Wiki
Fever- Quick, Easy Online Collaboration
There are so many
possibilities for faculty to make
use of wikis for teaching and learning
that
we have wiki fever! For instance, your students can use a wiki for collaborative writing. Since the wiki has built-in version history, they can see all of the changes made by each individual over time. You can make your wiki a secure private workspace or a publicly accessible website. You can post images and weblinks to it. What exactly is
a wiki? Come to this demonstration session
to find out. Visit https://wiki.math.umd.edu/arhu_open to
see one example, and visit http://otal.umd.edu/wikirequest.html to request a wiki.

ARTStor:
Digital Image Resource for all
Disciplines
ARTstor is a repository of hundreds of thousands of
digital images from across many periods and cultures.
Any discipline can make use of the architecture, painting,
sculpture, photography, decorative arts, design and
other forms of visual culture that are represented.
ARTstor provides client tools to actively use images
for research, teaching and learning, or you can link
to ARTtor images directly from PowerPoint.
Join us for an overview of this rich resource that
will include a discussion of using ARTstor for teaching
and a hands-on introduction to its capabilities.
Presenters:
Lauree Sails, Director, Visual Resources
Center, Department of Art History & Archaeology;
and
Joan Stahl, Branch Manager, Art
& Architecture Libraries, UM Libraries
Digital
Audio Made Easy: iTunes, Podcasting
and Portable Recorders
Recording and distributing digital
audio has become easy. Come
to our workshop where
we will introduce you to the basics
of iTunes, podcasting, and iPods
and discuss some
of the instructional possibilities
for these devices in the Humanities.
Whether you are recording guest
speakers, special lectures or events,
tap into the craze as your students
take advantage of the portability
made available with devices such
as iPods and iRiver devices.
RSS
Feeds: Let Current Information
Come to You
RSS (Real Simple Syndication) allows
you to get the latest headlines
and articles (or even audio files,
photographs or video) in one place, as soon as they
are published, without having to remember to visit
each site every day. Subscribe to a "feed" such
as NPR, BBC or a Weblog and have the
content delivered to you. RSS
feeds provide an interesting new possibility
for faculty in both professional currency
and teaching. During this workshop, we'll
walk you through the process of using
a news aggregator to subscribe to a RSS
feed as well as include an RSS feed into
your course website or WebCT.
