it was good to meet you today, sujan--i've forwarded your name along to my campus IT people. hopefully, we can make better use of our videoconference technology.
ELT is excited to announce the details of our 4th annual unconference as we continue our mission to:
- share, engage and network with fellow instructional technology practitioners
- brainstorm, develop and find collaborators on a new idea/topic and
- remove the isolation of practice and strengthen a community of practice…after all we are in the silo removal business!
For this year’s unconference we’ll be introducing tracks to guide the conversations about topics you find interesting. The tracks this year will be Teaching and Learning, Digital Media, TechGeek and Wildcard.
If you are eager to dive in to these kinds of discussions with like-minded people, this unconference is for you.

How: The content (i.e. the conference sessions) will be determined on the day of the unconference in a preliminary planning session.
Register: Use this site to register for the unconference. New crowdvine users should click on create an account to register. Prior crowdvine members should join the network to register.
Snackluck: You are encouraged to bring a snack to share as you might for a potluck.

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. ... Stay hungry. Stay foolish."
Steve Jobs-- Stanford University commencement address, June 2005.

Teaching & Learning Track Topics
Good Afternoon I'll be facilitating some of the Teaching & Learning track breakouts. I see that some attendees are interested in lecture capture, ed psych and distance learning. Are there specific topics within those categories that might merit attention as a specific breakout? Some snacks for thought: With regards to lecture capture and digital media creation in general how do various departments handle fair use, copyright and ownership? What wo... [read more]

We're in the process of revamping our first floor space to be a more collaborative open area. We'll be formulating a plan for our 4th floor next. Our budget cuts will affect how far we can take the usability lab we were proposing.
What's the word on your end? My take on the last meeting was that an inventory and needs assessment would identify what studio spaces we have, their capabilities and then define requirements for a centralized studio. Do you have any of this data?

Mapping citations across disciplines
Hit tip to Brian Lee for posting this to Yammer today, and I wanted to share it here to see if others are interested in discussing work like this? Personally, I find this really compelling. http://chronicle.com/article/Maps-of-Citations-Uncover-New/128938
Terry Bradley:
Definitely compelling, and this is where I think "cloud computing" could really be useful in the academic community. I'm probably on the ig-no-runt end of this continuum, but discussion time on this topic would be excellent.

ELTU4 Digital Media Track
Thanks to ELTU for adding a Digital Media Track this year! What does this mean? It means that during the event, we'll make sure that folks who attend can identify sessions that relate to digital media and can spend the whole day exploring learning tech related to digital media. If this sounds like fun, please consider attending and suggesting sessions that relate to this track. For example: digital media curation, preservation, metadata and taggi... [read more]

Looking forward to ELTU4!
Welcome to the website for ELTU4, the fourth unconference hosted by the Exploring Learning Technologies community at Ohio State! Registration for the unconference is not required (or should we say "unrequired") but is a good idea for getting to know who else is planning to attend.
