It’s near-impossible to think about course management systems (CMS) without thinking about innovation, collaboration, and the sharing of ideas across institutions and even from vendor to vendor. Yet, “the next step” in CMS now means distinctly different things to various colleges and universities as, going forward, they consider their landscapes of learning, and requisites that didn’t even exist five years ago.

ONCE UPON A TIME there was a student named Jason. Jason was studying physics remotely, although he was not sure why he was studying physics. (What he really wanted to do was build some gaming simulations.) But physics was a required course and the new term was just starting. So, after playing the video of his faculty introducing the course and the study of physics, Jason got down to arranging for access to the course materials.

Gary Landau is director of network services at Loyola Marymount University (CA), where he is responsible for leading the school’s network infrastructure and telecom teams to support voice and data communications. No one is more tuned in to wireless these days than Landau, because LMU is now in the process of completing a campuswide wireless network of nearly 400 access points (APs). Landau hopes that the university can leverage wireless connectivity to help students and faculty innovate, and he knows that careful planning of the wireless network can make all the difference. Here, he shares his Top 10 things to remember when taking your campus wireless.

If you’re not also enabling the ‘why’ or ‘what’ behind the tech tools you give your faculty, you’re not enabling effective use of those tools.

Attendance is up and the number of students dozing off in class is down in Joe Calhoun’s economics classes at Florida State University (FSU). And that’s despite an increase in class size recently, with new lecture halls that seat up to 500 students at a time.

For the past several years, K-State has used technology from Tegrity to record class sessions with video, audio, and multimedia. Presently, close to 200 classes across the university are captured using this technology.

It’s tough to master a new language without speaking it, of course. So it follows that language courses that incorporate speaking as much as possible can help students learn faster and better, and help professors better assess their progress.

This month Arizona State University (ASU) and Google made the first large-scale deployment of Google Apps for Education, to the ASU student community.

Even with its many sophisticated computer systems, the University of Mississippi, like most campuses, still deals with lots of paper.

Most of today’s splashiest new classroom technologies have at least one thing in common – they tend to require lots of storage space on the campus network.

As educational institutions establish an online presence, initial successes are often due to individual faculty members (“early adopters” of this new technology), working long hours to develop material more or less single-handedly. Frequently, they are leaving behind scattered projects, which are of intrinsic value, but of little use for the institution and far less for the larger academic community.

Today’s Auxiliary Services department has morphed into a solution source for mobile transactions, mountains of junk mail, and a whole lot more.

Serving quality educational experiences to remote students is a challenge for many colleges in the U.S. Advances in multimedia equipment, video conferencing solutions, and high-speed delivery are making that task easier, but still not without challenges.

Across the country, a growing number of schools are turning to ePortfolio assessment technologies to help them monitor and evaluate student progress in a variety of disciplines – and to help them and their students do even more.

Document cameras, often referred to as ELMOs because of a leading manufacturer (ELMO USA Corp.), have been used in classrooms for years.

Creating a college course totally as an online computer game seemed feasible when Assistant Dean Nora Reynolds and I first discussed it last year. After all, our team had developed over a hundred online courses and had been creating interactive games as drop-in learning objects in courses for years. We would simply “step up the effort a little.”

As the technology continues to improve, colleges and universities devise new ways of mastering institutional assessment: some vendor-based, some homegrown, some combinations of both.

They’re not just evaluation tools anymore. Savvy educators are seeing endless ways to exploit the power of the ePortfolio—and you can, too.

It’s been a year since Hurricane Katrina and the resulting flooding devastated New Orleans, and a new hurricane season is underway. At Delgado Community College, last year’s havoc hit hard. But the tragedy has resulted in some positive changes.
