Neal Blurb (for 3/1)

     Higher education in the U.S. is confronted by a rapidly shifting
    intellectual property framework of policy and practice.  How are
    dramatic developments at the international and national level to
    be effectively understood and applied at the campus level so as to
    enable and support the work of students and faculty?  This talk
    will highlight key legislative and legal activities, describe the diversity
    of responses by libraries, IT organizations and faculty, and encourage
    wider involvement by the academic community in the copyright
    arena.

Seamon Blurb (for 4/30)

Autobiographical memory is our personal recollection of the past that  
is often associated with emotion. I teach two courses on memory: Psy  
221: Human Memory and Psy 321: Memory in the Movies. In the second  
course, I use film to teach about memory, and I decided to illustrate  
autobiographical memory by telling a story about the early days of  
Rock 'n' Roll, based on my personal recollections. With ITS, I made  
two dvds covering the years 1955 - 1964 and 1964 - 1972. Both dvds  
are roughly an hour in length, and both are filled with pictures,  
videos, and lots of great music, along with my memories and narration  
to tie all the material together. I'll show portions of both dvds to  
illustrate how this works.

===== Visual Resources, Educational Technologies & Teaching: a Collaborative Faculty Support Model. =====
From Suzanne Javorski

The four speakers, all from Johns Hopkins University, 
described a campus partnership that focuses on educational technology and 
pedagogy. They included the Curator of the Visual Resources Collection, the 
Librarian for Art History, Classics and Philosophy, the Assistant Director 
of the Center for Educational Resources and the Senior Information 
Technology Specialist in the Humanities.  Their presentation was geared 
specifically towards art history ( being an art history conference), but 
the model can be used across the curriculum.  They described what CER is 
and who their staff  is comprised of (instructional designers and 
technologists), discussed the projects that the Center for Educational 
Resources (CER) develop for faculty and make available to the rest of the 
world; described how WebCT is used at Johns Hopkins (a good follow-up to 
Susan Fliss's BlackBoard talk); gave an ARTstor/MDID image use overview, 
and more.   They were all excellent speakers and clearly satisfied with how 
their collaboration was serving faculty.

I spoke with Mike Reese (CER) and Donald Juedes (Library) at the end of the 
session to ask if they made their presentations to other institutions to 
which they excitedly replied yes.  Upon seeing Wesleyan on my name tag they 
said that they have a fairly recent Wes grad (Theron Feist) on staff who is 
doing great things for them.  They would ask him to come along.

===== Exploring New Worlds in Old Texts: Using the Text Encoding Initiative in the Undergraduate Classroom =====


Domingo Ledezma and Scott Hamlin
Wheaton College

Tuesday, March 21, 12 Noon
Sheridan Center, 96 Waterman St.

How can we encourage undergraduate students to be engaged, critical  
readers of literary
and historical texts? Primary source materials (texts, maps, images)  
can be challenging to
navigate and interpret, but involving students in the analysis and  
encoding of the text helps
them develop a deep understanding of content, context and relevant  
technology. In this
talk, we will show an experiment at Wheaton College -a collaboration  
among faculty,
students and an instructional technologist. We used the Guidelines of  
the Text Encoding
Initiative (TEI, <http://www.tei-c.org/>http://www.tei-c.org/) to  
produce an annotated
digital edition of a 16th-century publication, (Libro de los  
infortunios y naufragios, -The
Book of the Misfortunes and Shipwrecks- by Gonzalo Fernandez de  
Oviedo, Seville 1535).
This work demonstrates a successful pedagogical model, which  
simultaneously furthers
faculty scholarly research.

Domingo Ledezma is an Assistant Professor in the Department of  
Hispanic and Italian
Studies at Wheaton College. His research is on New World Early Modern  
literatures and New
World historiography. Scott Hamlin is a Faculty Technology Liaison  
for the Arts,
Humanities, and Education departments at Wheaton College. He works  
with faculty, staff,
and students to create and sustain effective learning experiences,  
support the goals of the
college curriculum, and increase information fluency though the use  
of technology.
