Presentation of the 2008-09 Duke Digital Initiative programs and their outcomes, and an overview of programs being supported through DDI in 2009-2010.
- Started with iPod: putting something out there and see what people could do
- Evolution of CIT to consulting with faculty on incorporating new technologies into their teaching
- Program of innovation: explore what might be useful, take the best ones, figure out how to infuse them across campus
- 2008-2009 about finding ways to document the experience of students
- Tools: flip cameras, mini DV, cameras, hi def video, iPod Touch, webcams, screen capture software, VoiceThread, etc.
- The Link space: experimental classroom space, many disciplines this year, largest percentage in science
New this year: flip cameras
- Huge and immediate uptake
- 3 week project to document sustainability across campus, bring together into a movie presentation
- Tools are not the purpose of the seminar, but allow you to accomplish more in the classroom
New this year: webcams
- Less uptake than flip cameras, but still used widely
- Skype, etc, use in languages, education, public policy, economics, and rotaract club
New this year: VoiceThread
- Audio annotation of video and images
- They showed an example for a language class. I bet most language teachers would love it.
DDI 2009-2010
- Continued innovation with multimedia capture, publishing and collaboration tools
- Explore promising tools to support more seamless integration of media into learning environments
- Also looking at what people can do with the media people create (I love this. This is one of the reasons that I think that instructional technology work makes sense in the library.)
- Considering how we can take the tools that people already have and figure out how they can be used in classes.
- DDI website also a social network (Ning). Anyone can contribute an idea.
- Discontinuing grant program in the next year, but will be continuing the loaner program.
- Multimedia projects labs on campus (2 for students, 1 for faculty) for in-depth work on multimedia projects
