Teaching/Learning in the Cloud: deadline extended to Feb 5
by Eva.Fernandez＠qc.cuny.edu 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

Dear colleagues: FIT is organizing a conference on using the cloud as an environment for teaching & learning. Please see below for more information, or point your browser to: http://www.fitnyc.edu/11511.asp The deadline for submitting proposals to present at the conference (to be held March 16) is February 5. Best wishes, Eva. Eva M. Fernández Associate Professor, Linguistics & Communication Disorders | http://people.qc.cuny.edu/faculty/efernandez Director, Center for Teaching & Learning | http://www.qc.cuny.edu/ctl Queens College, City University of New York ------------------------------------------------------ Conference Description: EduTech Day SUNY-Wide Conference “Teaching Learning and Sharing in the Cloud” FACT2 Faculty Advisory Council on Teaching & Technology Friday, March 16th, 2012 Fashion Institute of Technology New York, NY John E. Reeve’s Conference Center and in the Katie Murphy Amphitheater The Cloud is an expanding, evolving environment where centrally located software systems facilitate interactive opportunities for a virtually limitless number of users--- working from any location. Cloud technology is often credited with dramatic savings in educational licensing, distribution and local network support, but the Cloud does much more than streamline and economize. It is expanding the potential for synchronous and asynchronous teaching, learning and collaboration and helping pave the way to learning environments that are innovative, as well as sustainable. Smart phones and tablet technology have contributed to the growth of the Cloud, at a fraction of the cost of traditional laptops or desktop computers. Innovation has putinto our collective hands tools that are not only affordable, but are actually, in some respects, more powerful than traditional computing----in part the result of extraordinary access and portability. The Cloud serves every major service category in the world, seamlessly integrating data computation, storage, retrieval, creative and business applications in a virtualized environment. We know this is a new frontier worth contextualizing in a conference setting when we see how the business, design and publishing markets have already gotten on board. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This communication (including any attachments) is intended solely for the recipient(s) named above and may contain information that is confidential, privileged or legally protected.

Another Bb9 Upgrade Request
by kenneth.lord＠qc.cuny.edu 05 Jan '12

05 Jan '12

Colleagues, Thanks to the many of you who submitted sample courses for Bb testing. To those who did, and those who didn't, I have an additional request. We have created what is supposed to be an exact copy of our Bb8 environment which will eventually be upgraded in place to Bb 9. It is important before the upgrade that we determine that the copy is correct. I invite you to take a look at the copies of you current courses and "exercise" some of the advanced features you may have, such as blogs, discussion boards, iTunesU links, etc. to see that they are still working. Even just checking your syllabus to be sure there are no broken links would be helpful. Please report anomalies to me (detailed error message are best reported with screen shots.) The URL for the cloned environment is: https://bbupgrade.cuny.edu/webapps/login/noportal Thank you very much. Ken ======================================= Dr. Kenneth Lord Assistant to the Provost for Educational Technology ( www.qc.cuny.edu/edtech) Chair, Undergraduate Curriculum Committee Lecturer, Computer Science Queens College, CUNY
