The document analyzes how different search tools affect undergraduate research. It finds that Summon and EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) had higher percentages of sources found on the first page of results compared to Google Scholar, library catalogs/databases, or no specified tool. Summon users had the lowest mean scores and viewed the fewest pages, searches, and time spent compared to other tools. The majority of searches across all tools were simple keyword searches. Academic journal articles were the most common resource type found except when using the library catalog/databases.
The University of Arkansas emitted over 171,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2011. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the university analyzed 10 potential reduction projects. Three projects - computer power management, building energy use policy, and a building energy dashboard - had quick payback periods of less than 2 years and could reduce emissions by over 4,700 metric tons per year at a low cost. The university has already undertaken two large energy saving performance contracts that cost $52 million upfront but will save 29,000 metric tons of emissions and $390,000 in electricity costs annually over the long-term.

This document discusses water productivity, which is defined as the benefit gained per volume of water used. It outlines the rationale for increasing water productivity at various scales from global to individual water users. The document then describes the methodology for estimating water productivity simply as the ratio of gain to water use. It notes some progress made in measuring water productivity for different crops and livestock. However, it also discusses challenges in estimation due to uncertainties in measuring benefits and water consumption. Interpreting water productivity values is also difficult as it is a partial measure that does not account for all gains from agricultural systems.

A “Pixar” Model for the Creation of Educational Materials in a Digital World–...NITLE
This document discusses a "Pixar Model" for creating innovative digital education materials. The key aspects of the Pixar Model are:
1) Willingness to break existing product and business model molds using cutting-edge digital capabilities.
2) Refusal to be bound by industry standards and integrating content and technology.
3) Ability to define new product categories or redefine existing ones.
The document argues that applying this model could transform higher education by developing highly engaging digital materials that enhance learning. However, this would require significant changes to how educational content is created and organized.
Building a Digital Museum: Opportunities for Scholarship and LearningNITLE
Most students and researchers of the theatre arts would seize the chance to stroll through a virtual museum featuring work by one of the world’s most prolific producers of scenic, costume, and lighting designs. That was the vision presented to Furman University when they were given the extraordinary opportunity to digitize the life’s work of renowned New York theatre designer, producer, painter, sculptor, and photographer Peter Wexler. The opportunity also presented a challenge. For a small staff at a liberal arts college, developing a strategy to digitally archive more than 6,000 artifacts within a tight timeframe could be daunting. Before converting the first item into digital format, consideration had to be given to how the collection might be used for teaching and scholarship. Furman’s Digital Collections Center is tackling this challenge as they document the creative process from preliminary sketches to final productions. In their presentation for NITLE Shared Academics, Furman University’s James B. Duke Library colleagues Rick Jones, manager of the Digital Collections Center, and Christy Allen, assistant director for Discovery Services, detailed the strategy and process of digitizing Peter Wexler’s work and how they prepared for the ways in which it will support teaching and scholarship.

Capacity Mapping: Re-imagining Undergraduate Business EducationNITLE
The public’s scrutiny of higher education may be at an all-time high. Whether it be parents questioning the value of a college degree, researchers scrutinizing learning outcomes, government officials tracking student debt, or employers evaluating job-readiness, educators face unprecedented pressure to prepare students for life outside of college. For business educators at liberal arts colleges, this external scrutiny is often matched by internal scrutiny from colleagues who question whether pre-professional programs even belong. Other concerns extend beyond the present and focus on preparing students not just for their first job, but on developing capacities for their whole life—personal, professional and civic. How might business faculty respond to this increased demand and multitude of pressures?
In the midst of this new reality, Mary Grace Neville, began a seven-year programmatic study. She led a multi-stakeholder inquiry and organized a national dialogue centered on the question: “What ought we be teaching at the undergraduate business level in order to be cultivating high integrity leaders for tomorrow’s rapidly changing, highly complex, multicultural, and interdependent world?” In this seminar, she introduced the capacity-mapping framework that has emerged from this work (and continues to evolve) and invited participants to consider various ways to integrate capacity development across an undergraduate business curriculum. Review the personal capacity map and consider these questions:
How do you set priorities and achieve balance within the curriculum?
How can business programs orient themselves so that they can be responsive to the constancy of change?
How can colleagues within institutions and across institutions collaborate to strengthen student preparedness?
How might technology support capacity development?
Join NITLE, Dr. Neville, and colleagues across the nation to re-imagine undergraduate business education.

However, challenges to wider adoption include technological support needs and resistance from faculty concerned about control over curriculum and the impact on higher education.
NITLE Shared Academics: An Open Discussion of the 2014 Horizon ReportNITLE
At a time of rapid, systemic change, decision-makers must be skilled at recognizing patterns that point to the future of higher education. Many resources exist that follow, describe, and analyze trends. One such resource is the NMC Horizon Report. The 2014 Higher Education Edition is a collaborative effort between the New Media Consortium (NMC) and the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI). For more than a decade, the NMC Horizon Project has been researching emerging technologies with the potential to affect teaching, learning, research, creative inquiry, and information management. How might you use this research to make the best possible strategic decisions to ensure mission-driven integration of pedagogy and technology? These NMC Horizon Report slides were used during an discussion led by NITLE Senior Fellow Bryan Alexander in which participants reviewed the Horizon Report, identified local patterns that supported or contradicted the projections described, and evaluated their potential impact for individual programs or institutions.
NITLE Shared Academics: Examining IT and Library Service ConvergenceNITLE
Colleges and universities face a variety of pressures. Two pressure points are adjusting to the evolving landscape of higher education and using finite resources efficiently and effectively. Technology-enhanced “flipped” classrooms, the rise of digital scholarship, and a keener focus on assessment are examples of the former. Space, time, money, and staff expertise are examples of the latter. These pressures become even more pointed at smaller institutions. How have academic library and information technology organizations been contributing toward effective solutions? Some have embraced a path toward greater convergence of IT and library services. Has doing so enabled institutions to adjust sooner and more quickly to shifts in our higher education environment? Has it stimulated innovation? Has it helped eliminate duplicative effort?
NITLE Shared Academics seminar leader Terry Metz delves into these questions, explores why and how the work of technologists and librarians is growing more and more similar, and highlights some colleges that have aligned technology and library talent in more integrated ways. Examine the benefits and challenges of converging IT and library services and consider future implications.

On November 13, 2013, seminar leaders Maha Zewail Foote and Steven Neshyba presented Flipped for the Sciences, in which they shared why they became interested in “flipping” a classroom and introduced the “flipped” techniques they are using to engage students in the sciences. In this follow-up seminar, they offer some practical guidelines on what aspects of your course to flip, and how to flip them. They’ll share strategies for sequencing topics, identifying learning objectives, and motivating students in ways that maximize the benefit of the flipped format. They’ll talk about designing student-centered approaches, such as just-in-time development, that promote serendipitous learning. They’ll also talk about pedagogical experiments that didn’t work out as well as they had hoped. Whether you have already flipped a classroom, experimented with flipped techniques, or are uncertain about whether flipping is suitable for your courses, join the seminar leaders and other colleagues from the NITLE Network who are examining the value of this approach.

NITLE Shared Academics: Flipped for the SciencesNITLE
What is motivating the growing interest in the “flipped classroom”? Concerns about the accessibility and affordability of education and the rise of MOOCs drive part of it, but there is also a genuine curiosity about the pedagogical value of restructuring class to optimize learning for the 21st-century student. Faculty in the liberal arts and sciences have been “flipping” their classes long before it became a pedagogical trend. Nevertheless, emerging technologies are presenting new possibilities for how classroom content is delivered. These new tools coupled with students’ ever-evolving preferences for how they engage with content are prompting faculty to examine how they might most effectively allocate classroom content and assignments. For instance, video segments of content that might have previously been conveyed in a lecture are providing students a chance to review the content as many times as are necessary for comprehension. Does this then lead to more productive classroom discussion? If you are designing a flipped classroom in the sciences, how do you discern which assignments belong in class, which belong outside of class and which technologies add the most value to your students? Moreover, how do you rethink your own role? Join Maha Zewail Foote, professor of chemistry at Southwestern University, and Steven Neshyba, professor of chemistry at University of Puget Sound, as they share what they learned from flipping their chemistry classes.
NITLE Shared Academics: Lessons from a Flipped ClassroomNITLE
The term “flipped classroom” has become both familiar and increasingly more nebulous as its legitimacy is appropriated by companies like Coursera, Udacity, and EdX to construct a market for pre-recorded video lectures. Critics argue that the flipped classroom shifts attention away from engagement with primary evidence, constructing learning entirely around pre-recorded lectures and replacing reading with viewing. Advocates, including seminar leader Jen Ebbeler, point to the variable ways that a “flipped classroom” can be designed and argue that a flipped class can allow for more attention to reading, analysis, and higher-order problem solving. This seminar offered by NITLE looked at how we can incorporate the elements of the flipped classroom to enhance student learning as well as the quality of our instruction. It also examined some of the potential pitfalls and offered suggestions for avoiding them.
NITLE Shared Academics: Networks and the Liberal ArtsNITLE
Networks provide educators in the liberal arts tradition with an excellent opportunity to incorporate technology and technical ideas into the arts and humanities curriculum.

MOOC Mania and the Ambivalent Future of American Higher Education explores the debate around MOOCs and their implications. MOOCs have gained attention due to rising tuition, stagnant wages, and falling public funding creating demand for cheaper alternatives. However, MOOCs risk being a "solutionism" that overlooks political and social factors. While technology enables new approaches, previous innovations like radio failed to transform education. The future of higher education depends on addressing wealth inequality, lack of jobs and investment, and ensuring a meritocratic system accessible to all.

Sean Johnson Andrews, assistant professor of cultural studies in the Department of Humanities, History, and Social Sciences at Columbia College Chicago, examined hese issues with members of the NITLE Network on February 4, 2014.
NITLE Shared Academics: An Open Discussion of Future TrendsNITLE

NITLE Shared Academics: Flipped for the SciencesNITLE
What is motivating the growing interest in the “flipped classroom”? Concerns about the accessibility and affordability of education and the rise of MOOCs drive part of it, but there is also a genuine curiosity about the pedagogical value of restructuring class to optimize learning for the 21st-century student. Faculty in the liberal arts and sciences have been “flipping” their classes long before it became a pedagogical trend. Nevertheless, emerging technologies are presenting new possibilities for how classroom content is delivered. These new tools coupled with students’ ever-evolving preferences for how they engage with content are prompting faculty to examine how they might most effectively allocate classroom content and assignments. For instance, video segments of content that might have previously been conveyed in a lecture are providing students a chance to review the content as many times as are necessary for comprehension. Does this then lead to more productive classroom discussion? If you are designing a flipped classroom in the sciences, how do you discern which assignments belong in class, which belong outside of class and which technologies add the most value to your students? Moreover, how do you rethink your own role? Join Maha Zewail Foote, professor of chemistry at Southwestern University, and Steven Neshyba, professor of chemistry at University of Puget Sound, as they share what they learned from flipping their chemistry classes.
NITLE Shared Academics: Lessons from a Flipped ClassroomNITLE
The term “flipped classroom” has become both familiar and increasingly more nebulous as its legitimacy is appropriated by companies like Coursera, Udacity, and EdX to construct a market for pre-recorded video lectures. Critics argue that the flipped classroom shifts attention away from engagement with primary evidence, constructing learning entirely around pre-recorded lectures and replacing reading with viewing. Advocates, including seminar leader Jen Ebbeler, point to the variable ways that a “flipped classroom” can be designed and argue that a flipped class can allow for more attention to reading, analysis, and higher-order problem solving. This seminar offered by NITLE looked at how we can incorporate the elements of the flipped classroom to enhance student learning as well as the quality of our instruction. It also examined some of the potential pitfalls and offered suggestions for avoiding them.
NITLE Shared Academics: Networks and the Liberal ArtsNITLE
Networks provide educators in the liberal arts tradition with an excellent opportunity to incorporate technology and technical ideas into the arts and humanities curriculum. How can we incorporate networks and network thinking to foster multidisciplinary learning at the undergraduate level? Tom Lombardi, assistant professor of computing and information studies at Washington & Jefferson College explores this question and demonstrates the exciting role networks can play in liberal education. Hosted by NITLE Shared Academics.

MOOC Mania and the Ambivalent Future of American Higher Education explores the debate around MOOCs and their implications. MOOCs have gained attention due to rising tuition, stagnant wages, and falling public funding creating demand for cheaper alternatives. However, MOOCs risk being a "solutionism" that overlooks political and social factors. While technology enables new approaches, previous innovations like radio failed to transform education. The future of higher education depends on addressing wealth inequality, lack of jobs and investment, and ensuring a meritocratic system accessible to all.
