This is the NITLE Professional Development News that went out today. It focuses on my programs for the coming two weeks. They are going to be be keeping me busy. But they are interesting programs, so they should be fun.
Dear Colleagues,
As campuses continue to respond to the challenges of globalization as well as on-going economic restraints, I wanted to take a moment to call your attention to three upcoming NITLE programs relevant to both situations.
Using media elements with an international perspective to introduce complex issues such as research ethics can offer a new dimension to the lab-based science class, stimulating and enriching discussion. Faculty members in the natural and social sciences who want to integrate an international perspective into lab-based curricula in this way are encouraged to sign up for “Science and International Perspectives.” Presenters for this event hail from the sciences: Mark Stewart, professor and chair of the department of psychology, and Stas Stavrianeas, professor of exercise science, both of Willamette University. They will address the impact of this pedagogical approach on the participation rates of science students in study abroad programs–generally lower than those of students in other disciplines. This event may also appeal to faculty in other disciplines who want to engage students in comparative, interdisciplinary study of the media and directors of study abroad programs. It will take place on Thursday, November 5, from 4 – 5:30 p.m. Eastern.
Approaching international issues from a different perspective, faculty and staff who teach and support courses in foreign languages, the social sciences, and humanities can take advantage of “Global Knowledge through Gaming.”
This is an event for those interested in experimenting with new technologies. It will provide a brief survey of online simulations, role play, and games for teaching in the focal areas and then offer an in-depth case study of using Second Life for teaching languages. Chris Boyland, Director of the Language Learning Center, and Giuliana Perco, Lecturer in Italian, both of Bryn Mawr College, will present; a discussion will follow. This event is appropriate for faculty and staff new to this type of pedagogy and wish to explore the possibilities, and also for those with experiences to share. It will take place on Thursday, November 12, from 4 – 5:30 p.m. Eastern.
