Mendeley: Innovations in Distance Learning Program Development and Delivery
by James Lindner, Kim Dooley, Marshall Schott, William Chernish
Abstract
Delivering high-quality instruction requires innovation in program development and delivery. This article examines the use of merging technologies in the delivery of learner-based instruction, the development of collaborative teaching environments that maximize the efforts of faculty content experts, and the implementation of databases to manage electronic course materials at two large public universities. It also identifies effective strategies to develop more holistic teaching-learning communities and efforts to document learning outcomes using alternative forms of assessment.
Campus Technology: Real-World Strategies for Planning Your Tech Refresh
There comes a time when the cost of managing your existing hardware exceeds the cost of new hardware. These resources contain real-world strategies for planning your technology refresh and what you can do to better manage the IT lifecycle on your campus.
1. Leveraging Digital Media Across the Higher Education Campus
Education is evolving and expanding to a much more dynamic, multimedia platform. In anticipation of these changes, this white paper presents the benefits of embracing multimedia technologies as institutions begin to struggle with the shift from paper-based publications to electronic formats.
2. TBR Notebook Desktop Satisfaction Study
One measure of a truly outstanding brand is how its customer satisfaction ratings fare during tough economic times. In 2009—at the height of the Great Recession—an independent study showed that Lenovo achieved singular No.1 rankings in customer satisfaction while its competitors' ratings suffered greatly. What's Lenovo's secret? Why are its customers more satisfied than those of its competitors? Find out when you access this white paper that reports findings from a survey conducted by Technology Business Research, Inc.
3. Security for a 2.0 World
Security has never been a greater challenge to IT professionals in education. That's why GovConnection partnered with Cisco and the University Business Leadership Institute to host an event to discuss the challenge and offer assistance, guidance, and understanding in managing and mitigating security risks. This event is over, but if you missed it, you're in luck; we hand-picked the highlights and condensed them into this succinct report.
We hope you find these resources valuable.
To your success,
Campus Technology and GovConnection
