced with limited resources, we devised a systematic, cost-effective project development process for building digital resources to supplement various humanities courses. Others can follow this process, which integrates existing campus resources and uses management tools developed by the Center for Educational Resources. Course resources developed will be used to illustrate the presentation topic. E-Portfolios: Two Approaches for Transforming Curriculum and Promoting Student LearningThursday, January 15, 2004 Glenn Johnson, Project Manager, Penn State's e-Portfolio Initiative, The Pennsylvania State University David W. Middleton, AVP, Finance & Technology, Seton Hall University E-portfolios are an increasingly used tool in higher education. This presentation shares the achievements and challenges of e-portfolio implementation at two universities. Seton Hall's Blackboard-based e-portfolio system represents institutional transformation for faculty, students, and administrators. This artifact management/assessment system addresses challenges facing higher education, including accreditation, certifying competencies, and professional portfolios. Penn State's e-Portfolio Initiative promotes reflective learning by increasing connections among courses and between coursework and the real world as students demonstrate knowledge, skills, and values. eTAP: Tapping Student Resources to Support Teaching with TechnologyTuesday, January 13, 2004 Michael Giordano, Manager, Instructional Development Center, University of New Hampshire Three obstacles faculty face when integrating technology in their teaching are lack of time, resources, and skills.

Integration of Digital Library Services Through RepositoriesWednesday, January 14, 2004 Sayeed Choudhury, Associate Dean for Library Digital Programs, The Johns Hopkins University Libraries are built upon collections, services, and infrastructure. As digital libraries evolve, there is a danger of creating both collection and service silos. With the development of persistent repositories, libraries now possess the capability to build digital infrastructure with unbundled, modular systems and interfaces that will help deliver integrated services. MIT OpenCourseWare: A New Model for Open SharingWednesday, January 14, 2004 Cecilia R. d'Oliveira, Executive Director, MIT OpenCourseWare, MIT Anne H. Margulies, Executive Director, OpenCourseWare, MIT Jon Paul Potts, MIT OCW Communications Manager, MIT MIT OpenCourseWare (MIT OCW) makes MIT faculty's course materials available free on the Web to any user, anywhere. With the publication of 500 subjects in September 2003, MIT is delivering on the promise of MIT OCW and open sharing. The initiative is already advancing education at MIT and making a difference for educators and self-learners around the world. Online Tutorial on Scholarly Research and Academic IntegrityWednesday, January 14, 2004 Sandy Hussey, Library Research Instruction Coordinator, Georgetown University Mark Jacobs, Associate University Librarian, Georgetown University Georgetown University needed an effective and efficient way to teach 1,700 new students that research and scholarship at the university must be based on academic integrity.
