Jean Bedord and Vicki Garlow
Interested in the technologies behind the very successful distance education program at San Jose State University? Join us for a noon-time event on February 26, at lunchtime, so you can experience the learning environment for students in the School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) program.
Tools and Technologies for Distance Education at SJSU
Our speaker will be Debbie Faires, Assistant Director for Distance Learning, who is responsible for ensuring faculty and staff have the tools and environment to be effective in this totally distance graduate program. Debbie was honored as Outstanding Lecturer in the College of Applied Sciences and Arts (not just the library school!) for 2007-2008. Debbie got her MLIS degree at SJSU in 2001, as the migration to online instruction was occurring. She was also librarian and instructor at Diablo Valley College in the Library and Information Technology program. You can see her profile at http://slisweb.sjsu.edu/people/faculty/fairesd/fairesd.php
We'll be exploring the ANGEL learning management system for instruction, as well as "attending" using the Elluminate web conferencing system for higher education. Debbie will show us some of the tools instructors utilize in communicating online without face-to-face interaction. New graduates will be familiar with these technologies, and through the SJSU intern program, students are available to do projects.
There will be no charge for this webinar, but you will need to register to receive detailed instructions and the login information.
WHEN: Friday, February 26, 12-1 Noontime
