Dr. Karen Swenson, a 2010 Teaching With Sakai Innovation Award finalist, uses the Sakai wiki with her students to "think about important issues presented through works of speculative fiction," but has found there is even more to her students than the wiki reveals. Although the course goals include collaborative work to "reconsider traditional concepts of 'author' and 'self,' working together to build a better world, encourage a sense of community, and become aware of others contributions" her recent collected data provides insight as to "who" are these students in her Sakai Wiki community. Come to this session to see the paradigms that underlie the structure of the course, what the students do with the Wiki in class and after the semester ends, and who these students are (including demographics, previous wiki contributions, and perceptions of self, information technology, and active involvement in their learning process).

Wikipedia: A Tool for Teaching (Skeptical) Research Elizabeth Nesius
Wikipedia is one form of social media, and often at the bull’s eye of “new media myopia” (Obar, 2012). When asked to do research, Wikipedia is usually the first place students look. While we might want to teach students that Wikipedia is one place to start, it usually is not the one place where we want them to end. Therefore, incorporating Wikipedia into classroom instruction is a powerful way to teach students how to analyze the sources they use. This presentation will introduce educators to possible ways Wikipedia can be utilized in the classroom as a teaching and learning tool.

Practical vs. Educational Experience: What Experienced Professionals Should C...Amber D. Marcu, Ph.D.
To sustain oneself as a competitive employee in a tough economy, many people consider going back to school. For some this means getting their masters or doctorate and for others it means individual coursework to sharpen skills in an ever evolving communications industry.
Join us Thursday, Nov. 21 at 1:00pm EST as Dr. Amber Marcu and her colleague, Courtney Grose, discuss the special considerations of experienced professionals returning to school.
This webinar will cover:
• How to approach education, internships and core education-related experiences as an adult learner
• How to navigate the challenges of getting an education AFTER starting a career
• How to leverage your work experience in the classroom
Relationship of Self-Efficacy to Stages of Concerns in the Adoption of Innova...Amber D. Marcu, Ph.D.
In this research, it was proposed that self-efficacy is the missing underlying psychological factor in innovation diffusion models of higher education. This is based upon research conducted in the fields of innovation-diffusion in higher education, technology adoption, self-efficacy, health and behavioral change. It was theorized that if self-efficacy is related to adoption, it could provide a quick-scoring method for adoption efficiency and effectiveness that would be easy to administer. The innovation-diffusion model used in this study was Hall and Hord\'s (1987) Concerns Based Adoption Model (CBAM) and it\'s Seven Stages of Concern (SoC) About an Innovation. The SoC measures a user\'s perception of"and concerns about"an innovation over time. The self-efficacies under study were general, teaching, and technology. The scales used in this research instrument were Chen\'s New General Self-Efficacy (NGSE), Prieto\'s College Teaching Self-Efficacy Scale (CTSES), and Lichty\'s Teaching with Technology Self-efficacy scale (MUTEBI), respectively. This research hoped to uncover a relationship between self-efficacies and a Stage of Concern in the adoption of an instructional technology innovation, Google Apps for Education, at a large university institution. Over 150 quantitative responses were collected from a pool of 1,713 instructional faculty between late Fall 2012 and early Spring 2013 semesters. The response group was not representative of the larger population. Forty-six percent represented non-tenure track faculty compared to the expected 19 percent. Analysis using nominal logistic regression between self-efficacy and Stages of Concern revealed that no statistically significant relationship was found. Of note is that nearly all participants could be classified as being in the early-stages of an innovation adoption, possibly skewing the overall results. Complete dissertation can be obtained from http://hdl.handle.net/10919/19340
Amber D. Evans-Marcu (Virginia Tech, rSmart) presents information obtained in her dissertation research regarding how awareness and adoption are often hindered by assumptions, misconceptions and a general lack of knowledge regarding any innovation. During her research, she unearthed a trove of adoption models specifically for use in higher education. In this session, she will explain how her experience and knowledge to apply a particular diffusion of innovation model, the Concerns Based Adoption Model (CBAM), came to fruition during the VT Transition from Blackboard to Sakai. She will also explain how other models can prove effective against significant resistance that can often arise across campuses from non-technical stakeholders, especially those unfamiliar with the open source ecosystem.
In this session, Evans-Marcu will explain:
* The importance of models
* Selecting a model
* Applying the CBAM model
* Pitfalls to avoid
Conducting a Smooth Sakai Transition: Planning, Acting & Maintaining the Mome...Amber D. Marcu, Ph.D.
In this co-joint presentation session, Marist College and Virginia Tech highlight their experiences of successes and lessons learned during their transition to Sakai, including:
* Why the change was needed,
* How change is good,
* Which Actions support the transition,
* How Training sustains the transition,
* How to Maintain transition momentum, and
* Lessons learned.
Virginia Tech and Marist College have both successfully transitioned to Sakai. Reba-Anna Lee (Marist College) will talk about their three-step process to success: Planning, Acting, and Maintaining progress. As Marist College found, a successful transition includes planning communication, meeting the needs for data transfer, providing training and support, and when completed, maintaining user interest in Sakai. Amber D. Evans (Virginia Tech), will talk in detail about how part of VT's successful transition was through effectively addressing Faculty, Staff, and Student concerns using aspects of the Concerns-Based Approach Model to assess the audience and resources; at VT this information was used to map optimal lines of communication and to define support structures to successfully implement Sakai. (This is a reprisal and follow-up to Virginia Tech's 2009 Boston Conference session: "Concerning Their Concerns: Using CBAM to Map Support for a Transition.") Overall, this session highlights what both colleges anticipated, what they did not, and ultimately what both Marist and VT successfully did regarding planning (communication), action (training and support), and maintenance (momentum and interest). Recommendations, suggestions, and some "best practices" regarding the above will be provided.
This is for Dr. Karen Swenson's presentation for the TWSIA Honorable Mention Presentation (held on Wednesday, June 16 @ 10:00-11:15am). If there are any problems with the presentation, please contact me (Amber D. Evans, adevans@vt.edu). If there are any questions about the presentation content, please contact Karen Swenson (karens@vt.edu). Enjoy the show!
Blogs, Wikis, and ePortfolios: Benefits, Challenges, and Practical Applicatio...Amber D. Marcu, Ph.D.
This session offers an overview of three e-learning tools: blogs, wikis, and ePortfolios. Each presenter will discuss one tool, providing pedagogical theory, along with practical benefits and challenges to using the technology. Finally, the panelists will present examples of how these technologies can be put into practices in the classroom.
Working with a CMS (or CLE): Lessons We Can All Learn, Regardless of PlatformAmber D. Marcu, Ph.D.
This panel discusses lessons we can all learn from engaging with a CMS or CLE, regardless of its specific platform. That panelists will discuss CMS training and tips for faculty to get the most out of your CMS or CLE. One of the many practical applications discussed will be the use of ePortfolio tools embedded within Virginia Tech's collaborative learning environment.
VCCS NH'10: Refining Course Management Systems: Listening to Those Who Do It ...Amber D. Marcu, Ph.D.
How do users use content and collaborative systems? Does using a CMS imply certain pedagogies? Presenters will examine the natural teaching and instructional workflow of users as they interact with a collaborative course management system and how it compliments or conflicts with using a CMS. Three perspectives will be examined: instructional designers, instructors, and graduate/teaching assistants.
Concerning Their Concerns: Using CBAM to Map Support for a TransitionAmber D. Marcu, Ph.D.
Virginia Tech is transitioning to Sakai. Effectively addressing Faculty, Staff, & Student concerns play a significant role in successfully adopting innovation. Our application of the Concerns-Based Approach Model includes assessing resources, then mapping optimal lines of communication and support structures to successfully implement Sakai.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

7. English 1654: Introduction to Science Fiction and Fantasy Students think about important issues presented through works of speculative fiction – definitions of good/evil, self and alien, science and nature, human and machine, human and monster, exploitation and collaboration. Students: Consider definitions of human experience and potential, Demonstrate knowledge through weekly quizzes. Students share ideas in a discussion forum & a speculative fiction wiki. 7
8. Learning Objectives and Course Goals (Platonic) Through collaborative work, we will reconsider traditional concepts of "author" and of "self," suggest collaborative means of living with others, learn to work together to create a better world, encourage a sense of community, encourage an awareness of others’ contributions, become more accustomed to considering ourselves within a context. 8
10. What are Wikis? It is a powerful yet flexible collaborative communication tool for developing content-specific Web sites. A wiki is a Web page that can be viewed and modified by anybody with a Web browser and access to the Internet. Popular Wikis include Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikihow, LMS Wikis Many “flavors” of wikis available: Which Wiki is Right for You? (A matrix) 10
11. How does it Work? View & Edit changes while retaining the previous copy. Wikis use computer scripting (programming) text files Web browser Internet connection Edit a page Sends a request to the server for the wiki page text. Save a page Sends the revised text to the server and saves “an old copy” as a previous revision. 11
12. Why are Wikis Significant? A content-focused approach makes it easy to collaborate and then export it to different formats. Access the current document anytime online. Add new pages or change existing pages. No HTML or coding is required. Compare previous versions. Identify who contributed content. Export the wiki page to Microsoft Word or PDF. 12
13. When to use Wikis Features: Easy online editing by users. Revision history. Notification of changes. Export options (MS Word, HTML, PDF, etc.) Uses: To capture and record process and procedures. Meeting minutes that anyone can add to. Brainstorming 13
14. How can Wikis be Used in Teaching and Learning? Wikis are reflexive & adaptive, growing with use. Easiest and most effective collaboration tool. Versioning shows Evolution of thought & contents Authorship & ownership Can be used to Create ePortfolios, Collaborate on (research) projects, Edit articles or textbooks, Recording process and procedures, Do anything you can imagine!
15. Some Challenges of Wikis Wikis open windows to collaboration, but sometimes flies get in. Wikis may require monitoring. May need to gain authorization to edit a wiki. Learning curve (new toolbars, new tools) Lack of some features (i.e., Word Count) Content-focused not cosmetic. Hierarchy doesn’t exist (like a concept map) Collective group bias. Remembering to use it! 15
16. “Student writing has meaning, power, and significance in this course. Students are shaping both their own words and the words of others in order to create a web of interconnected writings.” The SciFi Wiki Dr. Karen Swenson
17. “Wiki Aliveness” Design for evolution. Open a dialogue between inside and outside perspectives. Invite different levels of participation. Develop both public and private community spaces. Focus on value. Combine familiarity and excitement. Create a rhythm for the community. Etienne Wenger, Richard McDermott, and William M. Snyder http://hbswk.hbs.edu/archive/2855.html
26. Wiki Development The success of this course wiki led to the creation of a community wiki – the Virginia Tech Speculative Fiction wiki, around which is growing a community of practice beyond the boundaries of the semester. “Play Well and Prosper”

38. Closing Comments from Students “Class was really great. Professor Swenson made Science Fiction fun and relevant for me and turned me into a reader.” “Great class, enjoyable and fun thanks for a great year!” “Professor Swenson is the best!” “Class structure was awesome. Great mix of tests, forums, wikis, and final project. Class was one of the most fun I've taken … Swenson is a great teacher though, and her assistant Yakima was VERY helpful. This course covered more material than any class I've ever taken, but ran more smoothly than most. Overall a positive experience.” 34
