The 2014 CIT Instructional Technology Showcase is just a few weeks away, and the full schedule of concurrent sessions is now available. Register to attend the showcase! This free event, which highlights innovative teaching ideas and outstanding work by Duke faculty over the past year, will be held at the Washington Duke Inn on Monday, October 13th. Start your morning with breakfast at 8:30 AM, and attend sessions from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Lunch will also be provided to those that register by Thursday, October 9th at 5:00 PM.
In addition to offering presentation sessions, the Showcase features information tables that provide an opportunity to learn more about teaching- and learning-related tools and services that are offered by various departments across campus. During scheduled networking/information breaks between sessions, you can explore these tables, and take advantage of the opportunity to talk with other attendees about teaching, the intersection of technology and learning, and to get new ideas for your own classes.
This year’s Keynote Address will be delivered by Michael Feldstein, and will focus on helping us think through how to approach educational technology sensibly in the wake of the MOOC hype. Michael is a Partner at MindWires Consulting, Co-Publisher of e-Literate, and Co-Producer of e-Literate TV. A lifelong educator, Michael was an Assistant Director at the SUNY Learning Network, where he oversaw blended learning faculty development, and was part of the leadership team for the LMS platform migration efforts of this 40-campus program. Before SUNY, he was co-founder and CEO of MindWires, a company that provided e-learning and knowledge management products and services to Fortune 500 corporations, with a special emphasis on software simulations. In a previous life, Michael was a middle school and high school teacher.
To close out the Showcase, we will hold drawings for an iPad and a Kindle Fire. We hope you will join us!
