What
Constitutes an LTDC?
by Kathy Finder and Donna Raleigh, UW-Eau Claire
Finder and Raleigh surveyed
representatives from UW System campuses to determine what constitutes
a Learning Technology Development Center. The article compares their
findings to the recommendations of the Teaching, Learning, and Technology
(TLT) Group of the American Association of Higher Education. They offer
a list of priorities aimed at promoting professional development in
the effective use of learning technologies.
Bill Cerbin,
Professor of Psychology and Assistant to the Provost and Vice Chancellor
for Academic Affairs at UW-La Crosse, talks about how teaching often
gets confused with learning in higher education--and about his belief
that the ever-increasing use of classroom technologies currently has
little impact on student learning. Read his call for reform.
Involving
the Deaf Community in Distance Learning Using
Blended Technologies and Learning Objects
by Rosemary Lehman, UW-Extension, and Simone Conceição,
UW-Milwaukee
Legislative mandates
for accessibility have recently brought attention to a significant educational
need. Lehman and Conceição report on their collaborative
project, a distance education pilot course in American Sign Language
(ASL), designed to address this need in part. Delivered between UW-Milwaukee
and UW-Madison, the course used the Internet, videoconferencing, and
newly created ASL streaming video objects created expressly for this
project.
