I’m at Faculty Summer Institute at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign preparing for several sessions I will be leading over the next few days. I’m going to attempt to stream 4 sessions I’m leading live online via Ustream as well as record the audio to post to my podcast. This will be an interesting experiment and I look forward to seeing how the quality of the live streams and recordings turn out.
Here are the days/times for these upcoming sessions for anyone who might be interested in taking a peek at any of the sessions online:
- Getting Started Creating Web Pages with Google Page Creator: Tue., May 13, 2008, 8:30am-9:45am (CDT)
- Introduction to Social Bookmarking: Tue., May 13, 2008, 1:30pm-2:45pm (CDT)
- Media Mashups Using Kaltura: Wed., May 14, 2008, 8:30am-9:45am (CDT)
- Getting Started Creating Web Pages with Google Page Creator: Wed., May 14, 2008, 10:15am-11:30am (CDT)
No guarantees, but if all goes well, I’ll be streaming these sessions at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/fsi08
I’m experimenting with quite a few new social networking technologies during this week at FSI but will refrain from posting much more about them here. If interested in keeping posted on these adventures, you can follow me on Twitter.

I’m giving a presentation at the 2008 Sloan-C International Symposium on Emerging Technology Applications for Online Learning on the topic of socially constructed self-paced learning environments. In particular, I discuss the implementation of CMUOnet, an instance of the Elgg open source social application engine, for fostering organic, informal interaction among participants in an online self-paced professional development certificate program.
The slides for the presentation are available here along with the links I reference. If I am successful in recording the audio for my presentation, I’ll eventually add there here as well as on my edtech podcast.

My department at NIU has been working on a new endeavor we are calling “Quick Tips for Effective Instruction” in which we are putting together short multimedia presentations (5-8 minutes) to introduce faculty to different resources and methods for teaching and learning. The presentations are made available in a variety for formats, for viewing either online, as a podcast, or even via YouTube.
Here’s an example of the low-res version of one of the presentations available on YouTube:
For links to other formats of the presentation, such as hi-res online and the text transcript, click here.
The Northern Today, NIU’s weekly online newsletter, recently did a feature article on the project. To read the full story, click here.

I put together this talk to explain in layman’s terms the technological framework and rationale for social bookmarking. This was my first attempt at creating a QuickTime video from an enhanced podcast episode.
