Gary Chinn will lead a discussion on a recent study of effectiveness of online learning methods down by the US Dept. of Ed.

I've attached two docs - One is a 2-page summary Gary did on this; the other is the study itself.

Please do read the summary, and feel free to dive into the study itself.

Does anyone have any other agenda items? Please let me know!

This month's IT-Pro Roundtable is called "Getting the Most out of Penn State's Collaborative Technology Initiatives". The session will have more relevance to the broader user community than usual, so _*please forward this invitation to your user communities*_ as well. You may have noticed that "collaboration" seems to have become the buzzword of the year.

Hi all,

I'm kicking around the idea of having a Fall 08 meeting for us. I'd like to have an entire day, and can probably swing a provided lunch and afternoon snack. In the past we've focused on specific tools, etc. as part of the training for the day. I'd like to get away from that and into more pedagogical discussions, community building activities, and joint projects we all benefit from.
