If you’re not also enabling the ‘why’ or ‘what’ behind the tech tools you give your faculty, you’re not enabling effective use of those tools.

Attendance is up and the number of students dozing off in class is down in Joe Calhoun’s economics classes at Florida State University (FSU). And that’s despite an increase in class size recently, with new lecture halls that seat up to 500 students at a time.

For the past several years, K-State has used technology from Tegrity to record class sessions with video, audio, and multimedia. Presently, close to 200 classes across the university are captured using this technology.

It’s tough to master a new language without speaking it, of course. So it follows that language courses that incorporate speaking as much as possible can help students learn faster and better, and help professors better assess their progress.

This month Arizona State University (ASU) and Google made the first large-scale deployment of Google Apps for Education, to the ASU student community.

Even with its many sophisticated computer systems, the University of Mississippi, like most campuses, still deals with lots of paper.
10/9/2006
Most of today’s splashiest new classroom technologies have at least one thing in common – they tend to require lots of storage space on the campus network.

As educational institutions establish an online presence, initial successes are often due to individual faculty members (“early adopters” of this new technology), working long hours to develop material more or less single-handedly. Frequently, they are leaving behind scattered projects, which are of intrinsic value, but of little use for the institution and far less for the larger academic community.

Today’s Auxiliary Services department has morphed into a solution source for mobile transactions, mountains of junk mail, and a whole lot more.
9/25/2006
Serving quality educational experiences to remote students is a challenge for many colleges in the U.S. Advances in multimedia equipment, video conferencing solutions, and high-speed delivery are making that task easier, but still not without challenges.

Across the country, a growing number of schools are turning to ePortfolio assessment technologies to help them monitor and evaluate student progress in a variety of disciplines – and to help them and their students do even more.
9/12/2006
Document cameras, often referred to as ELMOs because of a leading manufacturer (ELMO USA Corp.), have been used in classrooms for years.
9/5/2006
Creating a college course totally as an online computer game seemed feasible when Assistant Dean Nora Reynolds and I first discussed it last year. After all, our team had developed over a hundred online courses and had been creating interactive games as drop-in learning objects in courses for years. We would simply “step up the effort a little.”

As the technology continues to improve, colleges and universities devise new ways of mastering institutional assessment: some vendor-based, some homegrown, some combinations of both.

They’re not just evaluation tools anymore. Savvy educators are seeing endless ways to exploit the power of the ePortfolio—and you can, too.

It’s been a year since Hurricane Katrina and the resulting flooding devastated New Orleans, and a new hurricane season is underway. At Delgado Community College, last year’s havoc hit hard. But the tragedy has resulted in some positive changes.

Would you install a different phone system in every room of your house? At the University of Texas at Austin, Kurt Bartelmehs, program manager for instructional technology, uses that analogy to explain why he’s worked so hard to standardize technology in classrooms across campus.

New York University is the largest private university in the United States. This urban university has a residence hall program that houses 11,701 students in 23 facilities. The facilities themselves are located across the Manhattan landscape, although many are within the general footprint of the campus. About a third of housed students are freshmen, though the campus provides housing to 57% of all undergraduates and 23% of all students. As one might expect, the university serves a very diverse student population.

Colleges and universities delivering distance learning via the Internet face challenges in maintaining high-speed, high-quality voice, video, and data. Delivering video and voice courses using Internet protocols (IP) has been growing over the past five or six years, and technology companies are racing to keep up.
7/31/2006
Personal digital assistants, or PDAs, have proven especially popular with medical schools, where the volume of data such devices store for easy retrieval can help students easily access both clinical data and reference materials.
