Technology is changing the way students learn. Is it changing the way colleges teach?
Not enough, says George Siemens, associate director of research and development at the University of Manitoba’s Learning Technologies Centre.
While colleges and universities have been “fairly aggressive” in adapting their curricula to the changing world, Mr. Siemens told The Chronicle, “What we haven’t done very well in the last few decades is altering our pedagogy.”
To help get colleges thinking about how they might adapt their teaching styles to the new ways students absorb and process information, Mr. Siemens and Peter Tittenberger, director of the center, have created a Web-based guide, called the Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning.
Taking their own advice, they have outfitted the handbook with a wiki function that will allow readers to contribute their own additions.
In the its introduction, the handbook declares the old pedagogical model—where the students draw their information primarily from textbooks, newspapers, and their professors—dead. “Our learning and information acquisition is a mash-up,” the authors write. “We take pieces, add pieces, dialogue, reframe, rethink, connect, and ultimately, we end up with some type of pattern that symbolizes what’s happening ‘out there’ and what it means to us.” Students are forced to develop new ways of making sense of this flood of information fragments.
But Mr. Siemens said that colleges had been slow to appreciate this fact. “I don’t see a lot of research coming out on what universities might look like in the future,” he said. “If how we interact with information and with each other fundamentally changes, it would suggest that the institution also needs to change.”
Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning ---
http://ltc.umanitoba.ca/wikis/etl/index.php/Handbook_of_Emerging_Technologies_for_LearningThis Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning (HETL) has been designed as a resource for educators planning to incorporate technologies in their teaching and learning activities.
How is education to fulfill its societal role of clarifying confusion when tools of control over information creation and dissemination rest in the hands of learners[3], contributing to the growing complexity and confusion of information abundance?
Global, political, social, technological, and educational change pressures are disrupting the traditional role (and possibly design) of universities. Higher education faces a "re-balancing" in response to growing points of tension along the following fault lines...
Over the last century, educator’s understanding of the process and act of learning has advanced considerably.
Technology, Teaching, and Learning
Technology is concerned with "designing aids and tools to perfect the mind". As a means of extending the sometimes limited reach of humanity, technology has been prominent in communication and learning. Technology has also played a role in classrooms through the use of movies, recorded video lectures, and overhead projectors. Emerging technology use is growing in communication and in creating, sharing, and interacting around content.
A transition from epistemology (knowledge) to ontology (being) suggests media and technology need to be employed to serve in the development of learners capable of participating in complex environments.
Change cycles and future patterns
It is not uncommon for theorists and thinkers to declare some variation of the theme "change is the only constant". Surprisingly, in an era where change is prominent, change itself has not been developed as a field of study. Why do systems change? Why do entire societies move from one governing philosophy to another? How does change occur within universities?
New Learners? New Educators? New Skills?
New literacies (based on abundance of information and the significant changes brought about technology) are needed. Rather than conceiving literacy as a singular concept, a multi-literacy view is warranted.
Each tool possesses multiple affordances. Blogs, for example, can be used for personal reflection and interaction. Wikis are well suited for collaborative work and brainstorming. Social networks tools are effective for the formation of learning and social networks. Matching affordances of a particular tool with learning activities is an important design and teaching activity
Evaluating the effectiveness of technology use in teaching and learning brings to mind Albert Einstein’s statement: "Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted". When we begin to consider the impact and effectiveness of technology in the teaching and learning process, obvious questions arise: "How do we measure effectiveness? Is it time spent in a classroom? Is it a function of test scores? Is it about learning? Or understanding?"
Through a process of active experimentation, the academy’s role in society will emerge as a prominent sensemaking and knowledge expansion institution, reflecting of the needs of learners and society while maintaining its role as a transformative agent in pursuit of humanity’s highest ideals.

MIT's Video Lecture Search
Engine: Watch the video at ---
http://web.sls.csail.mit.edu/lectures/
Researchers at MIT have released a video and audio search tool that solves one
of the most challenging problems in the field: how to break up a lengthy
academic lecture into manageable chunks, pinpoint the location of keywords, and
direct the user to them. Announced last month, the MIT
Lecture Browser website gives the general public
detailed access to more than 200 lectures publicly available though the
university's
OpenCourseWare initiative. The search engine
leverages decades' worth of speech-recognition research at MIT and other
institutions to
convert
audio
into text and make it searchable.

April 14, 2003 message from Seamus Fitzroy [englishjobmaze@mail.com]
Dear Bob,
I would like to submit for your consideration an ESL/EFL job & info site for possible inclusion in the 'Program Search' (or other relevant) section of your informative area of the Trinity website.
The English Job Maze (http://www.englishjobmaze.com) is an
International ESL/EFL job & information site for ESL/EFL teachers and schools around the world. But it is also much more than 'just another' ESL/EFL job site. It contains a wealth of free TESL industy-related info for teachers, including one of the largest ELT bookstores on the Internet, plus 'Countries @ a Glance' - the most comprehensive TESL guide to pay, taxes, visas, travel, etc, in 50 of the world's most popular teaching destinations.
I hope you find this site useful. Hundreds of ESL/EFL teachers, schools and university/college graduates around the world have told us they do.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Warm regards
Seamus Fitzroy

From The Scout Report on January 18, 2002
A+ Country Reports http://www.countryreports.org/
A fantastic resource for students, teachers, tourists, and anyone else interested in the globe, A+ Country Reports offers a wealth of information on all of the countries of the world. Like the CIA's World Factbook (last mentioned in the September 28, 2001 _Scout Report_ ), A+ Country Reports presents up-to-date information on population, geography, economy, history, and politics. Aside from that, however, the site presents a lively array of extras that don't figure in the CIA's matter of fact dossiers, things such as audio clips of national anthems and links to current weather reports. As the site itself boasts, through a list of quotes from current reviews, A+ Country Reports is particularly appealing to teachers and younger students, and it's obvious why it's appealing, given its attention to the kinds of details kids demand -- bright graphics, large fonts, and Flash-automated features among them. For those interested in sharing what they have learned or already know, there is also a discussion area and links to sites for further study.
FindTutorials http://www.findtutorials.com/
FindTutorials offers hundreds of tutorials and professional online IT and Softskills training courses that are available for a variety of disciplines and skill levels. In addition, it offers an online e-mail system, an IT job database with thousands of daily updated positions, and a host of additional resources on internet training skills. With simple to use navigational tools and a "sophisticated in-house developed site search", finding information to meet your requirements merely takes the click of a button.

Booknotes (with audio and video) http://www.booknotes.org
Booknotes,
C-SPAN's signature author interview program, has served as a forum for books about history, politics and public affairs for a dozen years. C-SPAN's unedited, commercial-free format, allows for an in-depth discussion with an author distinct from other author interview programs.The format is simple: one author, one book, one hour. For a full hour every Sunday night, fifty-two weeks a year, an author discusses their recently-released work of non-fiction. Beyond the book's subject matter, authors are also queried about the writing process, about how and why they came to write their book and their own lives and influences. Authors may appear on Booknotes only once in their writing career.
The host of the program since its inception is C-SPAN CEO Brian Lamb. With over 630 author interviews since 1989 consisting of heads of state, war correspondents, biographers, scholars, generals and peacemakers, Lamb's Booknotes provides a variety of perspectives for its viewers. Guests have included Colin Powell, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Neil Sheehan, Martin Gilbert, Jean Strouse, Betty Friedan, and Henry Louis Gates.
Mr. Lamb is also the author of three collections of Booknotes interviews, the latest of which is Booknotes: Stories from American History.
Writers and journalist have had this to say about the Booknotes program:
In a USA Today article, Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Halberstam called the program "wonderful," adding it "connects serious writers in a highly-civilized way to serious readers out there."C-SPAN, the political network of record, was created in 1979 by America's cable companies as a public service. C-SPAN is currently available in 82 million households, C-SPAN2 in 65 million households, and C-SPAN3 in nearly 4 million households nationwide. For more information about C-SPAN, visit our web site at c-span.org.The Los Angeles Times called the program "unique," stating "Long before Oprah discovered reading and the mass market for books, Brian Lamb was serving up a special kind of journalism that lets writers talk - and talk and talk - with little or no interruption."

An Award Winning Copyright Website

Includes MP3 Audio, MPEG Video, an online service for obtaining a copyright
for your Website materials, and advice for copyrights of software.
This portal provides real world, practical and relevant copyright information for anyone navigating the net. Launched on May Day '95, the Copyright Website strives to lubricate the machinations of information delivery. As spice is to Dune, information is to the Web; the spice must flow. Or, if you prefer another metaphor, take the blue pill and I'll show you just how deep the rabbit hole goes...
Drafting a Faculty Copyright Ownership Policy http://ts.mivu.org/default.asp?show=article&id=982
Many colleges and universities are either considering ways to revise their existing copyright policies or drafting new policies. A copyright policy encompasses both the use of copyrighted works owned by third parties and the ownership of works generated by faculty, staff and students within an institution. The purpose of an ownership policy should be to encourage research, scholarship and the dissemination of knowledge; thus, the ownership model the school adopts should further this purpose.
I got up earlier than Bob Jensen so you get this email from me instead of the other Bob.
The Web site below is very interesting on several levels.
The site allows one to see a photo album of 800 college campuses.
From time to time I have the opportunity of going to a campus that I have not visited before. This web site allows the chance to "see" the campus before going.
It also shows what some schools are doing to "show off" their institution.
The campus tours site also lists those schools that have web cams, campus maps, videos, and VR tours. Trinity was one of the first to have a VR tour.
Give it a quick look if you like to see what the other guys are doing and look like.

My distant cousin Bob Overn clued me into the Bing aerial view maps. These are great!!
Let me walk you through an example.
I have to take Erika to the New England Baptist Hospital next week for more tests on her broken back.
- Go to the Bing search engine at http://www.bing.com/
- Enter the address into the search box (without quotation marks)
125 Parker Hill Ave., Roxbury Crossing, MA 02120
- Click on "Map of 125 Parker Hill Ave., Roxbury Crossing, MA 02120"
- On the right side of the map near the top pass the mouse pointer over the menu choice Road
A drop down menu appears
Choose Birds Eye View
The map changes to an aerial view (not a real time current view, but a clear view nevertheless)
- Since I have a wheel on my mouse I can zoom in or out simply by turning the wheel
The New England Baptist Hospital is the large building to the upper left of the red balloonI tried this for the address in Baltimore where my friend Barry Rice lives.
I then got a good view of his townhouse.I found that it's not always possible to get a Bing map to come up for an address
For example, the Cannon Mountain Ski Resort mailing address is
9 Franconia Notch State Park, Franconia, NH 03580
Using the above address I do not get an option for a Bing map
But you can use the Franconia Hardware address
334 Main St., Franconia 03580
- Go to the Bing search engine at http://www.bing.com/
- Enter the address into the search box (without quotation marks)
334 Main St., Franconia 03580
- Click on "Map of 334 Main St., Franconia 03580"
- On the right side of the map near the top pass the mouse pointer over the menu choice Road
A drop down menu appears
Choose Birds Eye View
The map changes to an aerial view (not a real time current view, but a clear view nevertheless)
- On the map proceed southwest on I-93 until it changes to Franconia Notch Parkway
You are now in the mountain pass of Franconia Notch State Park
Cannon Mountain Ski Resort is beside Echo Lake
Cannon Mountain still has some snow and will not end the skiing until April 8 this year
When I tried this on our cottage I got a map but our cottage was hidden beneath the clouds on the day this aerial view photo was taken
190 Sunset Hill Road, Sugar Hill, NH 03586The Bing areal views are photographs that do not change from day to day such that you will still get a cloudy view of Sugar Hill even if we're having a clear day.
*****************
Now let's try a great Microsoft Silverlight Map Application
I think you have to have the free Silverlight installation for this one ---
http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/get-started/install/default.aspxThen go to
Microsoft Virtual Earth Amazing 3D Modeling Fly Over Aerial View Bing.com
http://www.microsoft.com/maps/isdk/silverlight/
I then move about with my mouse pointer and zoom with the wheel of my mouse.
Wow --- I can zoom in on the New England Baptist Hospital without having to enter an address (as long as I know where it's located in the Boston area)

Columbia Newsblaster http://www.cs.columbia.edu/nlp/newsblaster/
With a team of researchers headed by Prof. Kathy McKeown, Columbia Newsblaster is an online project at Columbia University's Department of Computer Science in the School of Engineering and Applied Science. Newsblaster currently looks at news reports from thirteen sources, including Yahoo, ABCNews, CNN, Reuters, Los Angeles Times, CBS News, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Virtual New York, Washington Post, Wired, and USA Today. The product uses artificial intelligence techniques to cull through news reports published online and then sorts and summarizes these reports in five different news categories -- US, world, finance, entertainment, and sports. These summaries are based on reflecting factors, such as where a fact is mentioned in the published reports and how often it is repeated across reports dealing with the same event or subject. They are also based on the news value of individual facts, such as how many were killed or injured, or how much damage to property occurred. On the whole, in an age of information overload, this newly developed tool may provide assistance to journalists, executives, and average news consumers.

ERIC CLEARINGHOUSES CLOSE
After over thirty years of service, the U.S. Department of Education's ERIC Clearinghouses, and the AskERIC service, permanently closed at the end of December 2003. ERIC is a national information system funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences to provide access to education literature and resources. The Clearinghouses, stationed at various educational institutions, provided documents and reference services on educational topics ranging from Elementary and Early Childhood Education to Urban and Minority Education to Adult, Career, and Vocational Education.
The new ERIC uses one URL (http://www.eric.ed.gov) to:
-- search the ERIC database,
-- access the ERIC Calendar of Education-Related Conferences,
-- link to the ERIC Document Reproduction Service (EDRS) to
purchase ERIC full-text documents, and
-- link to the ERIC Processing and Reference Facility to
purchase ERIC tapes and tools.

Not only can you read about the best books in all the subjects we've covered over the years, but you can also order them directly through our links to www.barnesandnoble.com .
Commentary from Yahoo
Lingua Franca, the rag of choice for academic types, presents this collection of seminal books that have "defined a particular area of thought." The creme de la creme, the top guns, the grande fromages -- these are the books that rule the schools. From Suburbia to Cognitive Science, the Welfare State to Neglected Fiction, these are the books that the brainiacs worship. And to shamelessly jump on the PBS bandwagon, you'll also find some great books on Jazz.

Hi Dr. Jensen,
We haven't met, but I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Kristin Oliver, and I am a counselor at Trinity's Counseling Services. I'm in the process of putting together a list of websites on a variety of psycho-social topics, and thought I'd pass one of the sites along to you! The site is a racism slideshow put out by the American Psychological Association. I used it as a required reading when I was teaching at the University of Hawaii last year, and my students loved it... I think it should be required reading for everyone! It's well-done and easy to navigate (the "next" button is in the upper right corner).

Both graduate and undergraduate degree programs are listed as well as training courses (some free).
I added to my listings of worldwide online training and education programs at http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/Crossborder.htm
What I like about Gina's site is that it does not avoid programs in major colleges and universities.
August 8, 2011 message from Gina
Hi Bob Jensen,
I maintain http://www.lawenforcementtraining.org . I have spent many
years as a law enforcement officer, and love my field of work. I decided to
make a website to help up and coming law enforcement students explore
schools that offer this degree degree. Do you mind taking a look and adding
it to your resource page of : http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/fraud.htm ?
http://www.lawenforcementtraining.org has become a fun passion
project of mine, and I think it serves as a great resource for anyone looking
to get a degree and start a career in law enforcement. I would greatly

June 29, 2007 message from StudentsReview [administrator@studentsreview.com]
I was browsing for resources for prospective students and I found your webpage. ("Bob Jensen's New Bookmarks for Quarter 2 in the Year 2001" http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/book01q2.htm )
I see that you link to Usnews and Xap, and I was hoping that you might consider linking to StudentsReview ( http://www.studentsreview.com/ ) as well.
StudentsReview has collected 50,000 in-depth college reviews, which it provides freely to prospective students. Students can perform personalized rankings, learn about majors, and read up on campus news/life from over 150 student newspapers. StudentsReview has been mentioned by the Washington Post and is listed as #1 in Google for "College Reviews".
Here is how a student describes us: "I am a senior in high school, and I think that your site is one of the BEST I have seen online. Since it isn't just the brochure perfect things you see from the school, I actually get a more realistic hold on what the colleges are like. [...] Keep up the amazing work~!"
Please let me know -- Anything that we can do to help out students is much needed! Beracah

Hi Scott,
For financial aid for your daughter, you will find a lot of links at http://dir.yahoo.com/Education/Financial_Aid/
I also find the Wired Scholar helpful at http://www.wiredscholar.com/financing/content/index.jsp
Tuition Plans for each of the 50 states --- http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/dollars/dstuit.htm
On April 16, the Digital Duo on PBS reviewed three websites for applying to college. Their recommendations are linked at http://www.digitalduo.com/214_dig.html
The US News helper website for college applicants at http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/cohome.htm Among other things, this website ranks both undergraduate and selected graduate programs. The US News site also has a service that will conduct a personalized search for each prospective student who is willing to provide SAT scores and high school ranking.
The clearinghouse for online applications is at Embark.com at https://apply.embark.com/ . This website is free, and works with many universities to apply directly online. Embark's service is free, but some schools charge $10 for electronic filing.
To find individual colleges, the Duo recommended Yahoo at http://dir.yahoo.com/Education/Higher_Education/
(Bob Jensen also recommends http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/bookbob2.htm
(go to College and Other School Finders.) For online degree programs and
courses, I maintain a helper guide at http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/245progs.htm
But the most complete financial aid information is at http://dir.yahoo.com/education/financial_aid/

I have a daughter looking at colleges and thinking about her future, and I am thinking about colleges as well. Here are two sites I've found that have been useful to me, and may be useful to others as well.
The Internet Guide to Section 529 Plans http://www.savingforcollege.com/
On that site, there are many links to articles as well as other sites dealing with the subject of paying for college. http://www.savingforcollege.com/links.htm
The National Association of State Treasurers sponsors a site called "College Savings Plan Network" http://www.collegesavings.org/
And there are links there as well. http://www.collegesavings.org/links.htm

Students paying for college can get financial help from a new website, if they agree to pay investors a fixed percentage of their future income --- http://www.wirednews.com/news/school/0,1383,43977,00.html
MyRichUncle claims to offer students an alternative method of paying for college. The site boasts a network of investors who will help finance a student's undergraduate or graduate education, and upon graduation, the student must pay the company a percentage of their income for up to 15 years.
The MRU Education Investment supplements other grants, scholarships or subsidized loans that students receive to pay for school.
Rate payments are determined by the type of program the student is in, the school they attend, the year of enrollment, work experience and other factors.

College of Europe: EU Diplomacy Papers ---Multinational companies with offices in Central Europe and Asia are quietly trying to plug the brain drain that's siphoning technical talent to the United States by offering to pay for the education of their best and brightest applicants
The catch: Students have to attend local schools and then work in their home countries for a specified period of time after graduation.
The United States is still the most popular destination for foreign students, drawing about 578,000 in the 1998-99 academic year, according to the Department of States International Information Programs.
But the number of foreign students attending college in the United States has been dwindling, according to SIIP. Five years ago, about 40 percent of all international students studied in the United States. Today, it's 32 percent.
The decline is attributed to aggressive recruiting problems in students' own countries and in others, especially in the computer science fields. The high cost of tuition at American colleges and universities is also to blame.
U.S. schools are battling back.
President Clinton recently suggested that "educational institutions, state and local governments, non-governmental organizations, and the business community" should "review the effect of U.S. government actions on the international flow of students and scholars as well as on citizen and professional exchanges, and take steps to address unnecessary obstacles, including those involving visa and tax regulations, procedures, and policies."
In response, the Immigration and Naturalization Service has eased work rules for foreign students. And some colleges are considering adjusting the amount of funds made available for grants to foreign students in order to fill in the gaps caused by weak exchange rates.

A Title VI-funded project, the Portal to Asian Internet Resources (PAIR) offers scholars, students and the interested public more than six thousand professionally selected, cataloged and annotated online resources.
Committed to directing users to Asian area content in the humanities and social sciences, the PAIR Project is supported by an impressive complement of area studies scholars, bibliographers and subject selectors based at the libraries of the University of Wisconsin, the University of Minnesota and the Ohio State University.
With a primary mission of providing direct access to online Asian information in native languages and scripts, the PAIR Project team also hopes to broaden access by offering users a suite of instructional resources on the use of Asian character sets and search engines.
