Status of Technology Assessment Surveys

Margaret Hogan and Shiji Shen did not have anything to report at this meeting. They did say that they are working on a survey and hope may have have some preliminary results available at the Retreat.

The week following this meeting, Shiji sent out a new draft of the survey for transferred students that has 4 questions on technology- MS Word version is at:

Ocotillo Retreat 2000
 A sample agenda and flyer were passed out. The group went through the agenda to determine if it would work well for both days. Alan reported that Rufus Glasper and Ron Bleed were interested in presenting for the large group discussions (Bleed on 5/16 and Glasper on 5/17) Both will attend next meeting to help shape the sessions.

The agenda has now been adjusted (post meeting efforts) so that we start the days with showcases from 8:30 Am to 10:00 so we start with an active sessions. This will be followed by large group discussions (10:00 - 11:00) and the first round of breakouts (3-4 topics from 11:00 - 12:00). There will be optional lunch time speakers. At 1:00 we will have a second round of breakouts (2 topics, 1:00 - 2:00) and at the same time the student showcases/ Ask an Expert sessions will run from 1:00 - 3:00

Registration is now available online:

Showcases will be comprised of "poster sessions" and vendor demonstrations and presentations, plus student using technology/team projects/presentations. MCLI is working with the vendors to provide student honorariums or bookstore gift certificates. It also would be good to see faculty projects as well.

Ask the Expert/Showcase session:
Alan will create a sign-up form that will include what the presenters needs will be to present.

Where are we headed with technology? Can we get demonstrations to show where our future is headed? Would like to promote discussion and show potential new technologies - how can we evolve?

Is web use for standard operating systems the way to go? Umbrella, GCC Palette, My MCC?

Since we do not have time (or money) to bring in outside presenters with examples of successful course technology applications, we can create a collection of the "best of the best" sites and see what they show. We can also call for nominations via the web before and during the retreat [the worlds best Applets, best delivery, best output] i.e. examples from the World Lecture Hall [Criteria for selection will be suggested by Pam Petty].
