Overcoming the Technology Resistance Movement: 10 Ideas
January 13, 2010
Over the past decade, we all have heard technology resistance stories. Some might say
reticence, reluctance, or hesitancy (sorry this last one is not an "r" word; though we could
add "restrained" and "reserved" to the list...smile). Ok, in any event, K-12 teachers, college
instructors, corporate trainers, and so on all feel some tug on them to be cautious or to be
a tad resistant to new technology integration ideas or shifting their teaching from face-to-
face settings to fully online and blended ones.
Of course, change is hard. Even harder is keeping up with possible changes in front of us
or to our sides. Frustration often sets in quickly when one does try to keep up. So
resistance is often a natural barrier to said frustrations. Before I proceed any further, let
me point out that such feelings of resistance have significantly dropped in the past year or
two. I notice this almost everywhere i visit. I think we have moved from the technology
awareness (Stage 1) and technology resistance (Stage 2) stages or phases to Technology
Understanding (Stage 3) and Technology Use (Stage 4). These are the stages as I see them
with Technology Application Sharing and Marketing (Stage 5) and Technology Discussion,
Reflection, and Revamping (Stage 6) and so on to come later. I just made some of this up
so please do not use it for training just yet...unless you want.
I get the question about faculty resistance so often after speaking about it that I wrote a
chapter about how to deal with it in my 2008 book, Empowering Online Learning: 100+
Activities for Reading, Reflecting, Displaying, and Doing...also called the "R2D2" book.
Here is the reference for the R2D2 book:
Bonk, C. J., & Zhang, K. (2008). Empowering Online Learning: 100+ Activities for Reading,
Reflecting, Displaying, and Doing. San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass.
Well, as with many things I do, I wrote too much. So, the publisher decided that it was one
of the six chapters that needed to be deleted. Well, fortunately or unfortunately, it is the
most popular of "the missing chapters." Seems everywhere I go to speak, those in the
audience ultimately ask about administrators, staff, and instructors who are more hesitant
and what do to about them. When I get home, I send them the missing chapter titles
"Overcoming the Technology Resistant Movement."
I tell them that if you want a copy of it, send me a note at "curt at worldisopen.com." You
can do so as well. Or, now you can get the shortened version that came out 1-2 days ago
in the "Inside the School" newsletter from Magna Publications in Madison, Wisconsin.
This article was posted in conjunction with a Webinar I will do for them in a few days (to be
“Utilizing Web 2.0 Apps to Enhance Teaching & Learning” 8
honest, the Webinar was taped last month when I visited Madison). Here is the online
newsletter article citation.
Bonk, C. J. (2010, January 11). Overcoming the Technology Resistance Movement,
Inside the School (http://www.insidetheschool.com/), Magna Publications, Madison, WI.
Available: http://www.insidetheschool.com/articles/overcoming-the-technology-resistance-
movement/
Read the 10 ideas in there (e.g., modeling, mentoring, training, sharing, celebrating, etc.)
and see what you think. Please note that I was limited to length. It is around 1,100-1,200
words I think. If you have more suggestions, place a comment with them. I have more
ideas as well. Keep in mind that Inside the School is for K-12 educational personnel.
However, this was originally written with college instructors and corporate trainers in mind
as well as K-12 teachers. Hence, the list can be reused and repackaged in many ways and
perhaps serve as starter text for a conversation with instructors or instructional designers
about technology resistance or hesitancy. Hope you enjoy it.
It is nothing that special but people seem to enjoy having such a list of options to change
the culture. There is no one solution. It is a systemic or cultural initiative that needs to take
place for true change and progress forward. And on we will most certainly go...hopefully
forward. Again, if you want the entire chapter we wrote, just let me know. It will make it in
one of my next books

“Utilizing Web 2.0 Apps to Enhance Teaching & Learning” 12
What is Just-in-Time Teaching? G. Novak, gnovak@iupui.edu
Learning technologies should be designed to increase, and not to reduce, the amount of personal
contact between students and faculty on intellectual issues.
(Study Group on the Conditions of Excellence in American Higher Education, 1984)
Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT for short) is a teaching and learning strategy based on the interaction
between web-based study assignments and an active learner classroom. Students respond
electronically to carefully constructed web-based assignments which are due shortly before class,
and the instructor reads the student submissions "just-in-time" to adjust the classroom lesson to
suit the students' needs. Thus, the heart of JiTT is the "feedback loop" formed by the students'
outside-of-class preparation that fundamentally affects what happens during the subsequent in-
class time together.
What is Just-in-Time Teaching designed to accomplish?
JiTT is aimed at many of the challenges facing students and instructors in today's classrooms.
Student populations are diversifying. In addition to the traditional nineteen-year-old recent high
school graduates, we now have a kaleidoscope of "non-traditional" students: older students,
working part time students, commuting students, and, at the service academies, military cadets.
They come to our courses with a broad spectrum of educational backgrounds, interests,
perspectives, and capabilities that compel individualized, tailored instruction. They need
motivation and encouragement to persevere. Consistent, friendly support can make the difference
between a successful experience and a fruitless effort. It can even mean the difference between
graduating and dropping out. Education research has made us more aware of learning style
differences and of the importance of passing some control of the learning process over to the
students. Active learner environments yield better results but they are harder to manage than
lecture oriented approaches. Three of the "Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate
Education" encourage student-faculty contact, increased time for student study, and cooperative
learning between students.
To confront these challenges, the Just-in-Time Teaching strategy pursues three major goals:
• 1. To maximize the efficacy of the classroom session, where human instructors are
present.
• 2. To structure the out-of-class time for maximum learning benefit.
• 3. To create and sustain team spirit. Students and instructors work as a team toward the
same objective, to help all students pass the course with the maximum amount of
retainable knowledge.
What JiTT is Not
Although Just-in-Time Teaching makes heavy use of the web, it is not to be confused with either
distance learning (DL) or with computer-aided instruction (CAI). Virtually all JiTT instruction
occurs in a classroom with human instructors. The web materials, added as a pedagogical
resource, act primarily as a communication tool and secondarily as content provider and
organizer. JiTT is also not an attempt to 'process' large numbers of students by employing
computers to do massive grading jobs.
The JiTT Feedback Loop
“Utilizing Web 2.0 Apps to Enhance Teaching & Learning” 13
The Web Component
JiTT web pages fall into three major categories:
• 1. Student assignments in preparation for the classroom activity: WarmUps and Puzzles.
• 2. Enrichment pages. Short essays on practical, everyday applications of the course
subject matter, peppered with URLs to interesting material on the web. These essays
have proven themselves to be an important motivating factor in introductory service
courses, where students often doubt the current relevance the subject.
• 3. Stand alone instructional material, such as simulation programs and spreadsheet
exercises.
For detailed examples of the JiTT web resources, please see the JiTT resources page.
WarmUps and Puzzles are the heart of the JiTT web component. These are short, web-based
assignments, prompting the student to think about the upcoming lesson and answer a few
simple questions prior to class. These questions, when fully discussed, often have complex
answers. The students are expected to develop the answer as far as they can on their own.
We finish the job in the classroom. These assignments are due just a few hours before class
time. The responses are delivered to the instructor electronically to form the framework for the
classroom activities that follow. Typically, the instructors duplicates sample responses on
transparencies and takes them to class. The interactive classroom session, built around these
responses, replaces the traditional lecture/recitation format.
Students complete the WarmUp assignments before they receive any formal instruction on a
particular topic. They earn credit for answering a question, substantiated by prior knowledge
and whatever they managed to glean from the textbook. The answers do not have to be
complete, or even correct. In fact, partially correct responses are particularly useful as
classroom discussion fodder. In contrast to WarmUps, Puzzle exercises are assigned to
students after they have received formal instruction on a particular topic. The Puzzles serve
as the framework for a wrap-up session on a particular topic.
The WarmUps, and to some extent the Puzzles, are undergirded by education research and
target a variety of specific issues. The list of targeted issues might contain: developing
concepts and vocabulary, modeling -- connecting concepts and equations, estimation- getting
a feel for magnitudes, relating technical scientific statements to "common sense",
understanding the scope of applicability of equations, etc. The targeted issues are highly
content specific. They may involve the characteristics of a particular class (e.g. the
background skills of a particular student body).
In preparing WarmUp assignments for an upcoming class meeting, we first create a
conceptual outline of the lesson content. This task is similar to the preparation of a traditional
passive lecture. As we work on the outline, we pay attention to the pedagogical issues that we
need to focus on when in the classroom. Are we introducing new concepts and/or new
notation? Are we building on a previous lesson, and if so, what bears repeating? What are the
important points we wish the students to remember from the session? What are the common
difficulties typical students will face when exposed to this material? (Previous classroom
experience and teaching and learning literature can be immensely helpful here). Once this
outline has been created, we create broadly based questions that will force students to
grapple with as many of the issues as possible. We are hoping to receive, in the student
responses, the framework on which we build the in-class experience.
“Utilizing Web 2.0 Apps to Enhance Teaching & Learning” 14
The Active Learner Classroom
The JiTT classroom session is intimately linked to the electronic preparatory assignments the
students complete outside of class. Exactly how the classroom time is spent depends on a variety
of issues such as class size, classroom facilities, and student and instructor personalities. Mini-
lectures (10 min max) are often interspersed with demos, classroom discussion, worksheet
exercises, and even hands-on mini-labs. Regardless, the common key is that the classroom
component, whether interactive lecture or student activities, is informed by an analysis of various
student responses.
In a JiTT classroom students construct the same content as in a passive lecture with two
important added benefits. First, having completed the web assignment very recently, they enter
the classroom ready to actively engage in the activities. Secondly, they have a feeling of
ownership since the interactive lesson is based on their own wording and understanding of the
relevant issues.
The give and take in the classroom suggests future WarmUp questions that will reflect the mood
and the level of expertise in the class at hand. In this way the feedback loop is closed with the
students having played a major part in the endeavor.
From the instructor's point of view, the lesson content remains pretty much the same from
semester to semester with only minor shifts in emphasis. From the students' perspective,
however, the lessons are always fresh and interesting, with a lot of input from the class.
We designed JiTT to improve student learning in our own classrooms and have been encouraged
by the results, both attitudinal and cognitive. We attribute this success to three factors that
enhance student learning, identified by Alexander Astin* in his thirty year study of college student
success:
• 1. Increased amounts and quality of student-student interaction
• 2. Student-faculty interaction
• 3. Student study outside of class.
By fostering these, JiTT promotes student learning and satisfaction.

E. Organizing Writing
1. To make a table of contents in the beginning of a Wikibook or insert multiple chapters in a
single topic website, use headings. Then, the Wiki software automatically generates a
table of contents from them (see the following steps about headings for more details).
Please do not skip levels, like from two (i.e., = = ) to four equals signs (i.e., = = = =).
Example:
= = Behaviorism = = Contents [hide]
= = = xxxx = = = 1 Behaviorism
= = = xxxx = = = 1.1 xxxx
= = Cognitivism = = 1.2 xxxx
= = Constructivism = = 2 Cognitivism
3 Constructivism
2. To make headings with underlines, click the button on the edit toolbar after selecting
the text that you want to edit on the screen. Or, put two equal signs on each side.
Example:
= =Behaviorism= = Behaviorism
3. To make subsections, three equal signs on each side.
Example: = = =Behaviorism= = = Behaviorism
4. To make smaller subsections, four equal signs on each side.
Example: = = = Behaviorism= = = = Behaviorism
5. To make unordered lists, start every line with a star.
Example:
*Behaviorism Behaviorism
6. To make deeper level of unordered lists, start every line with more starts.
Example:
*Behaviorism Behaviorism
**1800s 1800s
***1820 Brown 1820 Brown
7. To make ordered lists, start every line with a sharp.
Example:
#Behaviorism 1. Behaviorism
##1820 Brown 1. 1820 Brown
##1885 Brain 2. 1885 Brain
8. To intent a line or paragraph, start text with a colon.
Example:
: Behaviorism Behaviorism
:: 820 Brown 1820 Brown
::: 1885 Brain 1885 Brain
9. To make a new paragraph, insert an empty line, not a single new line.
Example:
Behaviorism as a learning theory, Behaviorism as a learning theory,
“Utilizing Web 2.0 Apps to Enhance Teaching & Learning” 18
can be traced back to Aristotle. can be traced back to Aristotle.
Other philosophers that followed Other philosophers that followed
Aristotle’s… Aristotle’s …
10. To break lines without a new paragraph, type between the lines.
Example:
Behaviorism can be traced back Behaviorism can be traced back to
to Aristotle. Aristotle.
Other philosophers that followed Other philosophers that followed
Aristotle’s thoughts … Aristotle’s thoughts …
11. To insert horizontal lines, click the button on the edit toolbar. Or, type ---- between
the texts.
Example:

Mobile Learning Pilot at Houston C.C.
• Execute the pilot study, learning all that we can of the iPhone's potential to support/enhance/enrich
instruction in various environmental settings.
• Build on what we learn in the pilot toward something more formal, yielding ultimately a permanent
and scalable platform for supporting MLearning across other devices, including iPod/Touch, and
more than 100 other mobile phones.

Mobile Learning at HCC SE
Update and Status Report as of 09/09/09
Introduction:
This brief report is being issued to “punctuate” our work with m-Learning at HCC SE as we move
into the Fall semester. This time has been chosen for the update because our one year Mobile
Learning grant provided by the Chancellor’s Innovation Fund has come to its conclusion as of the
end of August -- budgets winding down, iPhone services cancelled, and now awaiting the final
reporting and dissemination of results.
This report is also being issued at this time to provide an accurate assessment of where we are
today with m-Learning, and to help us focus on the future, where we go from here. Before the
grant was even finished, our work was expanded with the help of Tech Fee monies, with technical
support from the Instructional Technology / CIC department, and widened to involve many
additional players from the original cast. So we did accomplish very much more than the original
ambitions of the grant suggested might be possible.
Our accounting for these works will be somewhat chronological, grouping activities that took
place during the summer before those currently underway for this Fall semester, and then will
look ahead, past the Fall Symposium, to see where we go from here. We will sharpen our
“Update” over the next few weeks, and use the result to guide us in “what is next”.
SUMMER 2009 ACTIVITIES:
• Infusion of Tech Fee resources: Sandra Lebron was able to obtain Tech Fee monies to
purchase a large number of iPod Touch devices to support expanded innovations and
program development. These devices were added to our program and the bulk of those
dispatched to users and students during late Spring and summer (we still have an
inventory of unused devices, and one of the purposes of this report is to drive that
inventory to zero) ---
• Tech Fee Funds were used to purchased iPod Touches for:
A&P and Biol ( 50)
Austin H.S. ( 35)
Art (35)
Learning Communities for GUST 1270/Math 0306 (50)
Library (40)
• HISD: Catherine Smith, from HISD’s Austin High School, created more than six dozen
tutorial videos highlighting functions of the Microsoft Office Suite, to be used in her
summer program, for dual credit with HCC. Students taking Office software classes used
the wireless devices with pre loaded content to help them with drill and practice and
repetition as they learned to operate the software. Her summer program is highlighted at
http://www.hccs.edu/southeast
• GUST 1270: Beverley Hixon hosted student opportunities for using iPod Touch devices
for direct wireless access to internet resources in the summer program for young
students. Roger Boston created twenty two instructional videos teaching how to use the
iPhone/ iPod devices and these were a part of the students’ orientations, after which they
“Utilizing Web 2.0 Apps to Enhance Teaching & Learning” 23
were able to use the devices under the guidance of their instructor for one of their
modules; two separate five-week classes experienced mobile learning activities: Dr.
Jason Apodaca class used iPhones in the Career Exploration module, and library
search.
• Mathematics: Dr. Douglas Bump, Sandra Fittz, and Chris Moore -- Two Learning
Communities ( 50 students) were provided (check out for the semester) with iTouch
devices to be used in various class activities such as mobile blogging, library search, and
access to 55 Math 0306 tutorials preloaded in the ipods. Students participated in two
workshops: one on mobile blogging; and another in accessing library resources using the
iTouch. A survey of students’ perceptions and satisfaction will be taken at the end of the
semester.
• Biology: Chris Moore class used the iTouch for blogging on assigned class topics, and
library research
• Dissemination: Roger Boston attended a by-invitation-only conference in July at Brunel
University, Uxbridge, UK (London’s west side) to facilitate the presentations of others,
and primarily to deliver a repost on the progress of m-learning at HCC. Dr. Lifang Tien
travelled in the same month to Corfu, Greece, to present her research findings drawn
from the early stages of our m=Learning studies. Both these faculty were in China this
summer as well, both visiting universities there to discuss eLearning and its newest
expression, “m-Learning”.
• Biology: Dr.Molly Thomas completed her iPod Instruction group and passed on the
documentation for Dr. Tien to integrate into her reports, while Dr. Tien used the iPod
devices for follow on utility in her Biology class.
• Mathematics: Dr. Douglas Bump had previously created many hundreds of tutorial videos
highlighting the operations of college algebra and geometry, and spent the summer
migrating them o a format suitable for use on the small screen devices. He also
participated in the “summer Fellows” program,(mentioned below).
• Art History: Professors June Woest and Lisa Wildermuth did extensive work this summer
to refine techniques or using iPod devices for live chat, instant messaging, “flash cards”
and other kinds of collaborations in preparation for their hoped for Fall launch of Art
History II (the launch was successful).
• Nutrition: Dr Matash Moussavi did development work on her nutrition class, bringing it
closer to a 100% readiness for distance delivery and via iPod as well.
• m-Learning Portal with JOOMLA: Sandra Lebron’s team built significantly on her
JOOMLA platform, developed during the spring and now expanded and polished during
the summer. A replacement for the learning web tools, it provides small screen friendly
access to content, in a manner so simple that ordinary faculty can craft their own web
pages, made ready fo up to 124 different kinds of mobile devices. This is an ongoing
project by a small group of developers/designers in the Instructional Technology/CIC
department: Antonio Quintero and Alex Nguyen led by Sandra Lebron-Lozada.

• SEC is leading the development of the first HCC mobile portal using a Joomla content
management system (CMS) platform, and a MySQL database. This summer served as
the testing/pilot phase of the system that will be replacing the existing SEC Learning
Web. The focus of the mLearning portal at SEC is on instructional content (syllabi, course
materials, and resources) that our faculty can published from their own web pages.
• Summer Fellows Program: Related to the above, a half dozen faculty were given
instruction (by Sandra’s team) in the use of JOOMLA to craft their moble friendly web
pages, and those faculty are now many steps closer to hosting their own programs for the
small screen. Progress was made for Computer Science, Astronomy, Art History,
Nutrition, and mathematics, as well as Biology, and the outlines of a History department
web portal.
• Summer Faculty Fellows:
o Dr. Douglas Bump (Math)
o Lisa Wildermuth (Art History)
o June Woest (Art History)
o Karen Saenz (PSYC 2314)
o Catherine Smith
o Dan Donalson (History 1302/1302 Readers
• IT positioning at District Level; While these things above were happening, Bill Carter’s
team has been in frequent contact with vendors, primarily AT&T, to explore how best
HCC can make wireless tools available to our students. He is also concerned with
providing a unified, standardized portal for all of HCC, which provides access
independent of what the platform might be, and this includes the small screens.
• “Virtual Computing Lab”: Perhaps the most powerful step forward taken this summer was
the successful activation of our Citrix server systems for delivering APPLICATIONS to
remote computers, including mobile devices. We have seen it working- complicate
programs, like Microsoft Office, fully functioning on an Apple iPod/ Touch and iPhones
(and other phones as well). We can now provide virtually any licensed software to be
operated on virtually any smart mobile phone. This is huge!
• The Virtual Computing Lab is a project of the Instructional Technology/CIC department in
partnership with Citrix, Inc. -- a worldwide leading company in virtualization technology.
Pete Medina and the Citrix’ consultants completed a proof of concept (POC) that will
served as the first platform to deliver remote access to students to course instructional
applications and desktops-- on demand-- 24/7 through the Internet (cloud computing) .
This VCL has a mobile client component for remote access to software applications using
mobile devices (phones, iTouch, PDA) with internet wireless connectivity
FALL 2009 ACTIVITIES:
• HISD: The work at Austin High School continues, with several sections of integrated
office software doing dual credit work with HCC SE, and building around he summer pilot
for he use of iPod/ Touch devices. Their mathematics teachers have asked to be a part
of this, and their request is under evaluation at this writing.
“Utilizing Web 2.0 Apps to Enhance Teaching & Learning” 25
• Biology Dr Molly Thomas: Dr. Thomas has plans to use the iPod Touch devices again
this Fall with her students, following similarly her experiences in the Spring, but this time
using PRE LOADED content, not spooling it down live from the internet, as before
• Biology Dr Lifang Tien: Similarly, Dr. Tien has plans to use the iPod Touch devices again
this Fall with her students, following similarly her experiences in the Spring, but this time
using PRE LOADED content, not spooling it down live from the internet, as before
• Art History, Lisa Wildermuth and June Woest: These two art instructors have gained
considerable experience during the summer with iPod Touch devices and they did launch
their Art History II course successfully this Fall. They will utilize the collaborative features
such as instant messaging, chat, blog posting, as well as accessing web resources, short
quizzes and examinations – they are fast becoming our most sophisticated users of m-
Learning technology!
• Math Learning Communities: Dr. Bump is teaching two courses his Fall, Math 0306,
using his videos pre loaded onto the iPod Touch devices so they will not have to be
spooled down from the web in real time. But his online access via the summer load of his
JOOMLA web presence is still in place for when it may be needed, as in someone trying
to access his materials who may NOT have preloaded the content. He is using these
devices to provide multimedia review materials and to facilitate testing.
• “Virtual Computing Lab”: This project is snowballing fast, opening an exciting new door
for mobile learning – iPod and other mobile users NEED NOT have the software on their
own devices (it most likely can not be run on these devices anyway) in order to use the
software. HCC SE can now SERVE the software application directly to the mobile device
in he same way we used o serve CONTENT. This is a very big development.
• The VCL project will continue under the auspices of the SEC Instructional
Technology/CIC department and a district’s IT group to move into a pilot of the remote
applications, virtual desktop, with a mobile access client component with a selected
group of courses including drafting, astronomy, real estate, intensive English, and natural
sciences.
• Regional Portal: HCC SE has crafted the beginnings of a regional portal for mobile
learning using the JOOMLA platform for ease of update. This portal is being refined and
polished during the Fall term and will be made to interface with whatever portal is finally
put in place at the district level. Sandra Lebron’s team is working to insure that there will
be no compatibility issues between the two front ends.
• District Level Portal and Interfaces; Bill Carter is working the other end, actively
researching the options for a portal that can serve the entire district with mobile access,
while continuing to serve the more traditional users. The web services group at the
district’s IT started a search for a district-wide mobile platform. Our SEC Instructional
Technology/CIC team will be presenting in a future Web Crew committee meeting
regarding the SEC mobile portal developing and challenges, and current best practices in
Higher Ed.
• District Level support for wireless Access: His team (Bill Carter) is also in dialogue with
the vendors, to discover the best and most efficient and economical ways that wireless
“Utilizing Web 2.0 Apps to Enhance Teaching & Learning” 26
access can be provided to our students. IT is scheduled an upgrade of the Eastside
campus wireless network as part of the Angela and Felix Morales’ renovation. The new
learning hub will be wireless. Meanwhile, additional access point antennas were
purchased and will be installed in various locations at Eastside to expand wireless
access.
• Coleman Center for Spring 2010: Dr. Art Tyler has asked that we contact Coleman
Center to be sure their ambitions to get involved with mobile learning can be served by
the beginning of the Spring semester. We will make the contacts there, identify a
champion, and work with them to pass on what we have learned, and help them to board
this train.
• Fall m-Learning Symposium: We are looking at a date of October 30, a Friday, for our
Fall m-Learning symposium. The event last April 17 will be very hard to top, but we
believe we have much to report, and feel also that it is the right timing to bring our
progress and our unfinished business to an enterprise wide discussion. Our team is
already at work to plan this event
• Chancellor Briefing: A the Chancellor’s request, we have done a thorough briefing for the
Chancellor and the Vice Chancellor of Instruction. They are supportive, encouraging,
and hopeful that we can move this initiative forward with a sustainable budget, making
mobile learning another part of what we do here on an on gong basis.
CONCERNS/ OPPORTUNIITIES:
• District Portal: The issue of what the “front end” to the HCC web should look like is a
larger one than we can tackle alone. Bill Carter has taken this one to lead, but we need
progress there so that we can mesh seamlessly with the regional portals as they are
developed.
• Regional Portal: This one is hand in glove with the above – HCC SE already has a fine
portal for mobile learning, but it needs improving to make it easier for students to find
content.
• Student Access to wireless: We need to settle our thinking, how students may best gain
access to broadband wireless and take advantage of what we have to offer
• Training for faculty: By the end of September, 2009 a series of faculty training session
will be provided at the CIC to start the migration to the new learning web , and the
developing of the new faculty web pages and course digital content. This fall semester
the developers emphasis in on standardizing the conversion of video/audio content and
streaming, the addition of new tools ( slide shows, podcasts, and blogs), tutorials, and
usability testing.
• Gates Grant: Dr. Cook and others feel that our work with Learning Communities, utilizing
the iPod Touch devices as an active part of these courses and collaborations goes a long
way toward satisfying the language and expectations of the recent gates grant. We need
to follow this up to discover wht parts of he Gates grant budget cal for a technology
component, and see who what we are doing folds into the requirements of this grant.
“Utilizing Web 2.0 Apps to Enhance Teaching & Learning” 27
• Met Life Award petition: We intend to nominate our college for recognition for a Met Life
award, the thinking being to pursue the :cloud computing” initiative, using grant resources
to acquire licenses for the applications that will be served through the cloud to mobile
devices, and to support Sandra’s team in the implementation, and to help faculty prepare
their courses for operation under this new configuration.
• Dissemination: We will continue to network with other institutions, hosting events such as
our m-Learning symposiums, speaking and writing in forums where we have been
invited, and generally to remain in our leadership role as the m-Learning phenomena
matures.
• Remaining unused i/Touch Devices – how to keep the momentum: We still have more
iPod Touch devices (100 not yet assigned). We will make those allocations during the
month of September
