Who’s attending? There is room for 32 – 34 people.
The group discussed the history of the Podcasting session… most campuses seem to be doing something with podcasting. We should do what ever we can to share what we are doing on other campuses and what is working. The intent is to understand what is going on at other campuses and learn from other campuses. How are faculty using podcasting on your campuses? What’s working? What has not worked? What are the lessons learned? What kinds of tools are campuses using?
We can’t do a lot of faculty demos due to time constraints. We can bring in one or two faculty to demo and/or discussion what they did, how they use it, what was the out come, how did it further learning, would you do it again? Consider maybe 4-6 faculty members either on site or via teleconferencing.
We need to frame this around some context.
ACTION – Fill out the campus survey on use of podcasting on your campus. Jim will send the link out to LTDC members. The survey is intended to be taken by LTDC members, it is not intended for faculty or students. There is concern about bringing faculty due to logistics and time constraints. The Podcasting Planning Committee will be better able respond to the survey by the end of this week.
* Include an option for us to bring in a faculty voice via a prerecorded technology.
The Podcasting planning committee will make some recommendations based on the survey, then send recommendations to the LTDC planning committee and share with the LTDC members. The Committee consists of:
Tanya Joosten, UW-Milwaukee – tjoosten@uwm.edu
Amy Mangrich, UW Milwaukee – amangric@uwm.edu
Mary Mielke (LTDC rep), UW-Stevens Point – Mary.Mielke@uwsp.edu
Jan Cheetham, UW-Madison – cheetham@doit.wisc.edu
Ron Cramer, UW-Madison – rjcramer@wisc.edu
Jim Jorstad, LTDC Executive Chair, UW-La Crosse- jorstad.jame@uwlax.edu
The Planning Committee will make recommendations to the LTDC Executive Board regarding inviting faculty, and the Podcasting program schedule and layout.
* Confirmations for rooms at the County Inn Suites must be done by September 10.
2) Emergency technology grant – Alan Foley – Applications can come in at any time. The money must be spent by the end of the fiscal year; something to keep in mind is If proposals come in towards the later part of the year it may be more difficult to spend the funds.
The provost needs to be made aware of the grant opportunity. Leave it up to each campus to notify the provost office.
3) Communications Committee – How do we explain to the world what LTDE does, what are our success stories?
Carole Turner, Penny Ralston-Berg and Karen Ryan volunteer to be a part of the committee with Jim Jorstad.
