Learning Design Summer Camp Podcast

Cole Camplese — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 01:31:06 +0000

ETS is holding the first Learning Design Summer Camp August 12-13 at the Pattee-Paterno Library at University Park.

The Learning Design Summer Camp is different both in how it is being planned and who will attend. While you think an event on learning design would be exclusive to instructional designers, this event has people from other disciplines attending. And the Summer Camp planning is unique in several ways, including attendees volunteering to help organize the event.

To find out more, I interviewed Cole Camplese, ETS director, and Allan Gyorke, education technology manager. Allan and Cole talked about the event, how it is being planned, and what you can do to help plan and execute this unique event.

The Digital Commons team recently hosted Dr. Matt Jackson, Associate Professor of Communications and Head of the Department of Telecommunications in the the College of Communications to discuss copyright law, Fair Use, TEACH Act, and their impact on teaching and learning, especially as it concerns student and faculty use of multimedia. Dr. Jackson has done extensive research on issues of copyright, and provides many examples and fields questions from those in attendance which help to clarify an often intimidating subject.

Podcast: Collaborative Learning Spaces

Jamie Oberdick — Thu, 08 May 2008 20:27:22 +0000

This podcast is a few months old now, but I still believe it is a good listen. I spoke with Mary Ramsey, learning spaces coordinator, and Paul Schwartz, Teamwork Center coordinator, about Penn State’s development of collaborative learning spaces and Teaching and Learning with Technology’s involvement in this process. Collaborative learning spaces enable students to get together in one space to work on team presentations or team projects. Some spaces allow you to share documents on one large monitor, and some are comfortable lounge-type setups with wireless access.

Mary and Paul discuss the innovative design of these spaces, the technology involved, and how they enhance learning here at Penn State.

Jeff Swain at Purdue’s TLT Symposium

Cole Camplese — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 12:52:51 +0000

Earlier this week we asked Jeff Swain to attend the CIC LTI Committee meeting on the campus of Purdue University. Typically either John Harwood or I attend, but given travel schedules we asked Jeff to go and represent PSU. Reading his thoughts and reflections it sounds as if the CIC LTI grou is thinking about a lot of the same things we are … particularly as they relate to LMS/CMS issues and the fallout from the BlackBoard patent ruling. The best part for me reading Jeff’s report were his opening thoughts …

I attended my first CIC Learning Technology team meeting yesterday and I came away with two major impressions. First, I was proud to see how much Penn State, and ETS, has to offer. The education technology units at other Big 10 schools are very interested in what we’re doing and they are closely watching our progress as we navigate the web 2.0 world, which is now in its adolescence and, therefore, experiencing the typical growing pains as it moves from infancy to adulthood. Second, I was excited to see how much we can learn from watching what the other CIC schools are doing. We’re all reading the same tea leaves, making decisions based on our interpretations, and implementing a plan of action. All in the name of improving the teaching and learning experience.

I know that when I have attended these meetings in the past I feel the same way and am always trying to think of ways to meaningfully connect with peers at other Institutions. The other thing Jeff is doing while he is at Purdue is attending their TLT Symposium to learn from what they are up to. Jeff is currently serving as the program chair for our own Symposium and will take over as the overall chair next year. He seems to be learning quite a bit and has been doing some podcast interviews with the people he is meeting there. He talks microblogging, spends time with Ed Evans of Purdue, and Albert Simon from Marshall University. All worth a listen.
