EdTech Meeting Tuesday, December 1, 2005
Attendance: John
Devlin, Jo Ellis-Monaghan, Sue Breeyear, Dennis Voigt, Greta
Pangborn, Steve Burks
- Discussion of eCollege Creative Commons
announcement for faculty assembly.
- We should point out that this is an
archive – only completed courses will be entered, not those that
are in progress.
- One point of clarification from Cynthia:
Doc Sharing items submitted by the faculty member will be moved
to the creative commons, while doc sharing items submitted by
students will not appear.
- If a course contains copyrighted materials
you could go through an extra step, have Cynthia create a dummy
course that is a complete copy, remove the copyrighted materials
and then submit this new course to the creative commons. (This
allows you to keep your original archived course intact).
- Sue Breeyear and Greta Pangborn will prepare
a proposal for the Teaching With Technology Workshop. (Greta will
mail out a draft when it is complete.) There is some small chance
McGrath money may be available, since we were just asked for a
report on $6000 allocated for proposals this summer that was
unspent.
- Greta will ask Brian MacDonald about getting
the new header styles to make the page fit the college scheme a
bit better. Sue will pass along the link for educause teaching
resources.
- Jo reported on the password discussion from
tech steering. The controls audit has indicated we need to force
users to update their password every 6 months. There are some
concerns that this will lead to people writing down their
passwords, so some password education might be necessary.
- The next meeting will be in January. Bill
has indicated that a Gateway rep will be on campus Jan 26 to
discuss the possibility of a campus laptop program. He could
possibly speak to EDTECH about the benefits and challenges of such
a program. SMC is currently exploring the idea so there’s no
commitment made or expected.
