[DG: Teaching & Learning] [Using Sakai] Conference Follow-up > Plans for This Week's Teachingand Learning Call

[Patrick Lynch]

Hi all

 

I realise that there is no perfect time for a worldwide call, but I
would like to contribute where I can. It is useful to have the agenda
for the meeting in advance and I hope that you can direct me to some
notes afterwards. I'm sure that it was mentioned in some of the sessions
that a sense of the work plan for the next few months would be really
valuable. This would certainly help me liaise with staff about topics in
time to get a richer sense of their needs. So I guess I am saying don't
forget those outside of 'the call' and could a plan be published,
outline would do for now.

Teachingand Learning Call

 


Greetings Exhausted Colleagues, 

WOW!  That was my thought as I boarded my plane Friday and reflected on
what was a tremendously exciting and eventful 11th international Sakai
Conference.  Of all of the great outcomes one of the most significant
for me was evidence that our teaching and learning community has clearly
grown over the years and now represents a large portion of those in
attendance.  Although I was not able to get to all of the T&L sessions
the feedback I got from attendees was very positive, my thanks to
everyone who contributed to this track and the Teaching with Sakai
Innovation Awards this year. 

Given the range of teaching and learning topics and ideas that surfaced
last week, I thought it might be useful to use the call this week to
debrief a bit and discuss which of the many interesting conference
outcomes we all want to focus on and put energy towards this coming
year.  At this point, there are at least three topics that have
surfaced: 

(1) 2011 Teaching with Sakai Innovation Awards - Planning for next
year's program 

(2) Sakai Learning Capabilities Design Lenses - Refining these and
beginning to apply them to Sakai 3 work 

(3) Collaborating on Distance Learning Topics - There is growing
interest to work together across institutions on training and other
resources on this topic 

If you have other topics to discuss please let me know so that we can
add them to the agenda and make sure we have time to discuss everything.


What I would like to suggest is that we have some broad discussions on
these topics so that we can map out, at a high level, what they are
about and will entail.  This will then help us decide how to best begin
working on them.  We may not be able to complete this discussion on one
call so we may need to dedicate more time to fleshing these out. 

** IMPORTANT ** > We are CHANGING THE TIME for the call this week to
allow for greater international involvement.  In particular, a group
from Charles Sturt University in Australia who are also actively
involved in Sakai 3 will be joining the call.  Our new START TIME will
be Wednesday, June 23rd 21:00 UCT or 5 PM EDT (2 PM local time in Los
Angeles and 7 AM, Thursday, local time in Sydney, AU).  We will discuss
the regular start time moving forward on the call.   

Dial in information is below and I will post a reminder on Wednesday. 

Thanks, Josh
