Final Josh Kim Counterpoint Educause December 09Joshua Kim
Learning Management Technologies: Enterprise System or Consumer Good?
This session will compare and contrast approaches in the use of learning management technologies in higher education: an enterprise model where a learning management system is centrally provided versus a consumer model where faculty are encouraged to use a wide variety of available Web 2.0 tools (blogs, Facebook, Twitter). Two presenters with expertise on both sides of the issue will discuss the relative merits of each model. They will also illuminate a shared challenge: the "humanware" (people helping people) investments that support the use of these technologies by faculty on campus are critical to their success.

Event Description:
In this session, we'll explore the changing role of academic teaching and learning "support" staff. How has it evolved over the past decade, and where are our job descriptions going? How much of our work is reactive, and how much of is advocacy for changes in instructional paradigms? How are the roles between instructional designers and librarians demarcated, and where are they beginning to shift or merge? Is learning technology itself an emerging academic discipline? We'll begin with a brief presentation on these issues by Josh Kim and Barbara Knauff, Senior Learning Technologists at Dartmouth College (see their recent Educause Review column on these issues, "Business Cards for the Future", but the majority of the session will be given over to a participant discussion of these issues
