Helen.Gaudette(a)qc.cuny.edu Office of Global Education Initiatives Queens College International Programs King Hall 209 As Part of 2015's International Education Week, we are Pleased to Announce the Invitation and Call for Presentations at the 10th Anniversary Conference for the SUNY COIL Center [COILing Across a Decade: Reflections and New Directions]<http://cts.vresp.com/c/?SUNYCOILCenter/dde4e01320/b4f4747f44/0b17efb4a3> When? April 25-26, 2016 Where? CUNY Graduate Center, 365 5th Ave., NYC We thank CUNY for their sponsorship and hosting next year’s 10th anniversary COIL Conference CFP Deadline? February 1, 2016 Questions? Please email COILConference(a)suny.edu<mailto:COILConference@suny.edu> For more info about the Conference and Call for Presentations (CFP) please visit: http://coil.suny.edu/conference<http://cts.vresp.com/c/?SUNYCOILCenter/dde4e01320/b4f4747f44/368699443b> The SUNY COIL Center's annual conference is the leading international event in the field and brings together 350+ professors, international programs staff, instructional technologists, and university and college administrators from SUNY, across the U.S. and around the world to share innovative models and best practices. The year's conference agenda will include sessions from both invited speakers as well as those resulting from our international Call for Presentations<http://cts.vresp.com/c/?SUNYCOILCenter/dde4e01320/b4f4747f44/dab8515443>. We greatly appreciate sponsorship from the City University of New York (CUNY) in providing facilities at their Graduate Center for SUNY's 10th anniversary COIL Conference thus allowing us to expand the number of attendees at this usually sold out event. For a decade the SUNY COIL Center has been reimagining education as a globally networked phenomenon. Collaborative Online International Learning* links faculty across borders to co-create learning environments in which students gain valuable digital and cross-cultural competencies through collaboration with international peers. We have in parallel expanded the landscape of higher education institutions at SUNY, across the US and the world who are internationalizing their curricula by implementing the COIL model to benefit their students, as well as their faculty and staff. Our own networks have grown from a handful of loosely participating campuses in 2006 to over 50 committed member institutions working to normalize this model. At this, our tenth anniversary conference, we gather together to reflect on the evolution of the field, to celebrate accomplishments, to welcome new practitioners to our networks, and to investigate what new directions the next ten years may bring. *COIL is used to refer to pedagogical activities using technology to link classrooms and students in geographically distant locations through coursework. Other terms describing such activities are virtual exchange, virtual mobility, globally networked learning, telecollaboration, and online intercultural exchange.

by Jean Kelly 21 Dec '15

21 Dec '15

The Center for Teaching & Learning invites you to participate in a workshop for GeoGebra. There are many software programs and internet websites or applets that are used as interactive tools for practicing Mathematics. Some technologies are easy to use but limited in capability, while others possess great capabilities and are difficult to use. GeoGebra, a tool for teaching and learning Math, is an open-source software with amazing capabilities, allowing users to work in several different areas of Mathematics such as Algebra and Geometry (hence the name GeoGebra), Probability, Statistics, and many others. Furthermore, GeoGebra is much more than a software package….it is an entire community built on collaboration! GeoGebra offers its software to non-commercial users for free, and provides users the opportunity to share their work online as web-applets, making dynamic files accessible for use and modification to all. Note: All participants are encouraged to bring a personal laptop computer to the workshop. It is advisable for participants to install GeoGebra software onto their laptops prior to arriving at the workshop. The Center for Teaching and Learning can provide a minimal amount of laptop computers for participants who do not have access to one, and desktop computers will also be available. GeoGebra software can be accessed using the following link. Please make note of the operating system used by your individual machine, and make sure the version installed is 5.0: GeoGebra software install: https://wiki.geogebra.org/en/Reference%3AGeoGebra_Installation Presentation and Workshop: The uses of GeoGebra as an interactive technology for Mathematics teaching & learning Workshop Presenter: Joe Pastore, CUNY Queens College Mathematics Lecturer, Director of the GeoGebra Institute of Queens, New York Date: Tuesday, January 26, 2016 Time: 10 am – 3pm Location: To be announced (Note: Capacity currently limited to 15 participants) Lunch will be provided by the Center for Teaching & Learning RSVP: http://bit.ly/geogebra-workshop-jan2016 More information: https://ctl.qc.cuny.edu/geogebra-workshop-january-2016/

Complicated Conversations Series: Engaging with Race, Class, and Education
by Jean Kelly 10 Dec '15

10 Dec '15

On behalf of Dr. Limarys Caraballo: ***Complicated Conversations Series: Engaging with Race, Class, and Education*** Rajendra Chetty Visiting Fulbright Scholar Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Cape Town Tuesday, December 15, 2015 4:35–6:35 pm Powdermaker 130 Refreshments at 4:25 pm ***************** What does intersectionality of race and class mean? How does institutional discourse reinforce racial and class discrimination? ***************** Poverty and education are jointly linked and implicated in maintaining disadvantage and underachievement. Policy makers, in their attempt to resolve the situation, inadvertently reinforce the class and race divide if they do not interrogate the larger social structures of capitalist democracies. Rajendra Chetty is a postcolonial scholar engaged with research into race, class, poverty, and social issues in education. His wide areas of research include post-colonial writings, literacy and language, and social issues in education (see http://www.rajendrachetty.com/) He earned his Doctorate in Education at the University of South Africa (1998) in Curriculum Studies and English Education. The Complicated Conversations Series addresses the rich and complex benefits and challenges afforded by a diverse student body, faculty, and staff via workshops and seminars on a wide range of topics, such as the intersection of students’ raced, classed, gendered, and abled experiences in schools, at Queens College, and in society at large —Dr. Limarys Caraballo, Series Organizer, Department of Secondary Education and Youth Services Hosted by the Department of Secondary Education and Youth Services Sponsored by the Office of the Provost and the Office of the Dean of Education. ***************** Download the flyer: http://bit.ly/complicated-conversations-qc-dec15 *****************

The MLA is making available the XML files and schema for two volumes, The Winter's Tale and The Comedy of Errors, under a Creative Commons BY-NC 4.0 license. Entries may be in code, but contestants are encouraged to create wireframes that visualize the various uses of the XML files and serve as schemata for programmers. Each entry should provide a visual and written rationale that demonstrates rigorous scholarly and theoretical reflection. The goal is to see the possibilities of the NVS in digital form and, in particular, the innovations in scholarly research, teaching, or acting and directing that opening up the NVS's code might enable. Projects will thus be judged on the quality of the interface they provide for the NVS and on the insights produced by the mash-up. The committee is especially interested in entries that combine the NVS data with another Shakespearean project, such as Folger Digital Texts, Internet Shakespeare Editions, or Open Source Shakespeare. The deadline for entries is 1 August 2016. The committee will assess the submissions and select the winner no later than 15 September 2016. The prize of $500 and an award certificate will be given at the 2017 MLA convention in Philadelphia. ----------------------- Eva M.
