  9. Presentation Overview • Marist College – Who are we? • eLearning 2.0 Deployment Strategy • Quest for innovation • “Learning interaction” framework • Faculty proposal process • Deployment cycle • Demos: Web 2.0 enhanced learning

  10. MARIST COLLEGE • Founded 1929 – small comprehensive liberal arts college • Located in Poughkeepsie, New York • Emphasis on teaching and learning • 5700 FTE student population • 200 full-time faculty, 500 part-time • Technology is a key component of our strategic plan and mission

  11. A Quest for Innovation • Today we mostly “automate” teaching using technology • PowerPoint replace transparencies • “Automation” is easy…“innovation” is hard • Let’s consider the toilet…(Demo) • We use a “learning interactions” framework to focus on innovation

  12. Framework: Learning Interactions • A conceptual framework for learning… • Interactions with content • Interactions with subject matter experts (SME) • Interactions with peers • We push faculty to innovate these interactions using Web 2.0 tools • Part of proposal process • Keeps focus on instruction, not technology

  13. Interactions with Content • Traditional: college textbook • Web 1.0: hyperlinks and hypermedia • Students select pathway through content • Teacher-centered instruction • Web 2.0: social podcasts, wikis • Allows students to construct their own content • Student-centered instruction • Example: IdentityQuest

  14. IdentityQuest: Study Aboard 2.0 • Pedagogical Objective: Integrate the study aboard experience into an online course. • Provided iPods and audio editing software • Students conducted interviews and produced social podcast. • Turned podcast model upside-down • Campus Technology Innovator Award Listen to Student Podcast

  15. Interactions with SME • Traditional: lecture • Web 1.0: video lectures on the web • Increases access to lecture, repeat listening • Lose interactions and community • Web 2.0: skype, blogs, podcasts • Increased access directly to SME • Brings back interactivity and community • Example: InterLangua

  16. InterLangua • Pedagogical Objective: Enrich foreign language instruction through authentic experiences. • Students are linked with native Spanish speakers in Guatemala • Informal conversations focus on cultural exchanges Watch InterLangua Exchange

  17. Interactions with Peers • Traditional: team projects • Web 1.0: discussion forums • Extends discussion time outside of classroom • Limited to text-based medium • Web 2.0: audio conferencing • Synchronous and asynchronous applications • Audio and pictures help create community • Example:iNverse Distance Learning (iDL)

  18. iNverse Distance Learning (iDL) • Strategic Objective: Create distinctive educational experiences that prepare students to work in our global society. • Leverages investment in DL technologies • Learning facilitators enrich “learning interactions” in on-the-ground courses • Pilot began this Fall in Beijing, China YackPack Demonstration

  19. Faculty Proposal Process • Proposals are brief (2-3 pages) • Proposal requires faculty to speak to: • Pedagogical objectives to be met • Strategic goals that will be addressed • Learning interactions that will be enhanced • Method for assessing success • Initial costs and a timeline • Support experimental or pilot deployments

  20. Web 2.0 Deployment Cycle “Walk Through” CultureQuest ??? iDL Proposal YackPack & Flickr iDL Pilot

  21. Leveraging Open Source • Production 2.0: Open source/community source developed applications • Examples at Marist: • Sakai • Podcast Generator • Audacity • Open-Source Portfolio (OSP)
