Update from Multi-Faceted Delivery (MFD) Meeting - Dec 1

Here are a few things discussed at today's MFD meeting.

1. The keynote for the MFD conference in the spring will be Louis Schmier, a History prof from Georgia. His passion is about connecting with students, teaching from the heart . . . . should be a great keynote.

2. IT is working on virtualization with the Professional Golf Program (PGM). Students would be encouraged to use their own laptops and would be able to access virtual desktops. One barrier would be software licenses.

3. Dwayne mentioned the Polleverywhere software. We need to try this . . . as soon as someone has time.

4.
Dean - still working on the learning object repository.


5. Dwayne's Ed Tech survey - He is compiling data. The same survey will be delivered to other institutions in AB, and possibly nationally.

6. Yuuguu - With this tool we can hold online meetings, share our screens and work together on the same documents in real time. Dwayne's website has a link to a table with many different web conferencing tools. It sounds like Tyler and a few others have been working with Dwayne on this. Perhaps at the next EET meeting you could do a demo . . .
