The TLT Group

Teaching, Learning, and Technology

Online Institute—
ePortfolios

Co-Sponsored by AAC&U and ePAC

Brought to UNI by ITS-Educational Technology and the Office of Academic Assessment

April 16, 23, 30 — 11:00-Noon CDT

StudioIT 1, ITTC 134 (#20 on the campus map)

Leaders:  Darren Cambridge, George Mason University, and Steve Ehrmann, TLT Group

Course Description:   ePortfolios are promising, unevenly implemented, and rapidly evolving. Some see ePortfolios primarily in terms of assessment/accountability, while others focus primarily on their use to create a stimulating, empowering learning environment. And those aren't the only possible goals.

This workshop will deal with three major issues:
    a) what are ePortfolios and how are they currently being used?
    b) what factors and barriers should be considered in planning an ePortfolio initiative?
    c) how can a program use feedback from faculty and students to guide the development of the initiative?

There is no fee for UNI faculty/staff to attend these StudioIT sessions.

J.B. Wiskell, Bonita Bray, University of Alberta
Dr. Curtiss Hanson, Jason Vetter, University of Northern Iowa

Engineering, math and other science topics can be challenging to support online. What works and does not work? How does one get started? The facilitators will describe how they use a variety of online tools inside and outside the course management system to address their learning and teaching issues. They will speak to some innovative and effective techniques and approaches that can be used more broadly in science and engineering contexts.

How to Prevent PowerPoint Overload

Speaker:  Cliff Atkinson, Author & Speaker, Sociable Media
 Seminar Overview: Aligning your multimedia message with the way the mind works.
 When the lights go down and a presenter starts reading bullet points from a slide, do you ever feel bored, frustrated, or sleepy? If so, there's research that indicates that it's probably not your fault.  It turns out that the conventional bullet-point approach can quickly overload the ability of the human mind to understand information. But now there's a better way.  By understanding the basic research that explains how the mind works, you can radically transform your PowerPoint approach to produce simpler and clearer communications.  By the end of the seminar, you'll have the concepts and tools you need to start presenting more clearly and effectively!

In this seminar you will learn how to:
  • Respect the limitations of short-term memory
  • Use Notes Page view to balance visual and verbal elements
  • Use visual cues to reinforce for both you and the audience the most important points
