This document discusses how students today use online communication like Facebook to form relationships and connect with others from their school. It notes that when Facebook launched in 2004, it was initially only for college students but expanded to high schoolers in 2005, and by 2005 it had over 9.4 million users and around 85% of colleges were members. The document also points out some positive uses of Facebook like connecting with classmates for study groups or for jobs/organizations to market and recruit.
The document summarizes key portions of a newsletter from UW System Student Representatives regarding the impact of changes to Wisconsin state statute on student governance rights. It notes that students retained their rights to allocate student segregated fees but that the governor did not completely veto all changes, and discusses campus highlights and Senator Baldwin's proposal to make community college free.
This resolution supports Congressional Bill H.R. 6122, which would create guidelines to increase accessibility of educational materials for students with disabilities. It recognizes the university's commitment to inclusion but notes some websites and materials remain inaccessible. It resolves to continue advocating for the bill's passage and working with the university to improve accessibility in line with the bill's goals.
The document provides information about the Public Services Division of the Thomas G. Carpenter Library at the University of North Florida. It summarizes that the division has 6 librarians, 2 vacancies, 2 A&P staff, and 12 USPS staff. The mission of the division is to assist patrons in finding information, provide access to information and services for orientation, and teach research and lifelong learning skills to students and advance faculty engagement. Areas of responsibility include instruction, reference, distance learning, marketing, government documents, interlibrary loans, course reserves, and collections management. It also provides statistics about the student population at UNF.
Students and faculty at the University of Wisconsin System urge Governor Walker to veto recent budget cuts and changes to tenure and shared governance. The Joint Finance Committee approved $250 million in cuts to UW System, eliminated tenure protections, and weakened shared governance between students, faculty and administration. This undermines the rights of students and faculty and damages the quality of education. As Governor Walker previously vetoed changes that violated students' rights to control segregated fees, United Council President Amanda McGovern urges him to continue supporting shared governance by vetoing the changes to tenure and shared governance again.
The document discusses the emerging global system of higher education and its challenges to internationalization. It defines internationalization as integrating an international dimension into teaching, research, and services at institutions. It also notes that globalization means higher education institutions must consider their role in developing global citizenship for their students and themselves. This system challenges institutions to rethink their purpose and functions within a global context.

The document discusses the future role of teachers as collaborative facilitators in online and blended learning environments. It argues that with the rise of Web 2.0 technologies, teachers will act as guides who encourage collaborative knowledge-building between students using tools like blogs, wikis and social media. Teachers will need training to help students leverage informal online spaces for formal learning and assessment of soft skills like collaboration. Overall, the role of teachers is shifting from sole content experts to curators and facilitators of collaborative student-driven learning.
This document discusses how libraries can use social media. It notes that social media allows for sharing of information and expression through virtual communities. Libraries' roles have changed with technological advances, and social media can help libraries promote themselves and attract more users. Reasons for libraries to use social media include giving them a competitive edge, demonstrating their value as information resources, and reaching users who may not otherwise consider the library. Examples are given of how the New York Public Library uses social media like Facebook, Twitter, and Google Hangouts for marketing, customer service, and connecting with users. In conclusion, social media are becoming widely used by libraries for purposes like promotion, reference services, and building user loyalty.

uwrfvoice.com | Chancellor hosts town hall meetingJordan Bartlett
Chancellor Van Galen hosted a town hall meeting to discuss the university budget, differential tuition, the Wisconsin Idea Partnership, and tuition reciprocity with students. The Wisconsin Idea Partnership proposes giving UW institutions more operational flexibility to save money and be more efficient. Due to state budget cuts, UWRF may face an 11% budget reduction, requiring cuts to student services, athletics, and administrative costs. However, differential tuition approved through the Falcon Promise initiative will fund student support services and scholarships. Tuition reciprocity between Wisconsin and Minnesota students will also remain unchanged.

It asks how various stakeholders like students, parents, and colleges could work together using lessons from the sharing economy. The panel would explore challenges and how social media could help in this collaborative selection environment, drawing on interviews from those involved in the process.
Institutional repositories were created in 2003 as a strategic response to issues with scholarly journal publishing and to take advantage of opportunities in the digital environment. They allow universities to retain control over knowledge produced at their institutions by providing open access to scholarship. Repositories can enhance the curriculum by including student work and go beyond archiving to support collaboration and new forms of scholarly communication across disciplines. Challenges include gaining support, increasing awareness of repositories, and managing copyright issues. Solutions involve assessment, outreach to promote usage, and optimization of repositories. The future holds potential for including more community contributions and multimedia content to better support teaching and research.
This document discusses pedagogical strategies for virtual communities and materials design for virtual environments. It defines a virtual community as a group that interacts using electronic communication like email rather than in person. These communities can be for social, professional, educational or other purposes. The document lists several examples of online education resources and virtual learning communities. It stresses that when designing materials for lessons, the skills and needs of participants should be considered, as skills can vary depending on context and opportunities rather than just age alone. Materials development must therefore be adapted to the specific situation.

Keynote at the Emergent Technologies for the Future 2013 conference
Open University - UK
Institutions of learning adapt and change over time. The emergence of certain technologies, social behaviors, cultural expectations, and political and economic pressures influence what institutions do and what they look like. We live at a time when education features prominently in the global press and discussions focusing on improving the ways we design education are a daily occurrence. A central tenet of this discussion is the notion that technology is transforming education. Yet, the assumption that technology changes education often goes unchallenged. In this talk, I will highlight how learning and education are and are not changing as we are faced with new ideas about learning, increased (market-driven) interest in education, decreased state funding for education, and cultures of participation and sharing. Together, we will explore the research on online learning, the opportunities that exist for meaningful change, and the future educational systems that we are creating.

Transforming Traditional Professional Development into Blended Learning Commu...Cristo Leon
The New Jersey Department of Education sought to develop an online professional learning community for 150,000 educators in nearly 600 school districts. The authors present a post-project analysis of the project developed in support of Face-to-Face, Blended, and fully online learning situations. This project created an “Online Professional Learning Exchange” with blended online learning modules and was funded with over two million dollars. The greatest strength of the OPLE tool is to aid the state of NJ to shift their training from expert delivery of knowledge in a face-to-face format towards the Community of Practice. The paper presents a Systematic Review of the Literature, the analysis of Professional Learning and Training Methods, a description of the methods to create Blended Learning Modules focused on video, written materials, polls, and discussions. Through this integrated approach, the OPLE allows for user mastery of concepts that enhance their ability to provide more efficient and effective instruction to their students. Finally, the paper concludes with the results and implications in light of the current world developments and their impact on education.

The future of community based services and educationJolie Ramirez
Community-based learning connects classroom instruction to local communities, history, culture, and environments. It believes communities have intrinsic educational assets that can enhance student learning. Community-based learning grew from concerns about rising college costs, distrust in higher education, and a desire to foster public good. Motivations for community-based learning include institutional goals, professional development, and personal reasons. Advocates argue it should be carefully designed and implemented with teacher training to avoid problems.

To be a successful service learning site, an organization must ensure the partnership is mutually beneficial by considering how it contributes to their mission. They should prepare staff for their role in welcoming students and the scope of the partnership. The organization also needs to address any risk management issues and liability concerns from students accessing their spaces. To support students, the organization should assign responsibility for them and provide orientation. Finally, the organization should measure return on investment by reflecting on how the partnership impacted their mission and whether it was successful enough to repeat.
This document provides a worksheet for professors to plan adding service-learning components to their courses. It prompts them to identify the course's learning goals and current methods of assessing objectives. It then guides them to brainstorm new assignment options where students can apply their skills to create a product benefiting a community partner and identifying potential partners for collaboration. The worksheet aims to help professors integrate experiential learning opportunities through community-engaged projects.
Thinking Outside the Box: Forming Non-Traditional PartnershipsIowa Campus Compact
Inver Hills Community College has formed two strong partnerships with two very different
not-for-profits: The Salvation Army and Lifeworks. This presentation, given by a
representative from each of our agencies, will go into the WHO, WHAT, HOW and WHY of
creating these partnerships, then help session attendees think about the WHEN.

1. Contact community partners early in the planning process and remain flexible to their needs and vision. Meeting with partners in the classroom helps students connect personally and understand how service fits into the course.
2. Integrate service-learning into your syllabus by outlining expectations, grading, and due dates including visits and projects. Introduce it enthusiastically by emphasizing benefits for students and how it meets community needs.
3. Reflection through discussions, writing, or other activities allows students to make connections and give feedback, which is important for their growth. Celebrate their success at the end to bring the experience full circle.
Engaging Graduate Online Learners through Service-LearningIowa Campus Compact
Online graduate students were given the
option of choosing to write their fi nal
project or participate in a service-learning project. Students that chose the service-learning option utilized Eyejot, Google-Hangout, and Web-Ex to complete their reflective journals, talk as a group about their service experiences, and discuss their final reflective essays. Students that chose the service-learning option were more engaged than those who chose the hypothetical written final project.

Reducing Health Disparities through Community Engagement ScenariosIowa Campus Compact
This document presents seven scenarios related to community engagement efforts involving students and organizations. The scenarios touch on issues such as a student missing a class to participate in a community presentation, students creating educational materials that do not reflect the diversity of their audience, students avoiding practicing interactions with clients at a clinic site, questioning the value of a site that does not directly involve nursing, a student complaining about working with a specific ethnic group, one student feeling they are taking on most of the work in a group project, and faculty noting students get discouraged when they do not see the results of their contributions.
This session presents faculty, community partner, and nursing student perspectives about community engagement experiences designed to prepare nurses to contribute to reducing health disparities and develop a commitment to improving the health of diverse populations. Challenges, relationship development, and benefi ts for students and communities affected by health disparities will be discussed.

Problematic Concepts of Institutionalized Service LearningIowa Campus Compact
Higher education community engagement, and especially service-learning, seem to be built around the concepts of “learning,” “service,” “community,” and “change.” But these are actually highly problematic ideas. This session will unpack their meanings and show how they can confuse and limit our work.

Uncovering and Mobilizing Partners and Resources You Didn’t Know You Had HandoutIowa Campus Compact
This document provides guidance on conducting an asset mapping exercise to identify an individual's gifts and assets. It defines three categories of assets: gifts of the head (knowledge), gifts of the hands (skills), and gifts of the heart (passions). It includes questions to help individuals identify assets they may take for granted or no longer use, as well as assets from various contexts including professional, family, community groups, institutions, economic areas, and physical assets. The goal is to identify as many unique talents, skills, knowledge and connections as possible that could be utilized to help communities.
Uncovering and Mobilizing Partners and Resources You Didn’t Know You HadIowa Campus Compact

A final note on the key role of faculty and academic affairs:
“… [w]e have to stop using the R word. Instead we should speak of student education and frame our efforts as part of
the broader educational mission of the institution for that is the precisely the work of the faculty. Their job is not
retaining students, it’s educating students. If they attend to the latter, the former will follow of its own accord.”
Vincent Tinto, in Student Retention: What Next?
