    TLT Fellows Gathering 

    For the past three summers, we have had a group of faculty join us to work on a special project related to their research interests and technology. This summer was a little different. We added our first student fellow and most of our project work will last for a year or more.

    One of the highlights of every cycle is getting the fellows together to talk and cross-pollenate ideas. The picture above, was taken at the TLT Fellows dinner, the day before the Learning Design Summer Camp. From left to right, the people in the picture are Brad Kozlek (ETS), Jim Jansen (IST), Chris Long (Liberal Arts), Davis Shaver (Liberal Arts), and Keith Bailey (Arts and Architecture). These gatherings always lead to energetic discussions and this year was no different.

    Over the summer, Chris Long and John Dolan invited faculty in the College of the Liberal Arts to participate in a Digital Research workshop to explore new digital workflows to manage research practice. Lots of great blog posts to read and react to.

    October 2011 Agenda 

    The eEducation Council meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, October 5 from 10:00 – 11:30 am in 118 Wagner. If you plan on attending by video-conferencing please provide me with the location no later than Tuesday, September 27th.

    So much to look at and so little time. We are changing the format of eEducation for the 2011-2012 academic year. Instead of taking up our face to face time with a series of updates, we will focus our 90 minutes on topical discussions. We have added a series of short updates to review prior to the meeting for you to view whenever you want. Leave comments or add new posts about any of these items.

    We will spend the majority of the time looking at various eLearning Content Management strategies from across Penn State. A general overview of the use of eLCMS tools will be provided and then various organizations will do short presentations to expose their approaches. Our goals are to have a deeper understanding of the use of these tools, to better understand common workflows, and to identify areas potential overlap and collaborations.

    Agenda

    • Brief overview of new eEd format and web space — Cole Camplese
    • Brief overview of eLearning Content Management thinking — Cole Camplese
    • Brief overview of the World Campus approach to eLearning Content Management — Andrea Gregg, Eleanor Lehman, Lynne Johnson
    • Brief overview of the College of IST’s approach to eLearning Content Management — Amy Garbrick
    • Brief overview of the College of the Liberal Art’s approach to eLearning Content Management — Cathy Holsing
    • Brief overview of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences’ approach to eLearning Content Management — Stevie Rocco and Ann Taylor
    • Brief overview of the College of Arts and Architecture’s approach to eLearning Content Management and design philosophy — Keith Bailey
    • General thoughts and ideas going forward — Conversation Lead by Keith Bailey

    If you have additional thoughts for the agenda please leave a comment to this post or start a new thread using the tag, September 2011.

      If we want to leave lots of time for discussion, each update will have to be pretty concise – maybe 5-7 minutes each?

      At the end of this discussion, I would love to see the learning design community form an ad hoc task-force focused on establishing common needs and requirements for an instructional content management system for the University. Are there common set of best practices that can be included in such a system with the hope of enabling a wider adoption of best practices with online courses? Are there common learning design approaches which can be standardized across the University which will help with the perceived issue for a need to develop “a common look and feel” for online courses? How can the PSU Online Quality Standards be used as a spring board to help influence the technical requirements of an instructional content management solution for the University? These are just a few questions a task-force could grapple with.

        Keith, this sounds like an excellent context to wrap up our conversation at the meeting. I placed you last on the agenda so maybe you can kick off that discussion with the remaining time?

        An area I’m really interested in seeing us discuss along with this topic, Keith, relates to the differences and similarities from the learner perspective of participating in online (or blended/hybrid) courses as a resident student and participating in online courses as a truly distance adult learner. I think the line is increasingly blurred but I also think it’s important that we explore, again from the learner perspective, possible similarities and differences.

        A conversation about design processes and the tools used to implement will be very helpful. It would be great to identify where we can invest local resources in areas that 1) can be adopted and built upon by other departments and 2) identify common challenges to be considered for university wide solutions. I’m looking forward to participating in the group and hopefully contributing to the task-force.

          Couldn’t agree more! Looking forward to the discussion … please make sure you press us to think of all of PSU!

      We’re having a staff meeting next week and I’m thinking about doing something similar (after talking to you about it). We’ve been thinking so hard about “flipping the classroom”, it might be time to take that approach to our meetings.

      I like your idea for the new design as well. I’m looking forward to the first meeting.

      Cole,
      I read your email and thought it might be Christmas already. I am 100% on board with this. If there is anything or anyway that I can help, please let me know.

      Thank you!

      Tess
