Distance Teaching/Learning Conference Interviews on Blending Technologies

These videos provides you with perspectives on “blending technologies” for teaching and learning at a distance. You’ll meet five experts who spoke at the Madison , WI conference in August of 2003: Wayne Pferdehirt, Dr, Rick Lillie, Eleanor Goldstein, Jennifer Hofmann; and Dr. Chuck Kater. The experts were interviewed by Dr. Rosemary Lehman of Instructional Communications Systems. The movies are available in .smil and .mov formats, are captioned, and require RealPlayer or QuckTime Player to be viewed. All PDF transcripts require the use of Adobe Reader. RealPlayer, QuickTime Player, and Adobe Reader can be downloaded for free (see bottom of page).

Professor Colleen Capper, School of Education, UW-Madison

Colleen’s course focused on issues of diversity. Her students were public school teachers. Although Colleen was skeptical about using videoconferencing to teach the course, she became an enthusiastic believer and discovered that her interactive teaching style was an excellent match for this new technology. Colleen also built a Web site for the course and interacted with the teachers via email.

Professor Paul Kelter, Chemistry Department, UW-Oshkosh

During Paul’s videoconferencing classes, the students, public school teachers participated in laboratory experiments with Paul at their remote sites. All ingredients for each session of experiments were detailed for them in the course syllabus. The experiments were followed by outcome comparisons and discussion. Guest experts were also brought in to share their expertise.

 

Professors Bill Kirby and Rick Mitchell, Mathematics and Computer Science, UW-Stevens Point

This live interactive videoconferencing course was taught to improve teachers’ knowledge and understanding of math standards, concepts and principles. Working along with the instructors, teachers at each of the remote sites participated in activities with manipulatives and learned effective ways to implement these activities into their classrooms.

 

Professor Don Schramm, Engineering Professional Development, University of Wisconsin-Madison

In this video, Don Schramm of the Department of Engineering Professional Development at the University of Wisconsin-Madison describes different ways he has used WisLine Web (webconferencing) both independently, and along with asynchronous delivery methods to improve the educational experience for his students.
