Message-ID: <5.2.1.1.2.20050113101850.01ff53d8@po9.mit.edu>

Good Morning,

The survey announced last week is scheduled to be closed on 
Saturday.  We've had a number of questions about who should fill out this 
survey, so some clarification may be generally helpful.

This survey is intended for all Departments, Lab's and Centers (DLCs) which 
have or are interested in local implementations of any database 
products.  For instance if your department runs a FileMaker, Microsoft 
Access, or any other database solutions we'd be very interested in hearing 
your thoughts on any services that would be valuable to you and your 
colleagues.  We will be using this information to make recommendations on 
how MIT might better support these kinds of needs across the 
community.  That is to say, what services would improve the effectiveness 
of database needs across the DLCs.  This is truly a very broad topic from 
both a business and a technical point of view.

You voice matters.  So please be encouraged to let us know about your needs.
   <http://web.mit.edu/ist/org/admincomputing/notebooks/DDADP/survey.html>http://web.mit.edu/ist/org/admincomputing/notebooks/DDADP/survey.html

We will also be hosting a few small focus group sessions soon for survey 
participants who wish to discuss their needs in more depth than a survey 
can facilitate.

    The use of Internet technology to facilitate interaction,
    communication, and collaboration is well documented but its use
    in establishing and developing "personal voice" as part of
    learning is also now being addressed through the use of blogs. 
    This article in Campus Technology Magazine reports on studies
    done at Trevecca Nazarene University on the use of blogs in the

In-Reply-To: <1105113302.29629.9.camel@arizona.mit.edu>

Hi,

If you were at the last ETPartners meeting, you may recall that I talked 
briefly about the possibility of forming a Boston area interest group 
composed of people working in educational technology.  Vijay made the 
suggestion to use NERCOMP as a base for developing such a group.

As an early step in pursuing this, I'm trying to assemble a list of people 
at NERCOMP schools doing ed-techie things whom I can contact to find out 
whether there's sufficient interest to go on.

I'm hoping that Ed Tech Partners can help reach people elsewhere who might 
either be interested in participating themselves or who could direct us to 
others on their campus more involved with educational technology.  If you 
know of such, you could send names to me and I'll follow up, or you could 
contact people yourself and let me know what you find. (If you send email 
to others and can cc me, I'll have a sense of how things are progressing.)

Some of the initiatives that might arise out of a group like this are:
- an inter-campus email distribution list.
- formation of sub groups around specific topics like classroom technology, 
learning management systems, simulations, instructional design...
- invitations to ongoing or special events on other campuses  (We could 
invite colleagues to Crosstalk Seminars and the Ed Tech Fair as they might 
let us know about events of interest on their campus.)
- simple programming, like tours of interesting facilities elsewhere.
If it got going, I suspect more interesting things would emerge.

Thanks for your consideration.

Best regards,

-Peter

Abstract
This project is the systematic replacement of paper by tablets for the
students as well as the replacement of the chalkboard for the professor.
We are attempting to understand the limiting factors associated with the
use of this technology on a daily basis. To this end we are recording
reliability, usability and the increase in learning that is derived from
the use of Tablet PC?s. We are also attempting to measure the
fundamental shift required to eliminate paper and to create
instantaneous access to the information for the students. This will
serve to increase the speed of learning. 

We started with two highly visual classes, Neuroanatomy and Mandarin. We
then extended Tablet PC?s to include special projects in various other
subjects, such as Biomedical Engineering, Health Science and Technology,
Business and a class at the University of Hong Kong Medical Faculty. 

I will present what we have learned, plus new ways to use Tablet PCs in
education. In addition, I will provide the data to show that not only
was there an increase in course material delivered but also a dramatic
increase in learning was achieved.

Thursday January 20

Using Interactive Web Applications to Help Teach Math and Science Concepts

Prof. Larry Bucciarelli, School of Engineering
Dr. Julie Greenberg, Health Sciences and Technology
Prof. Haynes Miller, Department of Mathematics

Interactive web applications, whether created from scratch with Java 
applets, for example, or put together from software such as the MATLAB Web 
Server and webMathematica, -- two services offered by Academic Computing -- 
can be a great aid in teaching difficult math and science concepts. This 
presentation will give an overview of these technologies and feature 
examples drawn from MIT courses. It will discuss what it takes to create 
such applications and how they are used in the classroom and/or in homework 
assignments.



Tuesday January 25

Using MathML to Represent Equations on the Web and Share Scientific Content 
between Math and Science Applications

Rich Caloggero, Adaptive Technology for Information and Computing, IS&T
B.K. DeLong, OpenCourseWare
Prof. Ian Hutchinson, Department of Nuclear Engineering
Daniel Jamous, Academic Computing, IS&T

MathML (the Mathematical Markup Language) has the potential to 
revolutionize the way digital scientific content is used and reused in many 
scientific and engineering disciplines. It makes possible the exchange of 
scientific content in applications as diverse as web publishing, computer 
algebra systems, print typesetting, and speech synthesis. Yet, in spite of 
all these advantages, MathML has been used very little in the scientific 
community at MIT and elsewhere. This presentation will review various 
initiatives and perspectives on this technology at MIT and discuss possible 
next steps that would help increase adoption.



Thursday January 27

High Performance Computing (HPC) in Teaching

Geoff Hulette, Daniel Jamous, Phil Long, Chuck Shubert, Academic Computing IS&T

In the spring of 2004, Academic Computing launched the High Performance 
Computing (HPC) for Undergraduate Education pilot project with the 
objectives of: assessing the educational values of HPC clusters, 
identifying support requirements to provide reliable and effective service, 
and exploring the use of computational tools for undergraduate teaching. 
This presentation will review where the project stands and will report on 
HPC clusters' usage.

Subject: [edtech] IAP Ed Tech sessions Tuesday
Message-ID: <p06200728be1af364f710@[18.152.6.165]>

Hi all,

I hope everyone weathered the blizzard ok. Tomorrow (Tuesday) 
Academic Computing presents two talks, both in Room 3-133. We hope 
you can join us. The forecast is sunny with chance of cookies!

Overview of Educational Technology at MIT
Katie Vale, Academic Computing
Tue Jan 25, 01-02:30pm, 3-133

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Prereq: none

  Staff from Academic Computing will discuss and demonstrate a wide 
variety of educational technologies currently in use by MIT faculty. 
These will include web-based simulations, math software, 
instructional video, geographic information systems, web-accessible 
databases, and electronic textbooks. Staff will be available to 
consult with instructors on existing or potential projects.


Using MathML to Represent Equations on the Web and Share Scientific 
Content Between Math and Science Applications
Daniel Jamous, Academic Computing
Tue Jan 25, 02:30-04:00pm, 3-133

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Prereq: none

  MathML (the Mathematical Markup Language) has the potential to 
revolutionize the way digital scientific content is used and reused 
in many scientific and engineering disciplines. It makes possible the 
exchange of scientific content in applications as diverse as web 
publishing, computer algebra systems, print typesetting, and speech 
synthesis. Yet, in spite of all these advantages, MathML has been 
used very little in the scientific community at MIT and elsewhere. 
This presentation will review various initiatives and perspectives on 
this technology at MIT and discuss possible next steps that would 
help increase adoption.

Subject: [edtech] The MIT OpenCourseWare Update -- Vol. 3, Issue 1
Message-ID: <a06200708be1ae377a20f@[18.89.2.233]>

----------------------------------------------------------------
The MIT OpenCourseWare Update: January 2005

A Monthly E-mail Newsletter for Users
and Friends of MIT OpenCourseWare
----------------------------------------------------------------

The January 2005 MIT OpenCourseWare Update Contains:
1. New User Feature: MIT Curriculum Guide
2. MIT OCW's Approach to Video and Audio
3. Digging Deeper: Course 21M.361
4. A Frequently Asked Question
5. Comments
6. Newsletter Available Online at 
<http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Global/AboutOCW/newsletter.htm>http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Global/AboutOCW/newsletter.htm



1. New User Feature: MIT Curriculum Guide
----------------------------------------------------------------
Many users have contacted MIT OpenCourseWare (MIT OCW), asking for 
information about MIT's curriculum so they would be able to design 
their own course of self-study. In the interest of improving the user 
experience with MIT OCW materials, we are now offering a 
<http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Global/OCWHelp/mitcurriculum.htm>guide to 
the MIT's undergraduate and graduate curriculum on the MIT OCW Web 
site. Users are reminded that following these MIT curriculum 
requirements does not make them eligible to receive a degree or any 
other sort of certification. This is merely an informational service 
that MIT OCW is providing for its users.

On this page, you will find a list of all 33 of MIT's academic 
departments, along with a 
<http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Global/OCWHelp/mitcurriculum.htm>degree 
table that offers links to the degree requirements -- both 
undergraduate and graduate -- for each department. In addition, we 
provide the 
<http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Global/OCWHelp/mitcurriculum.htm#undergrad>graduation 
requirements for MIT undergraduates, and an explanation of the 
various 
<http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Global/OCWHelp/mitcurriculum.htm#grad>degrees 
MIT graduate students may pursue.

Again, users are reminded that MIT OCW is not a distance-learning 
initiative, there is no registration or enrollment process required 
for users to view course materials. Nor is there a certificate or 
degree granted upon completion of the materials. MIT OCW is a 
publication of the course materials that support the dynamic 
classroom interactions of an MIT education.

We hope this serves as a useful tool for educators, students, and 
self-learners interacting with the MIT OCW materials. Please feel 
free to <mailto:ocw at mit.edu>send us your feedback on this new MIT OCW 
user feature.



2. MIT OCW's Approach to Video and Audio
----------------------------------------------------------------
Video lectures are useful for users of MIT OCW, and we continue to 
strategically publish video lectures from select faculty at MIT. But 
there are several reasons that MIT OCW does not include video in 
every course. The main concern is cost: While the technology for 
compressing and storing video is becoming more affordable, it is 
still not affordable, or feasible from a production standpoint, for 
us to be compressing 20 video lectures for all 915 of our courses. 
MIT OCW does not have that kind of storage capacity at this time.

We are hoping that by providing the syllabus, reading lists and 
lecture notes, we are offering a chance for educators and students to 
jumpstart their own teaching and learning within their chosen 
discipline. While the video lectures for 
<http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mathematics/18-06Linear-AlgebraFall2002/CourseHome/index.htm>Course 
18.06: Linear Algebra, for example, are very easy for people with 
fast Internet connections to watch, MIT OCW is not intended to be a 
complete distance learning resource, it merely provides the raw 
materials of an MIT education.

We do, however, offer complete video lecture series for the following courses:
<http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Physics/8-01Physics-IFall1999/VideoLectures/index.htm>Course 
8.01 -- Physics I, Fall 1999
<http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Physics/8-02Electricity-and-MagnetismSpring2002/VideoLectures/index.htm>Course 
8.02 -- Electricity and Magnetism, Spring 2002
<http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mathematics/18-03Spring2004/VideoLectures/index.htm>Course 
18.03 -- Differential Equations, Spring 2004
<http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mathematics/18-06Linear-AlgebraFall2002/VideoLectures/index.htm>Course 
18.06 -- Linear Algebra, Fall 2002
<http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mathematics/18-085Mathematical-Methods-for-Engineers-IFall2002/VideoLectures/index.htm>Course 
18.085 -- Mathematical Methods for Engineers I, Fall 2002
<http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Comparative-Media-Studies/CMS-930Media--Education--and-the-MarketplaceFall2001/VideoLectures/index.htm>Course 
CMS.930 -- Media, Education, and the Marketplace, Fall 2001

For more information about our video and audio lectures, please visit 
the new <http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Global/OCWHelp/avocw.htm>Video and 
Audio on MIT OCW page in the 
<http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Global/OCWHelp/help.htm>Help section of 
our site.



3. Digging Deeper: Course 21M.361
----------------------------------------------------------------
While MIT is known as a world-class research and technology 
institution, there is a very rich tradition of the study of the arts 
and humanities at the school. Charged with the energy of new ideas, 
the <http://web.mit.edu/shass/>MIT School of Humanities, Arts, and 
Social Sciences (SHASS) attracts many of the world's finest faculty, 
students, and researchers. SHASS, in fact, is the common denominator 
of an MIT student's undergraduate education, providing a foundation 
of knowledge that enhances life-long learning in every field.

Among the 13 departments and programs offered by SHASS is the 
<http://web.mit.edu/mta/www/music/index.html>MIT Music and Theater 
Arts Section, which offers a variety of challenging and rewarding 
musical opportunities for students at every level of preparation and 
talent, including 
<http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Music-and-Theater-Arts/21M-361Composing-with-ComputersSpring2003/CourseHome/index.htm>Course 
21M.361 -- Composing with Computers, a course taught by Professor 
Evan Ziporyn.

In this course students use computers and computer-aided technology 
as compositional tools, that is, as a means to music-making and an 
avenue to approach musical and acoustic concepts. Each unit of study 
consists of a series of short composition projects using specific 
types of hardware and software in clearly delineated ways. This 
involves live recording and digital editing, digital processing, 
analog sound synthesis (real and virtual), MIDI sequencing, and 
building interactive environments. For enrolled MIT students, the 
course culminates in a large, final composition and a public concert.

The course 
<http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Music-and-Theater-Arts/21M-361Composing-with-ComputersSpring2003/Syllabus/index.htm>syllabus 
is divided into four units: Sound Structures, Feedback, Structuring 
Sound, and Interaction. There is also a 
<http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Music-and-Theater-Arts/21M-361Composing-with-ComputersSpring2003/Readings/index.htm>rich 
list of suggested readings (including Computer Music: Synthesis, 
Composition, and Performance by Charles Dodge and Thomas Jerse), CDs, 
and video that help illustrate the principles taught in the course. 
In addition, Professor Ziporyn has compiled 
<http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Music-and-Theater-Arts/21M-361Composing-with-ComputersSpring2003/Labs/index.htm>11 
labs that help teach students the principles of sound and music 
composition.

This course has been translated into 
<http://mit.ocw.universia.net/21M-361Composing-with-ComputersSpring2003/OcwWeb/Music-and-Theater-Arts/21M-361Composing-with-ComputersSpring2003/CourseHome/index.htm>Spanish 
and 
<http://www.universiabrasil.net/mit/curso.jsp?codcurso=82>Portuguese 
through MIT OCW's partnership with 
<http://www.universia.net/>Universia.net, a Madrid-based content 
provider for more than 800 universities in Spain, Portugal, and Latin 
America.



4. A Frequently Asked Question
----------------------------------------------------------------
QUESTION: How do I find what courses are available?
ANSWER: MIT OCW offers the educational materials 
from <http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Global/all-courses.htm>915 MIT 
courses. There are three ways to access the materials: Utilize the 
Search function that can be found in the left-hand corner of every 
page on the MIT OCW site. Search for specific text, such as certain 
academic discipline area, across all courses or within just one 
course. To perform a detailed search, use 
our <http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/jsp/AdvancedSearch.jsp>Advanced Search.

A second way to see what courses are available is to click 
on <http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Global/all-courses.htm>Course List that 
is listed in the top right-corner navigation of every page on the MIT 
OCW Web site. This will allow you to view the list of every available 
course, grouped into the 33 MIT academic departments.
