Vladimir Uskov – Library Wyckoff Room, March
5, 2004
These days, streaming media technology is one of key driving
forces that help to transform higher education from narrow,
local, face-to-face, in-classroom, one-teacher-based type
of education into a global, technology-based, learner-centered
type of education and training. Dr. Vladimir Uskov will
make a presentation on innovative streaming Web-lecturing
technology that has been developed at the InterLabs Research
Institute at Bradley University as a part of the National
Science Foundation's grant on advanced online education.

“Distance Delivery Course Design”,
Arlyn Rubash - Library Wyckoff Room, April 2, 2004
Courses employing distance delivery at various quality
levels abound. Distance delivery experiences must foster
problem solving and analytical skill. Collaboration is
exacerbated with distance delivery. Traditional exams can
similarly be compromised. Distance delivery students deserve
the feeling and welcome of traditional classes. Distance
delivery accommodates individuality and excellence. Design
distance delivery courses, with attention to individuality.
Mistake explanations can aid learning. Distance courses
should excel beyond traditional courses. Fortunately distance
delivery classes are easily replicable.

Shondra Johnson - Library Wyckoff Room, April 16, 2004
Shondra Johnson, who teaches in the Accounting Department

“Internet 2 Multicasting Sessions”,
Lori Russell-Chapin - Caterpillar Global Communication Center
Room 124, April 23, 2004
Using the Internet 2(I2) and conducting multicasting
sessions for our students has created amazing “teachable moments”.
This semester twenty of our counseling students had the opportunity
to connect with twelve other programs from around the United
States! Our students worked and taught other students about
multicultural issues, ethics, diagnoses, supervision and
wellness. Bradley University is the central site, and the
technology
allows everyone to see and hear each of the sites individually
and together. In this afternoon teaching session, participants
will see videotapes of the four sessions, showing some of
the best and a few of the awkward moments.

“Keeping a Course ‘Live’ While
an Ocean Separates You From Your Students”,
Dennis Beck - Library Wyckoff Room, April 30, 2004
For two summers, Dennis Beck has taught Bradley's
Introduction to Theatre while doing research 4000 miles away
in the Czech Republic. Like theatre, the traditional classroom
is based in visual, live, and interactive communication. To
avoid the disengagement and lack of investment in a course
that distance learning can exacerbate, methods can be adopted
of replicating or substituting for the "liveness" of
the classroom. Adjustments to methods of student/teacher
communication, of class discussion, of course content delivery
and assessment, as well as adjustments for time and location
differences will be covered.
