[Innovate] December/January Issue Webcasts

Well, I posted a couple of articles from the latest edition of Innovate a few days ago, so here is the corresponding webcast schedule for those articles.

Innovate (www.innovateonline.info) is published bimonthly as a public service by the Fischler School of Education and Human Services at Nova Southeastern Innovate (www.innovateonline.info) is published bimonthly as a public service by the Fischler School of Education and Human Services at Nova Southeastern University and is sponsored, in part, by Microsoft. The articles in the December/January issue illuminate how to work and teach more effectively in a digital world; our Innovate-Live webcasts, produced by our partner, ULiveandLearn, allow authors to discuss their articles with readers in a synchronous format.

Finally, we offer two commentaries on bridging the gap between tech-savvy Net Generation students and their instructors. Jennifer Summerville and John Fischetti describe what they call "the loophole generation" and offer strategies for combating online cheating, bullying, and excuse making. [See http://innovateonline.info/index.php?view=article&id=343&action=article]. Their webcast is scheduled for December 11, 2007 at 2:00 PM EST.

Lynn Zimmerman and Anastasia Trekles Milligan team up to offer perspectives from both sides of the technological and generational divide, discussing how technology has changed the way students view both linguistic conventions and the etiquette of instructor-student relations.

We hope that you enjoy this issue of Innovate. Please use the discussion board within each article to raise questions or provide additional commentary. Your comments will be sent to authors for their response, which will become part of the record for their article. Also, please forward this announcement to appropriate mailing lists and to colleagues who want to use IT tools to advance their work and ask your organizational librarian to link to Innovate in their resource section for open-access e-journals.

Finally, if you are considering submitting a manuscript describing how you use Microsoft technology to enhance the educational experience for publication consideration in the From our Sponsors section, please make sure that it conforms to the publication guidelines described at the Contribute link on Innovate’s navigation bar.

Thanks!

I've never been to one of their webcasts before, but would be interested in hearing from someone about how they are?
