Education Technology Breakthroughs The New Learning Space: Defining Tomorrow’s Campus Virtual and Online Environments: Do We Need Tomorrow’s Campus? Enrollment, Recruitment, and Retention: What Do Students Want? Financial Services: New Ways, New Possibilities Leadership: It’s Clearest at the Front of the Pack
Use of LectUre captUre in professionaL Degree programs Speaker: Terence Ma, Chief Information Officer, Touro University Nevada Focus: A, B, D, F Touro University Nevada has implemented the Mediasite Lecture Capture system in its College of Osteopathic Medicine and our Schools of Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Physician Assistant studies. We currently have fixed recorders in 12 lecture halls/classrooms, representing 100% penetration in our lecture rooms and two mobile recorders that can be used in any other space, such as laboratories. Our policy is that all lectures are automatically recorded and released. Our presentation will focus on: (1) our experiences in developing our institutional policies, (2) challenges with setting up automatically recorded lectures and releases for 100-200 lectures per week, (3) data regarding student utilization of the recordings, and (4) use of information about student viewings of the recorded lectures. 4 open soUrce DrUpaL appLications for HigHer eDUcation Speaker: Peter Guagenti, Vice-President, Services, Acquia Focus: D IT departments are continually faced with a variety of web challenges. These challenges have caused universities to re-examine their online strategies and move from proprietary to open source software. Faculty members, researchers, and educators demand and need new ways to collaborate, publish information online, and interact with students. This has resulted in two trends: widespread Drupal adoption on campuses, and the emergence of Drupal applications tailored for specific needs. These “distributions” reduce development

time and costs, and enable internal resources to focus on developing innovative web experiences. University 2.0 Speaker: Doyle Friskney, Chief Technology Officer, University of Kentucky Focus: A, D, F Students have only known the Internet as a source of education, entertainment, and information. The emergence of mobility, consumerization and “always-on” is expected by the university communities in their personal lives. The Web 2.0 world is giving way to the Web 3.0 cloud world offering resources to all customers, large and small. What will happen as the gap between what students expect and what faculty are comfortable with widens? Is it possible to offer enterprise applications services to today’s mobile student carrying a tablet or a smartphone? What must universities do in the next 36 months to remain relevant? This presentation will address those concerns and provide a 36-month time line for implementing the right infrastructure to be successful. WHy DisrUptive tecHnoLogies faiL to DisrUpt eDUcation Speaker: Thomas Sewell, Dean of Technical Education, Walters State Community College Focus: F Disruptive technologies are often noted as the means to change the very foundations of education. However, these technologies have not produced the broad-scale changes many had hoped for. This presentation outlines the five basic roadblocks to disruptive change and discusses ways to use disruptive technologies in the classroom to bring about fundamental changes. The future use of disruptive technologies, and the expected impact of these technologies on how education operates, will also be discussed. Digitizing tHe campUs: risks, rewards, and overcoming resistance Speaker: Phil Ice, Director of Research and Development, American Public University System Focus: F Higher education has become increasingly dependent upon digital means of capturing information, ranging from the ubiquitous use of email to the creation of terabytes of Word documents on an annual basis. Institutions fail to capitalize on their full potential by utilizing dynamic means of creating representations of learning and processes in multimedia formats. Long considered the province of schools of art and design, cross-curricular integration of multimedia is approached cautiously if at all. Driven by fears of high costs and lack of faculty buy-in, academia has been cautious to a fault in adopting robust means of representing the knowledge generated across campus. This
