Thank you for attending the fifth annual Southwest Institute for Learning with Technology on May 18-19, 2009. Please visit tracks for links to selected recorded sessions and supplemental files (such as powerpoint presentations).

During Spring 2009 Showcase: Discovering New Approaches with Technology, NAU faculty showed how they used wikis, podcasting, video capturing, tablet PCs, and self-paced tutorials to enhance their teaching and research.

Recorded sessions are now available.

During Fall 2008 Showcase: Tools and Approaches, four one-hour faculty-led panel discussions will focus on incorporating some of the latest learning tools and approaches into your classes, such as podcasting through iTunes U; digital image, video and music databases through Cline Library; online evaluations; and supplementing in-person courses with online learning.

Videotaped sessions are now available (see watch videotaped sessions link). You may need to download and install the Silverlight application to view the taped sessions. Also, PC users should view these sessions with Internet Explorer. Mac users can use both Firefox and Safari.

Thank you for participating. Podcast recordings of selected sessions will be available in August 2008.

Join us for the Spring 2008 Showcase on Friday, April 4 from 10am to 3pm in Cline Library, Room 200. This e-Learning Showcase will highlight how faculty engage students beyond course centric activities. Attendees may attend all or part of the event.

In this session, faculty will talk about the ways technology is used in large classes they teach. What impact does this integration of technology have on student learning? Paul Helford (Communication), Michelle Miller (Psychology), Catherine Ueckert (Biology), Linda Neff (Anthropology, e-Learning Center).

You are invited to the Fall 2007 e-Learning Showcase, "Blackboard Vista and Beyond...". This e-Learning Showcase will spotlight faculty's effective use of Bb Vista and other instructional technologies not as commonly used. 

Come join us to see how newer technologies, such as Google Docs and Spreadsheets, Clickers, Sakai Wiki, Elluminate and more are being successfully used to create more learning centered environments in courses at NAU.

Come join us for the first annual e-Learning Fellows' Findings Round Table at Gardner Auditorium in The W. A. Franke College of Business on October 11th from 2:30-5:00 pm. Faculty fellows appointed by the e-Learning Center in 2006 conducted research studies that reveal teaching trends and practices at NAU. Research topics include the following:

• Pedagogies and Practice:  Laura Umphrey, Communication
• Implementing Technology: JeanAnn Foley, Education, and Cecilia Ojeda, Modern Languages
• Addressing the Needs of All Learners: Bill Huffman, Education, Ann Huffman, Business and Psychology and Joyce DeVoss, Education
• Collaborative Learning and Emerging Tools: Don Carter, Alan Lew, Geography, and Mark Manone, Geology

You now have a Vista shell for your campus course. What are the best ways to use it? See how NAU faculty members use their Vista shells to support their face to face classes.

Teaching with a classroom response system, "clickers", not only engages students through interactive lectures but also helps faculty exploit just-in-time learning opportunities through individualized question answer sessions. Hear faculty perspectives on how this technology encourages student, teacher, and content interactivity in this open forum. Snacks will be provided.

Join us in a discussion of learning spaces. The interplay of learning activities and the spaces we embed them in is an important topic at NAU and nationally. As we construct new buildings and renovate others we need to be intentional in our design of formal, informal, and virtual learning spaces that support engaging and effective learning activities.

Lunch will be provided. Registration is requested to help us gauge food requirements.
