Instructional Technology Conference 2008
Title: The Southeastern Tennessee Digital Consortium: Is this the Era of Shared Instruction?
Name: Dr. Ronald D. Paige
Audience Level: all
Audience: General
Length: 50-60 minutes
Abstract:
We sit at the cusp of a decision-making period where
colleges and high schools alike are evaluating the cost
efficiencies and learning effectiveness of multi-way digital
content delivery. Do we sit by as regional educational institutions
go their technologically independent ways, or agree to share
resources through common technologies? Spearheading just such an
initiative, the presenter will share his experiences by moderating
a panel-style discussion as though participants were creating their
own regional digital consortium.
Description:
We sit at the cusp of a decision-making period where
colleges and high schools alike are carefully evaluating the cost
efficiencies and learning effectiveness of multi-way audio-video
digital content delivery. Do we sit by and watch regional
educational institutions go their technologically independent ways,
or do we group together and agree to utilize and even share common
technologies? What are the possible outcomes if multiple colleges
and their respective service area high schools agree to work
together to provide as-needed, on-demand, and just-in-time
instruction to high school and college students alike using a
common virtual instructional environment? How should we access the
respective resources, needs, strengths, and weakness of each
contributing institution? What are the ramifications for
"business as usual"; at consortium schools often used to
competing rather than collaborating? What are the ramifications for
"business as usual"; among faculty not used to competing
on the basis of outcome assessment? Spearheading just such an
initiative, the presenter will share his experiences by moderating
a panel-style discussion as though participants were creating their
own consortium.
