| | | | | 1. An Open Invitation to Innovation: Lone Star College-University Park | via Campus Technology
From its founding in 2012 with an "Invitation 2 Innovate" (i2i), to the premier this week of a new conference on open innovation, Lone Star College-University Park has innovation in its DNA. It's the newest of seven community colleges that make up Lone Star College, and it has a clearly articulated plan to be a leader in innovation. | | Why This Matters: In this Q&A, Campus Technology digs into the details of fostering a culture of innovation with Lone Star College-University Park's chief strategist for innovation and research. | | | | 2. Lecture Capture 2.0: The Evolution of Video in Higher Ed | via EdTech Digest
While it’s impossible that the Greek philosopher Heraclitus had campus technology in mind when he postulated that “the only thing that is constant is change,” this phrase could nevertheless be the mantra of instructional technology departments. | | Why This Matters: As the technology landscape continues to shift and IT teams are tasked with doing more despite having limited resources, change may be one of the only constants. Lecture capture on campus today demands more than simply capturing the lecture — deeper engagement and accessibility is required, and new tools are helping schools keep pace. | | | | 3. iPads Did Not Revolutionize Campus Teaching (But a Few Colleges Give Every Student One) | via EdSurge
When Apple released its first iPad seven years ago, the company thought one area it would revolutionize was education. But today the device’s presence in classrooms is spotty. | | Why This Matters: While iPads may not have revolutionized edtech as we know it, some schools are embracing them for large-scale initiatives. When students and faculty are all using the same device, it can level the playing field. |

| | | | My Lazy Manifesto On This Post-Truth Moment: Technologies for Collaborative Exploration
"My contention is that early visions of the web and digital technology (Bush, Engelbart, Kay, Berners-Lee, Cunningham) developed collaborative, exploratory approaches (Wiki, Memex, Dynabook, hypertext) as their dominant modes, but that later approaches (Facebook, Twitter) chose modes that promoted propagation and tribalism. That’s fine as it goes — these things are important. But as a dominant mode adversarialism is, unsurprisingly, polarizing us, and killing truth in the process." —Mike Caulfield, Hapgood |
