Teaching and Learning Conference Welcome to the 9th Annual Teaching and Learning Conference at Elon University! Elon University welcomes area university and college educators to the 9th Annual Teaching and Learning Conference, jointly sponsored by Elon's Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning (CATL) and Teaching and Learning Technologies (TLT) (learn more at elon.edu/teaching). Teaching and learning happen in a wide variety of places and spaces, ranging from the traditional classroom, laboratory, and studio to diverse settings in our local and global communities. During our 2012 conference on teaching, learning, and assessing in traditional and non-traditional settings, we will explore how to design, guide, and evaluate student learning experiences in complex contexts, using tools from cutting-edge technology to old-fashioned rubrics.

Handbook of Research for Educational Communications and Technology A Project of the Association for Educational Communications and Technology Edited by David H. Jonassen Introduction Regardless of your motivation for visiting this site, let me say welcome to the Handbook of Research for Educational Communications and Technology, first published in 1996 by Macmillan Publishers. This Handbook was one of a large series of handbooks that began with the Handbook of Research on Teaching in the 1970s. Another situations prompted discussions about the future of the Handbook. A reasonable inference from these facts and conclusions was that a new edition of the Handbook is needed. Step one is to scan the Handbook and get a .pdf copy of the chapters up on the AECT web server to make it immediately available to scholars. So, I hope that you will find the Handbook even more usable and valuable than the many researchers and students who have had to lug around the print version.

Computing How will the HBP be different from classical Artificial Intelligence? The challenge in Artificial Intelligence (AI) is to design algorithms that can produce intelligent behaviour and to use them to build intelligent machines. It doesn't matter whether the algorithms are biologically realistic – what matters is that they work – the behaviour they produce. In the HBP, we're doing something completely different. The goal is to build data driven models that capture what we've learned about the brain experimentally: its deep mechanics (the bottom up approach) and the basic principles it uses in cognition (the top-down approach). How much memory will you need to store a full description of the brain? Potentially we can always build models that are orders of magnitude larger than the models we can actually simulate on a given supercomputer. How much electrical power will the HBP supercomputer use? Today's digital computers all share a number of basic properties. We think not – for three reasons:
EDUCAUSE Annual Conference 2012 "From registration to individual sessions, this conference exceeded my expectations!" The EDUCAUSE Annual Conference is the premier convening of IT professionals and technology providers across the diverse higher education landscape. The conference creates networking opportunities for colleagues to share ideas regarding strategies, leading change, effective processes, what's working, and sometimes—more importantly—what isn't. The conference programming is derived from member-driven content organized across overarching IT tracks and hosts one of the largest exhibit halls in the industry. In 2016, the annual conference will convene over 7,000 higher ed IT colleagues to explore what keeps us up at night.

BC Open Textbooks | Open Textbooks Adapted and Created by BC Faculty Conference on Higher Education Pedagogy (CHEP) The 6th Annual Conference on Higher Education Pedagogy is focused on higher education teaching excellence and the scholarship of teaching and learning. The conference showcases the best pedagogical practice and research in higher education today. Sessions address disciplinary and interdisciplinary instructional strategies, outcomes, and research. Ultimately, the conference is an opportunity to demonstrate effective instructional practice and disseminate the latest research aimed at improving the quality of higher education. Conference Mobile App - iPhone, iPad, & Android! This year, we have added a conference mobile app for use on Android, iPhone, and iPad devices. To reduce our paper use, we will not be printing full conference proceedings (400+ pages x 1,000 attendees) for attendees. Social Events General Information Pre-Conference Workshops (Take a Look!)

Computational Thinking for Educators - Course What: A free online course helping educators integrate computational thinking into their curriculum Who: Humanities, Math, Science, and Computing educators When: All of the course materials are available as a self-study program. The goal of this course is to help educators learn about computational thinking (CT), how it differs from computer science, and how it can be integrated into a variety of subject areas. The course is divided into five units, each focusing on the following: Introducing Computational Thinking: What is CT? Teaching & Learning Symposium Friday, April 5, 2013 Weber State University, Shepherd Union Building The Conference is free! The Weber State University Teaching & Learning Symposium is dedicated to giving all instructors across campus an opportunity to share and collaborate on a wide array of topics related to student learning. The 2013 Teaching & Learning Symposium invites your participation and attendance on April 5th in the Shepherd Union Building. Research: scholarship on teaching and learning Pedagogy: course tools, curriculum innovations, assessments, reforms, blunders, etc. Issues: discussion panels, open questions, interactive sessions Topics of presentations should be diverse: How is a technology used in a classroom, traditional or online?
