SO, you are a retired EDUcator, TEACHer, Instructor, LEHRENDER: WHAT to do NOW?!! Well, that was the question I was asking myself when I became retired in 2014. As I did innovation in Modern-EDUcation in my country Luxembourg, there was NO WAY to give that up, BTW! SO, years before my retirement I…

This is a great paper on writing good learning outcomes. From this linked search page, open the PDF "A Primer on Learning Outcomes and the SOLO Taxonomy". I would link to the PDF directly but ScoopIt won't allow linking to a PDF!

If there’s ever been a Top 10 List of Most Boring Documents, a course syllabus would most certainly be on it. It’s unfortunate, too, because syllabi have a unique ability–as much as a written document can, I suppose–to get students excited about course content. There are a lot of things you can do to liven up a syllabus (check out 10 Reasons Why Your Syllabus Might Suck for a few good ideas), but nothing I have done has received more excitement from both my colleagues and my students than when I have turned my syllabus into an infographic.

We all know what it’s like to sit through a bad presentation. We can easily spot the flaws — too long, too boring, indecipherable, what have you — when we watch others speak. The thing is, when we take the stage ourselves, many of us fall into the same presentation mistakes. Here are five of [...] continue reading Via Peter Mellow

Libraries and funding agencies are finally flexing their muscles against journal paywalls. Authors should follow suit.
A PERSON COULD BE FORGIVEN for believing 20 years ago that the internet would soon revolutionize academic publishing. With the emergence of the world wide web, it suddenly became possible for academic publishers to disseminate scholarly work at the click of a button — at a fraction of the cost of printing and mailing hard-copy journals. Recognizing the opportunity, many scholars and librarians began to advocate a new, open access model of academic publishing, in which research articles are made freely available online to anyone who wants them, not just affiliates of colleges or universities. The result would be a true online “public library of science” — which, as it so happens, also became the name of one of the first publishers to embrace the model. As a new librarian in the early 2000s, I believed passionately in the cause of open access and worked hard to bring it about. But almost two decades later, the movement has made only slight gains at the margins, and the traditional subscription-based model remains firmly entrenched in academia. For the university libraries who bear most of the subscription costs, it is as though the internet revolution never happened: Since 1986, research library expenditures have grown at more than four times the rate of inflation, with journal prices showing the greatest price jumps of all.

When you are accepted to present for the EDUCAUSE community, face-to-face or online, your presentation will likely be viewed (synchronously or asynchronously) by hundreds of higher education professionals.

Recent years have introduced a variety of new technologies into the mainstream, such as artificial intelligence, data science, and virtual and augmented reality. As the research community increasingly uses these tools and techniques to generate findings, what are the needs of the library in supporting the research activity as well as the resulting output? This virtual conference will explore technologies supported by the modern research library and the impact on both workflow and workforce. Via Elizabeth E Charles
