laptop?

Malcolm Brown, ELI: (13:09) @mo phone, tablet, laptop

Mo: (13:10) thanks

Sandra C.: (13:10) It would be interesting to be on the Horizon Report panel.

Bryan Alexander: (13:11) It is a rich experience, Sandra.

Malcolm Brown, ELI: (13:11) typically work on the next year's report takes place in the early fall in the

previous year

Sandra C.: (13:11) Bryan: I've been following the Horizon Report for several years now. I enjoy reading it

each year.

Uncommon Thinking for the Common Good™  educause.edu

Malcolm Brown, ELI: (13:12) Is anyone else surprised by the results of poll #1? I would have thought that

the tech section would have been first

Bryan Alexander: (13:12) Glad to hear it, Hilary.The library edition was fun.

Sandra C.: (13:12) Did Veronica say that new people can get on the panel?

Bryan Alexander: (13:12) I don't know if she did, Sandra, but yes.

Malcolm Brown, ELI: (13:12) @sandra yes that is true.Veronica posted links above where you can get

more info

Catherine_Downey GGC: (13:13) I think she said 1/3 new each year.

Eden Dahlstrom (EDUCAUSE): (13:13) @Mo - any Internet-capable device, but we know that 86% owned

a smartphone in 2014 (up from 76% in 2013), 47% owned a tablet (up from 31% in 2013), and 90% own

a laptop (up from 89% in 2013). More info on the ECAR student study research hub:

http://www.educause.edu/ecar/about-ecar/technology-research-academic-community  

Simone (University of Toronto Mississauga): (13:14) We also have students who use Internet enabled

gaming devices (e.g., PSP).Our network staff have indicated that there are students who have up to 4

devices.

Malcolm Brown, ELI: (13:15) @simone Not surprised!

Sandra C.: (13:16) I can't find the URL about how to become a new member of the panel

Veronica Diaz, EDUCAUSE/ELI: (13:17) here is the link to the panel:

http://horizon.wiki.nmc.org/Panel+of+Experts  

Malcolm Brown, ELI: (13:18) @ Sandra here's the nomination form

Hilary Reynolds: (13:20) Do you find people are wary of OER? If it's open can it be good syndrome.

Malcolm Brown, ELI: (13:21) I agree, that does haunt OER

Linda Beith: (13:21) OER is also more work than just selecting a textbook

Audrey Watters: (13:22) Finding good OER more challenging than responding to the door-to-door

textbook marketers :)

Malcolm Brown, ELI: (13:22) although there seems to be a trend in which the tradtiional publishers are

moving away from texbooks

Uncommon Thinking for the Common Good™  educause.edu

Linda Beith: (13:22) It is Audrey however instructors have much more ability to customize their materials

Veronica Diaz, EDUCAUSE/ELI: (13:23) http://horizon.wiki.nmc.org/Challenges  

Hilary Reynolds: (13:24) The beauty of OER is that texts can be kept far more current than textbooks.

guest 6: (13:24) OER is great for tight oursw timelines

guest 6: (13:24) "course"

Linda Beith: (13:25) OER is also instantly available to distance learners who have had to wait many

weeks for a textbook delivery in the past

Bryan Alexander: (13:25) Definitely.It's very hard to search for OER.

Bryan Alexander: (13:25) I think finding fine OER is a great library role.

Sandra C.: (13:26) My college, Middlesex Community College, in CT, I co-chaired the Tech Showcase

conference where our keynote was about OER by Dr. James McDonald. He wrote his own Physics

textbook and the presentation is up and available via link at http://mxcc.edu/techshowcase2014/  

Bryan Alexander: (13:26) Good points about OER and flexibility, Hilary andguest6.

Malcolm Brown, ELI: (13:26) at your campus, do you see your faculty tending to assemble course

content in smaller units, hence less willing to have students invest in massive textbooks?

Linda Beith: (13:26) Bryan, Librarians have put together some really rich LibGuides that have vetted OER

materials and help guide their instructors to the best resources

Hilary Reynolds: (13:27) I like to differentiate between digital literacy and digital fluency. The difference

between being able to use a computer and the ability to create using a computer.

Bryan Alexander: (13:27) That's what I'm talking about, Linda.Any examples on your campus?

Linda Beith: (13:27) Malcolm, at our university it really is mixed. Some faculty stay with the expensive

textbooks and others go to mostly OER materials

Simone (University of Toronto Mississauga): (13:27) One of my colleagues has gathered some resources

together in a LIbGuide - http://guides.library.utoronto.ca/content.php?pid=230553&sid=1906943  

Dr Zeiti: (13:27) I got disconnected for the past 15 minutes due to bad connectivity so could I review the

bits I missed later?

Bryan Alexander: (13:27) Let's not forget some faculty make $$ from their textbooks!

Malcolm Brown, ELI: (13:28) @ dr zeitiyes this session is being recording for later viewing

Uncommon Thinking for the Common Good™  educause.edu

Linda Beith: (13:28) Not yet but we are working on providing a Faculty Learning Community to kick off

an OER initiative for next year. Also I am joining into the Northeast OER Consortium that should help

Hilary Reynolds: (13:28) @Bryan Very true.

Bryan Alexander: (13:29) Sandra, is this his presentation: http://mxcc.edu/wp-

content/uploads/2014/01/textbook2014.pdf ?

Frank Fucile@UBC: (13:29) great open textbook initiative in my province of BC -

http://open.bccampus.ca/  

Holly Morris / Educause: (13:29) @Simone -- thanks for the link

Bryan Alexander: (13:29) UBC is always an innovator, Frank!

Dr Zeiti: (13:29) Thanks Malcolm

Sandra C.: (13:30) @Bryan: Yes, he is from the University of Hartford. He did his Ph. D at UConn Storrs

Kate Adams, GPN: (13:30) complex thinking seems to be one of those things that's easier to learn than

to teach

Simone (University of Toronto Mississauga): (13:30) @Holly - you're welcome!

Kate Adams, GPN: (13:31) But complex thinking is one of those things that is required for everyone in

their daily life!

Sandra C.: (13:32) Also, this year, we have our 2015 Technology Showcase on Friday, 4/10/15, and ourkeynote speaker is Ann DeMarle speaking about Gamification at

http://www.mxcc.edu/techshowcase2015  

Bob Clougherty: (13:32) Because too much of our intelectual history has been focused on complicated

rather than complex

John Farquhar - WWU: (13:32) @Bryan Due to automation of the simpler.

Audrey Watters: (13:32) I do think that the standardized testing focus on K-12 does not prepare

students for complex thinking

Bob Clougherty: (13:32) actually it fits all disciplines

Bonita Bray (UBC): (13:32) (cindy) Dig. Lit and personalized learning not possible without complex

thinking.

Jim J - MiraCosta: (13:32) Common Core may help undo some of the NCLB-damage to "complex

thinking" but it will take a while

Uncommon Thinking for the Common Good™  educause.edu

Holly Morris / Educause: (13:32) Complex thinking is the most relevant thing in an education

Rod Murray: (13:32) Let's require 'coding' to teach complex learning.

Bob Clougherty: (13:32) I will spare you my rant on theology and complexity

C Mann: (13:33) complex thinking comes from weaving several big ideas toegther in one unit and build

on the ideas by creating capstone project that tests o

Bob Clougherty: (13:33) our structures in HE are designed for complicated vs complex--our curricular

structures reflect it

Stan Kruse, Colorado State U: (13:34) It's difficult to motivate faculty to redesign courses to address

complex thinking if there is no reward in tenure and promotion

Sandra C.: (13:34) BYOD is challenging. Especially on the Android side. There are dozens of OS and

dozens of manufacturers so doing anything for support or training for these devices is very complex.

Especially when compared to an iPhone or iPad with one iOS and one manufacturer.

Anne Wood: (13:34) I still feel that it is difficult to get all Faculty on board in understanding the current

challeges and that they play the most important role in deciding how to approach these issues.

William Kershner: (13:34) How do we match students' metacognition processes with teacher's

metacognition processes?

Audrey Watters: (13:34) Do academic disciplines stand in the way of complex thinking?

C Mann: (13:34) what about metacognition -- teahcing that and building on that

Bob Clougherty: (13:35) @William Kershner: Absolutely agree!

Carine: (13:35) +1 Audrey re: standardized testing at the K-12 level

Hilary Reynolds: (13:35) @Sandra C - yes, but browsers tend to equalize the varying platforms.

Bonita Bray (UBC): (13:35) (Cindy) does technology get in the way of complex thinking? Or at least the

tools we use in HE

Anne Wood: (13:35) transforming institutional culture is key...

Hilary Reynolds: (13:36) Technology undirected by appropriate pedagogies get in the way, I think.

Gary Bender: (13:36) Audrey - yes they do - learning is not compartmentalized and neither should

teaching be

Kate Adams, GPN: (13:36) Aurdrey: IMO sometimes the way classes are taught (one topic, then tested

from one angle) impede complext thinking because it forces students to focus on only one thing at a

time, rather than all things, all the time.However, learning what to focus on is part of learning (and is

learned

Carie UIdaho: (13:36) Makerspaces need to happen sooner rather than later, could address many

challenges

Kate Adams, GPN: (13:37) from life AND the classroom)

John Farquhar - WWU: (13:37) Syncing across devices can be an issue.

Malcolm Brown, ELI: (13:37) are your students using very mobile devices more heavily for course work?

Linda Beith: (13:38) Networks and infrastructure are really taking a hit from BYOD

Bryan Alexander: (13:38) Great point about makerspaces, Carie.Is your institution offering any?

Amarjit Kaur: (13:38) adaptive learning solutions have been provided by publishers for example Mylab

John Farquhar - WWU: (13:38) Our latest survey shows that tablet ownership is up to 50%

Veronica Diaz, EDUCAUSE/ELI: (13:39) Key to working w emerging tech is to know your faculty and

students

Bryan Alexander: (13:39) Very true, Amarjit.Some publishers are really racing ahead.

Stan Kruse, Colorado State U: (13:39) @Kate Adams - agree totally. and that brings up the whole notion

of addressing assessment of student learning

Scott Krajewski - Augsburg College: (13:39) watch out for accessibility with publisher tools -- we've seen

many not screenreader compatable

Bryan Alexander: (13:39) John Farquhar, is the majority of that table use iPads?

Veronica Diaz, EDUCAUSE/ELI: (13:39) @John, great that you're surveying your students

Bryan Alexander: (13:39) Ahahahaha!

John Farquhar - WWU: (13:39) @Bryan Yes, mostly iPads but also some Surfaces are "surfacing"

Carol Kellett, University of Hawaii at Manoa: (13:40) our students still prefer textbooks versus ebooks

Bryan Alexander: (13:40) I admit to being temped by the sufrace.

Dr Zeiti: (13:40) The students at our institution are slowly using mobile devices and all sorts of devices to

accelerate learning

Malcolm Brown, ELI: (13:40) are you seeing ways of using wearable tech directly in courses?

Uncommon Thinking for the Common Good™  educause.edu

Linda Beith: (13:41) many of our faculty are banning all mobile devices from classes because of the

distractability that they see. They feel strongly that students cannot pay attention or engage when they

are monitoring their devices

Jim Mello - Franciscan University: (13:41) do your faculty also ban laptops from their faculty meetings?:)

Dr Zeiti: (13:41) Linda: its different here, the students are motivated to BYOD and use this to enhance

their learning

Hilary Reynolds: (13:41) I think the DRM on many ebooks is far too restrictive.

Linda Beith: (13:41) LOL Jim - no they would prefer not to pay attention at faculty meetings :)

Don Barth: (13:42) All incoming students get dell tablets

Veronica Diaz, EDUCAUSE/ELI: (13:42) interesting that more and more the technologies on this list can't

be deployed successfully on a solo approach, they take a team

Karen Keiller: (13:42) Have we abandoned gamification to the entertainment industry? What about Jane

McGonigal: Gaming can make a better world?

Don Barth: (13:42) here at SIU

William Kershner: (13:42) I think it will be important that the various technologies continue to become

"background" i.e. so easy to use and commonplace so that they actually enhance rather than distract

from the T&L process

Denyse.UnivNorthDakota: (13:42) @LBeith - that's why (old) classrooom buildings didn't have windows!

Afraid students would be distracted.

Kate Borowske: (13:42) Maybe this is the point in time where we're at the landing of the steep staircase

we've been climbing and need to take a moment and see the big picture. Time to ask, not what can this

technology do, but... how do we need to reimagine learning/teaching and which tool/s can help us with

that?Asking the bigger questions.

Hilary Reynolds: (13:42) A survey we did showed our students preferred laptops to tablets.

Malcolm Brown, ELI: (13:42) gee does anyone NOT have BYOD?

Holly Morris / Educause: (13:43) There is a very interesting BMA model plan from this year that centers

on data feeds from social networking informing student/faculty interactions check the models out at

http://www.educause.edu/educause-institute/breakthrough-models-academy/breakthrough-models-

academy-2014-team-projects  

Anne Wood: (13:43) Not everyone wants to learn through games...

guest 6: (13:43) Flexible Learning initiative has been around at UBC since

2013http://flexible.learning.ubc.ca/  

Dr Zeiti: (13:43) The mindset is slowly changing and gamification has potential as most students and

young children are motivated and driven by games

Linda Beith: (13:43) Tablets can't access all digital resources yet the way laptops can

Sandra C.: (13:44) @Linda that is true. I can't use my iPad to edit wikis.

Veronica Diaz, EDUCAUSE/ELI: (13:44) poll results are consistent with the horizons in the report

Mo: (13:44) We currently do not have an artisitc makers space, but I recently attended a conference and

UNCS presented a session on music makerspace and we made music whistles from a 3d printer, and it

was just overall fun.I think these types of spaces do bring more students into the library.

guest 6: (13:44) I agree with yr sttement in the report "flipped classroom model is part of a

largerpedagogical movement that overlaps with blendedlearning, inquiry-based learning, and other

instructionalapproaches..." there is so much overlapping with all these pedagogies

Barbara Taylor CSU San Marcos: (13:44) Professors ban devices on our campus more than they are

allowed.

Jeff Overholtzer, W&L: (13:44) Surprised that more than a quarter using adaptive learning - can we get

some examples of what you're doing?

Bryan Alexander: (13:45) Great point about tablets' limitation, Linda.

Linda Beith: (13:45) Here is where learning analytics will help us. If we can see that devices and more

transformative strategies this will help adoption

guest 6: (13:45) It's hard to focus/concentrate on one in isolation of the others

Malcolm Brown, ELI: (13:45) In the UK didn;t they ban smart watches because they can be used for

cheating?

John Farquhar - WWU: (13:45) Wearables are going to be problematic for more traditional ways of

conducting tests.

Brian A. Roberts @ Central Michigan University: (13:45) I have MANY faclt that ban mobile devices in the

classroom. The do not understand that they can be used for good and not just evil (distraction)

Bob Clougherty: (13:45) maybe that should tell them something about how they are teaching :-)

Sam (UNC Charlotte): (13:45) What kind of makerspacesare poeple having at universities?

Uncommon Thinking for the Common Good™  educause.edu

Jim J - MiraCosta: (13:45) Worth perhaps considering the interrelation between the tech, challenges,

and trends. Obviously they are very interdependent but there are a lot of chicken-and-egg problems

there...

Brian A. Roberts @ Central Michigan University: (13:46) My argument is often times that if students are

spending lots of time on devices and STILL PASSING, maybe the problem isn't with the devices.

John Farquhar - WWU: (13:46) @Bryan Hilarious

guest 6: (13:46) we have something called Hackfest in our department

Audrey Watters: (13:46) This was the concern with calculators initially- concerns thatstudents wouldn't

learn but would rely on the machines

Julia Teahen/Baker Online: (13:46) For BYOD...you need to integrate the use of the devices into teaching

and learning. Teaching plans need to be revised to keep the students busy learning with the devices andtasks within the class.

Linda Beith: (13:46) Jeff, we are using the Pearson My Labs for more personalized learning paths

Brian A. Roberts @ Central Michigan University: (13:46) Today's mobile devices = birds outside, cute

coeds in the room, and day dreaming of the past.

guest 6: (13:46) ha!

Dr Zeiti: (13:47) Yes I agree with Brian's comments, we cant blame the devices as the tools are aids to

learning_

Mo: (13:47) @Brian -- *giggling*

Eden Dahlstrom (EDUCAUSE): (13:47) The 2014 ECAR faculty survey says 52% of faculty ban

smartphones in class, but 54% would like more training on incorporating mobile tech into thier classes.

This is promising.

Linda Beith: (13:48) Students are forcing change - which is often the way higher ed changes!

Malcolm Brown, ELI: (13:48) @linda how is that going, with Pearson MyLab?

Bob Clougherty: (13:48) Audrey: don't forget that Socrates thought that the act of writing would destroystudents' memories

Linda Beith: (13:48) It is going pretty well so far - especially My Math and My Stats labs

Robin Ashford, George Fox University: (13:48) Great piece on Medium last week looking at higher ed

policies to ban devices in classroom https://medium.com/synapse/your-nostalgia-isn-t-helping-me-

learn-141bd0939153

Uncommon Thinking for the Common Good™  educause.edu

Mo: (13:48) You almost have to babysit students in class if you allow tablets etc...most students suffer

from ADD and continually need their brain stimulated.

Jeff Overholtzer, W&L: (13:49) Thanks for example Linda

Theresa (RPI): (13:49) thank you ;)

Eden Dahlstrom (EDUCAUSE): (13:49) ...and the 2014 ECAR Student Survey says 69% of students who

own a smartphone have used it in class (for a class related purpose) regardless if they are banned.

Students hack BYOD. :)

Bryan Alexander: (13:50) Sam (UNC Charlotte), I've seen some libraries turning rooms into makerspaces.

Hilary Reynolds: (13:50) Is it my connection or is audio breaking up?

William Kershner: (13:50) Today's traditional student is not as much "digital-savvy" as much as they are

"digital-dependent!"

John Farquhar - WWU: (13:50) Significant Obstacle: It's not always clear what impact (even improved

learning) will occur from these emerging tech.

Barbara Taylor CSU San Marcos: (13:50) I would like to see examples of libraries creating makerspaces

Brian A. Roberts @ Central Michigan University: (13:50) I agreed @John F.

Linda Beith: (13:51) Our common reading this year was The Circle - a really scary look at privacy and

social networking

Sam (UNC Charlotte): (13:51) @Bryan: I could see libraries leading the way on makerspaces. Thanks.

Brian A. Roberts @ Central Michigan University: (13:51) Hear hear, William Kershner.

Carine: (13:51) AMEN! Re standardized tests!

Dr Zeiti: (13:51) the digital world is the way forward and even my 9month old son is able to "swipe" on

my IPAD as he constantly imitates what I'm doing :)

Linda Beith: (13:51) We also have international students who don't have the same backgrounds and

familiarity with technology

Kate Adams, GPN: (13:52) Literacy rates are low, never mind digital literacy.

Bonita Bray (UBC): (13:52) (Cindy) agreed, Audrey and Bryan! Creating (not just consuming) with tech

requires complex thinking and decision making. Current drive towards fast and efficient creates

roadblocks.

guest 3: (13:52) I agree!Most students aren’t digital natives and aren’t critical thinkers.Using tech and

understanding tech are two different things.

Bryan Alexander: (13:52) I'm getting to that international point, Linda.

Mo: (13:53) Hunt Library Makerspace: http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/spaces/hunt-library-makerspace  

Hilary Reynolds: (13:53) Linda, that is a problem we have here, but with our own students, many of

whom come from impoverished backgrounds.

Bryan Alexander: (13:53) Dr. Zeiti, are our campuses ready for that child?

guest 6: (13:54) I think adoption of any othse things are very contextual - i.e. depends on the instituition,

funding, resources dedicated to any of the tools

Sam (UNC Charlotte): (13:54) @Linda: The Circle - sort of a Facebook/Google mashup.

Bonita Bray (UBC): (13:55) (Cindy) Bryan (and Dr. Zeiti) yes I think our campuses are ready for imitation.

We've been doing a good job with this for 100 years.

Julia Teahen/Baker Online: (13:56) We have found a significant obstacle in implementing emerging

technologies, at least at a large scale, is accreditation standards and federal regulations.

Sam (UNC Charlotte): (13:57) In our new active laerning classroom, students rated the round tables and

writable walls as most important "technology" in the room.

Julia Teahen/Baker Online: (13:57) @Sam...I love that! Appropriate technology for the task!

Jim J - MiraCosta: (13:57) Chairs with wheels too ...

Mo: (13:57) lol

Dr Zeiti: (13:58) Bryan: I dont know but we cant turn back if that is the future which we will have to face

Linda Beith: (13:58) Sam, we added a bunch of thin clients and large Samsung interactive smart boards

to our Library. What do our students note as the best resource? The regular whiteboards on wheels

Mickey Marsee: (13:58) Sam-- we experienced the same response-- our one active-learning classroom is

now on a waiting list for faculty and committee use! All because of round tables and writable walls.

Jim J - MiraCosta: (13:59) Round tables and writable walls are a gateway drug to online discussions and

collaboration :-)

Hilary Reynolds: (13:59) I find that many faculty are of the opinion that they were taught in an

instructivist way during K12 and it is therefore unnecessary to teach in any other way.

Dr Zeiti: (13:59) Im not famlilar with makerspaces

Bryan Alexander: (13:59) Dr. Zeiti, check out MAKE magazine.

Bryan Alexander: (13:59) Then Googe like mad.

Sam (UNC Charlotte): (13:59) @Linda: yes, we're adding more mobile white boards

Bryan Alexander: (13:59) Jim J - well said.:)

Dr Zeiti: (13:59) thanks Bryan

Bryan Alexander: (14:00) Ouch, Hilary.

Mo: (14:00) @Dr. Zeiti, I posted a link earlier to the Hunt Library Makerspace.Very innovative in its way

of thinking.

Mickey Marsee: (14:00) Jim-- so true and we are trying to turn many faculty that direction since we

cannot afford more classrooms. Great point.

Dr Zeiti: (14:00) noted Mo; willreview it later.

Linda Beith: (14:00) Hilary, our faculty are similar. However the question to ask is whether the students

are learning and applying what they are learning at an optimal level. Unfortunately the answer many

times is no. These students are not learning in the same way as even 10 years ago

Sam (UNC Charlotte): (14:01) @Mickey - so the low tech is more high touch (thinking of Marshall

McLuhan)?

Dr Zeiti: (14:01) what about Padlet? Are schoolsfrom your parts of the world using this to stimulateclasroom discussion:?

Hilary Reynolds: (14:01) @Linda - I agree wholeheartedly and as a result the students are ill served.

Kelly Roe, SUNY: (14:02) thank you

Bryan Alexander: (14:02) Find me here: http://bryanalexander.org/

Veronica!
