These sessions will feature faculty demonstrations and small group discussion highlighting the use of educational technology by UO faculty. Come share your experiences and listen to your colleagues comment on theirs.
Jennifer Freyd, Psychology
Elizabeth Rocha, Public Policy and Management Planning
Electronic mail and e-mail mailing lists such as listservs are useful tools for a variety of instructional tasks ranging from online office hours to facilitating group projects. Professors Rocha and Freyd are heavy and successful users of listservs in their courses. Join them as they share tips on how to make this technology work for you.
This session will also be broadcast on the Internet (IP/TV), for reception anywhere on campus. See <http://cc.uoregon.edu/iptv/> for further information.
William G. Loy, Geography
Lauren Tank, Pierian Springs Software
Professor Loy and his colleagues in the Department of Geography have developed several multimedia geography projects -- including the Atlas of Oregon and ExplOregon CD-ROM -- using Digital Chisel, multimedia authoring software by Pierian Spring Software. This presentation will discuss the multimedia development process used in these projects and will demonstrate Digital Chisel as applied to projects in geography.
Ron Mitchell, Political Science
Professor Mitchell will discuss his experience with using the Web as a means of increasing student-teacher interaction. He currently uses his course Web page for computer simulations of strategic interaction problems (Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons"), Motet for posting student paper titles and abstracts, providing lecture notes to students, and surveys of student opinions. He has also had students evaluate how they believe web components have helped or harmed their learning, and has done pre-test/post-test evaluations to evaluate more objectively whether web technology helped or hindered student learning.
This session will also be broadcast on the Internet (IP/TV), for reception anywhere on campus. See <http://cc.uoregon.edu/iptv/> for further information.
Bertram Malle, Psychology
Suzanne Clark, English
Publishing course information such as syllabi on the Web is becoming increasingly common. What sorts of material are most effectively published? How can one do such publishing without an inordinate new time committment? What are the advantages and pitfalls? Join two faculty members who have used the web for class materials heavily to discuss these issues. Explore the costs and benefits of web-based course materials.
This session will also be broadcast on the Internet (IP/TV), for reception anywhere on campus. See <http://cc.uoregon.edu/iptv/> for further information.
Holly Arrow, Psychology
Michael Sweet, Teaching Effectiveness Program
TBA, Computing Center
Several courses have experimented with group conferencing using the "Motet" conferencing system as an alternative to e-mail for class discussion and homework submission. Join two faculty members who have been heavy and successful users of Motet in a discussion of how and why one might effectively use Motet at UO.
This session will also be broadcast on the Internet (IP/TV), for reception anywhere on campus. See <http://cc.uoregon.edu/iptv/> for further information.
Al Stavitsky, Journalism
Mick Westrick, Journalism
The University of Oregon is currently engaged in a pilot project to evaluate IP/TV, a product that allows digital video multicasts via network direct to your computer. The School of Journalism is currently developing content for delivery over this medium. Discuss the technology with faculty who are currently experimenting with it!
In addition to demonstrating the reception of networked video, this session will also be broadcast on the Internet (IP/TV), for reception anywhere on campus. See <http://cc.uoregon.edu/iptv/> for further information.
Nancy Cheng, Architecture
Using CAD, Internet and computer-supported collaborative work technologies, the Virtual Design Studio brings together students from different parts of the globe, including UBC (Vancouver), MIT (Boston), Cornell (Ithaca), ETSAB (Barcelona), and HKU (Hong Kong), to work in a virtual atelier on a common design project based in Asia. Professor Cheng will explain how the project has evolved from its start in 1992 with simple file exchange to recent World Wide Web-based techniques. She will address future directions: how the Internet can bring immediacy to the study of places and how it can improve architectural education.
Greg Bothun, Physics
Stanley Micklavzina, Physics
The Physics Department has developed an extensive series of demos and simulations using the Java programming language, for access over the World Wide Web. The session will demonstrate the project's current generation of interactive java experiments, and will discuss the potential uses of Java-based tools in instruction.
This session will also be broadcast on the Internet (IP/TV), for reception anywhere on campus. See <http://cc.uoregon.edu/iptv/> for further information.
Ray Arkin, Computing Center
Find out how easy it is to create dynamic lectures or presentations with Microsoft PowerPoint. This hands-on introduction will help you learn how to use it to organize your lecture, turn a simple outline into a colorful slide show, create course handouts and notes, and add graphics and special effects to enhance your presentations. For Windows 95, Windows 3.1, and Macintosh users. No prior experience required.
JQ Johnson, Library
This demonstration workshop will provide an overview of existing computer-related tools and resources to improve and enhance presentations or lectures. Various methods of creating presentations will be explored, including some specific examples of current presentation hardware and software solutions for both Macintosh and Windows platforms used to create handouts, transparencies, slides, or computer-projected presentations. The major focus will be on technologies currently available on the UO campus for projecting computer-generated lecture materials.
Terry Smith, Library
Matt Reynolds, Library
A hands-on introduction to writing and publishing on the World Wide Web. Topics include the architecture of the World Wide Web, introduction to the hypertext language (HTML) used in most Web documents, and a consideration of what materials one might publish.
