Advances in computer technology continue to change the
lives of instructors and students. One of the exciting new ways
to use computers in education is in testing. According to Brown
(1997), computer-based tests (CBTs) have been used in second
language testing since the early 80's. This rapid change in mode
of administration of tests is very understandable. As Jamieson
(2005) states, computers have a number of very desirable
functions that considerably eases up the test creation and
assessment task, including item creation and presentation,
answer collection and scoring, statistical analysis, and storage,
transmission, and retrieval of information. Also the literature on
computer-assisted language learning indicates that language
learners have generally positive attitudes towards using
computers in the classroom (Reid, 1986; Neu and Scarcella,
1991; Phinney, 1991).
Computer-based assessment has been used in many
disciplines to give both formative feedback and to offer
summative testing. This is especially so in the sciences. There is
evidence to suggest that formative computer-based assessment
can produce improvement in student learning outcomes
(Clariana, 1993) and that this can lead to a positive attitudes of
students to learning.

The Liberal Arts Online
Distance education and hybrid courses continue to attract more and more students, and many educators fear that a focus on the practical and professional in these offerings excludes the liberal arts.
On Thursday, March 17 at 2 p.m. Eastern, Inside Higher Ed presents The Liberal Arts Online, an audio conference featuring Rebecca Davis of the National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education. She will discuss the best existing models for offering such courses online, the latest technology, how to gain faculty support, and much more.

Program for A discussion on the occasion of the release of the
Innovations journal special issue on energy & climate: November 24, 2009 at The National Academy of Sciences 21st and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC
Video at http://wp.me/pyHrt-cT
EVENT DESCRIPTION:
The goal of this meeting is to contribute to reframing the conversation on energy and climate by illuminating opportunities inherent in the transition away from carbon intensity. The meeting will focus on how technologies already in use can be combined with common-sense policies and 21st century modes of organization to create jobs, advance innovation, and enhance international cooperation. The meeting will take place at the National Academy of Sciences and will engage leaders from business, government, and academia in a discussion of the societal possibilities inherent in the creation of climate solutions.
The event is timed to take place two weeks before the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, and coincides with the release of the Innovations journal special issue on energy & climate titled “Energy for Change.” Led by the Science Adviser to the President of the United States, John Holdren, and informed by a year-long project on energy & climate at the National Academy of Sciences, the meeting will be organized into a set of forward-looking conversations respectively emphasizing opportunities for business, for the United States, and for the global community of nations.
Community Building 2.0: Using Piazza to Encourage Student Rapport Outside the...Rebekah Bennetch
Community can provide a powerful context for learning, whether it’s found in a physical or virtual environment (Bickford and Wright 2006). When it comes to building an online community in our classrooms, is Blackboard our only option? Piazza offers a better, more engaging choice. Piazza is a Web 2.0 social learning platform that helps students interact with their instructor and peers in a casual online format. Piazza’s creator, Pooja Sankar, started the service in 2011 out of the need for a “virtual place, a virtual piazza where people could come together and get unstuck.”The website functions as a type of online study hall, where students (and instructors) can post questions and share resources.
I’ve been using Piazza in my courses for the last year, and have found it to be a useful tool in strengthening the relationships not only between students and myself, but also in cultivating rapport in student-to-student interactions. My presentation discusses the Piazza platform, highlighting a few of the experiences I’ve had with it over the last 12 months.
This presentation introduces a study investigating the effectiveness of information communication technologies (ICTs) on teachers’ global awareness. This project connects two groups of teachers (New York and Taipei) through ICTs.
