"The Wanderer"
If you're "the type of guy who likes to roam around" with your technology, and your computer is "never in one place," come and find out how you can take the library with you on your travels. Soon you can access the library catalog, look at your borrowing record, and search library databases like EBSCO and Naxos all from your mobile device. Get some specifics about how mobile technology is changing the ways in which the university community accesses information. Stay on the move, but don't be "going nowhere."

Come and get a first-hand look.

September Session: Summertime Blues

To open the Fall Chat Chow season,  faculty members from the Business Department-- Tom Marpe, Theresa Speck, and Jeff Hefel-- reported on their experiences teaching online classes over the summer.  These were classes for undergrads that had never before been taught online. The group presented information about the rationale for online courses, the technologies used, cost strategies, materials used, assessments, student responses, and more.  They shared not only what worked well, but also what they would change for next time.  The audience added questions and suggestions to the discussion including stressing the importance of discussion boards.
