Fifty Years of Green: A Digital Exhibition

Professor Kathy Morse (History) and Postdoc Alicia Peaker (DLA) will discuss the goals, process, successes and stumbles in having students build a series of collaborative, digital exhibits to mark 50 years of environmental studies at Middlebury. Fifty Years of Green, built using Omeka & Neatline, showcases the work of students in a Spring 2015 Environmental History course (HIST 222). During their talk, Kathy and Alicia will reflect on collaborative digital work; modifying an existing course with an experimental project; and student reactions to learning new software and skills.

Envisioning Teaching & Learning:Keeping Science Real: The UMASS iCons Program

From a radical idea first proposed in 2008, the integrated concentration in science (iCons) program at UMass Amherst has evolved into a living, breathing, academic program that has uprooted expectations about what undergraduate students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are capable of achieving.

Envisioning Teaching & Learning: Teaching When Technology Hacks Reality

One of the most interesting and potentially transformative technological trends concerns two separate movements. On the one hand, we have virtual reality, a 1990s dream that has suddenly become practical through expensive devices and smartphones. VR experiences, stories, experiments, technologies, and practices are rapidly growing, with a series of educational uses. On the other hand augmented reality (AR), the practice of tying digital data to the physical world, has quietly matured as mobile devices bring us information through Google Maps, Yelp, and more.
