Keynote Speaker

We are proud to have Hall Davidson, Director of Global Learning Initiatives, Discovery Education as our keynote speaker for this year's conference!!  View Hall's bio

Hall will present "Not Your Father's eBook:  New Kinds of Learning Tools for New Kinds of Learners" for the keynote address.

For generations, students lived with textbooks with print DNA: linear, undifferentiated, nondynamic. New ‘techbooks’ arrive with cloud-based media DNA: fluid, differentiated, embedded and rich as the web. Assessments and simulations connect organically to material. The medium of the book itself becomes a tool for learning. Cameras, mashups, and student material merging with the traditional library. QR codes, 3D, and, in the future, face-recognition tools to measure engagement.  This is not your father’s ebook!

HOPE YOU CAN JOIN US!!
 







 

 

Wired Wednesday Webinars

Date: December 7, 2011
Time: 3:00p.m. (EST)
Title: Introduction to FERPA - the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act

Presenter: Bobbi Dubins, Maryland Online COAT Project Director

Description: Every college faculty member needs a basic understanding of FERPA, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Most colleges offer training or information sessions for their faculty, but it is often difficult for colleges to get this information to their adjunct or fully online faculty, who may not be on campus during typical face-to-face training sessions. Excerpted from the MOL Certificate for Online Adjunct Teaching (COAT) course, this session is an introduction to key FERPA concepts. The session includes an overview of what student records are protected under FERPA, what rights students have, and what rights parents have. It includes examples of how to respond to requests for student information in various forms. Finally, it alerts attendees that FERPA policies may differ from institution to institution and the importance of knowing the correct FERPA contact person and policy at their institution.

Title: Copyright in the Online Environment

Presenters: Cindy Steinhoff, Director of the Library, Anne Arundel Community College
                Kimberly Kraus, Access Services Librarian, Anne Arundel Community College

Description: Fair Use, TEACH Act, Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Section 108 – all relate to copyright. But what do they really mean to someone who wants to use a video in an online class or post an article as an online course reserve? Two librarians from Anne Arundel Community College will help you to better understand copyright as it applies to higher education.
