January eEducation Council Meeting Agenda
Hi all! Can you believe we are now into January 2013? Time to kick up a new semester. We have a solid agenda for Wednesday and I am looking forward to seeing everyone. Our meeting will be held in 118 Wagner, from 10:00 until 11:30 on January 9, 2013 . Agenda:
- Overview of the Center for Online Innovations in Learning (COIL): With Kyle Peck, Larry Ragan, Fred Fonseca, Cole Camplese. Please see the attached document, COIL Framing Document.
- Join the COIL Yammer group
- Update on Penn State MOOC Strategy Group: Cole Camplese, Allan Gyorke, and Others
- Update on Coursera efforts
- How do environments like the Canvas Network integrate?
- Blue and White Vision Council Seminar
- Update on Bb Mobile Pilot and Changes to the Maintenance Schedule: Terry O’Heron
- Other Items?
One other item to share … recall when Megan and Angie came to give us an overview of the Art 10 iTunes U course? It was release three weeks ago and Apple reports to us that there are already close to 17,000 subscribers. You can find the course on your iOS device here.
