Date: Wednesday, April 3, 2002, 12:30 - 2:00 pm Location: Dodson Room, Learning Commons, Main Library The World Wide Web world is changing from a read technology to a read AND write technology. WWW software is being created that allows the users to interact with others over the web. This goes beyond sending email. It allows users to work collaboratively in creating, editing, annotating, sharing and managing documents. It is allowing the education world to create collaborative online environments. The workshop will introduce you to collaborative software and its uses both in and out of the classroom.

Date: Monday, March 11, 2002, 2:00 - 3:30 pm Location: Conference room, Peter Wall Institute, University Centre The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is ìthe universal format for structured documents and data on the Web.î XML is rapidly changing the way Web software is developed, and has given rise to a new generation of Web-based applications and services. But just exactly what is XML, and why is it facilitating such changes? We will examine the reasons for this, beginning by looking at the history of the Web, and the reasons for the creation of XML. We will then move on to consider how XML is driving current Web technologies, such as Web portals, Web-based instructional applications, academic computing, and business.

Date: Monday, March 4, 2002, 10:00 - 11:30 am Location: Dodson Room, Learning Commons, Main Library Although the investment in technology has never been greater, instructors are still challenged to successfully integrate technology into their classrooms. What are the key elements to successful technology programs? What are the impediments? In this presentation, we will explore different models of educational technology integration in post-secondary classrooms, as well as look at how emerging technology may change classrooms.

Date: Monday, February 11, 2002, 10:00 - 11:30 am Location: Conference room, Peter Wall Institute, University Centre Where is our rapidly changing technology taking us? No one knows for sure, but in this session Howard Strauss will take a considered look at the past and at some recent trends, and challenge you to think about possible revolutionary impacts of technology. The biggest impact of all may be on education, which Howard speculates will return to something closer to the model used by Plato, assisted of course, by a new generation of intelligent devices and software.
Bio:Howard Strauss is the manager of Academic Applications, a group at Princeton University that focuses on improving teaching and research for Princeton faculty.

Online Instruction for the 21st Century: ID and Reusability. Quote: "Emerging standards for materials development have been driven by technologists, who have deliberately postponed dealing with issues of learning and instruction, arguing that there are many different instructional theories, and that a good technical foundation will accommodate any of them. Different voices have been raised about the dangers of this approach, and sometimes heard, among the standards development groups. Despite this, the technologists have ruled, arguing that the architectures they are proposing will fully permit the implementation of a thousand different instructional strategies, not ruling out anything important. This assumption must be challenged, and can be challenged from several different perspectives. There are several important perspectives on the design of systems that will operate over the internet. Good instruction is only one of these perspectives" 11:52:46 AM | # | |

Sleeping on the problem shed light on the solution: Categories, categories, categories. Different categories for different levels of access. Polished thoughts will belong to more categories than personal ramblings; all entries will go into my 'Journal' category. All categories can be rendered to an offsite FTP sites. Interested parties will be directed the URL with the appropriate 'window' on the blog. Now this is the tool I have been dreaming of for years! 8:25:19 AM | # | |
