Keynote Presentation
Title: Educating Students in a Digital, Mobile Culture
Presenter: Arlene Krebs, Director, Wireless Education & Technology.
Description:
As wireless networks become more ubiquitous, we have increased possibilities to transform learning via ‘always on’ mobile media which offer us opportunities for continuous communications, real time data collection and analysis, and the creation of new learning environments—on and off campus. Arlene will discuss innovative curriculum models that demonstrate how mobile technologies can be implemented into our pedagogical practices. Examples cover a broad spectrum of curricula that involve student-centered outcomes-based pedagogy. Arlene will also discuss the Wireless Education & Technology Center, established to help advance mobile teaching and learning.
Mobile Technology Conference – AM Presentation
Title: A Movable Feast: Teaching and Learning when the World is Your Classroom
Presenter: Michael Feldstein, Assistant Director, SUNY Learning Environments
Description:
Mobile learning (or "m-learning") has typically been approached as a specialty niche driven by specialty technology such as wireless palmtop devices. But with laptop sales outpacing desktop sales, the explosive growth of wireless internet access, and the increasing availability of asynchronous education, the truth is that m-learning is rapidly becoming commonplace in a way that is fundamentally changing the educational experience. Rather than being a place away from daily life where students cloister themselves to study, the "learning environment" is becoming a lens and a prism through which students can see their world in new ways as they go through their daily work and personal lives. In this talk, we will explore these possibilities of the classroom without walls.
Title: Practical Applications of Mobile Technologies
Presenter: Rick Costanza, SLN Campus MID Coordinator, MCC
Description:
Will focus on the potential application of various mobile technologies for use in instruction.
Lunchtime Presentation
Presenter: Joeann Humbert, Director, RIT Online Learning
Description:
The Horizon Report 2005 has outlined six areas of emerging technology that are likely to have a large impact on teaching, learning and creative expression within higher education and several trends which underlie these choices. The Report is a collaborative effort between the New Media Consortium (NMC) and the National Learning Infrastructure Initiative (ELI), an Educause Program and produced with the support of McGraw Hill. In most universities, faculty have the opportunity to explore new teaching technologies and methods. There are powerful examples of change for faculty, students and in the learning environment as a result of instructional technologies. This presentation will outline the six areas, demonstrate and share a few examples.
Mobile Technology Conference – PM presentation
Title: Emerging Technologies in Blended Courses
Presenters:
Michael Starenko, RIT Instructional Designer
Katie McDonald, Co-op student in RIT’s Online Learning
Description:
Blended courses, which combine face-to-face instruction with online learning, provide a complex yet hospitable environment for exploring emerging instructional technologies. This presentation will showcase the following technologies/blended courses:
• Breeze web-conferencing for remote-tutoring and in new media courses
• Digital photography in a taxation course
• Remote student-response system in a range of courses
• Captivate animation application in a calculus course
• Stanford Bank Game simulation in a finance course
• Flash-animated simulation in an art history course
• Publisher-supplied gaming/puzzle applications in a foreign language course
Title: Integration of Technology into Nursing Education
Presenters: Martha Kendall, Instructional Technologies, MCC
Pam Korte, Nursing, MCC
Susan Carlson, Nursing, MCC
Description:
The development and integration of innovative technology into nursing education for faculty and students is the subject of this roundtable. It will include a description of the development and use of a computerized assessment system to track and measure change in student knowledge and skills over time. The computerized assessment system consists of: a clinical evaluation tool, a skills evaluation form used to provide immediate feedback to students in the laboratory or clinical setting, and a method of tracking student exam grades, assignment grades and completion of designated clinical skills. The use of PDA’s in the clinical setting to provide information needed to enhance student decision making about patient care will be presented.
