Session 1A: Pecha Kucha: Cloud-based tools for educators (Update of SIDLIT 2011 presentation) Using the Pecha Kucha approach (20 slides shown for 20 seconds each) this rapid fire session showcases cloud-based tools that have application in the teaching/learning environment. Examples include a presentation on Bloom's Taxonomy and corresponding Web 2.0 technologies such as Symbaloo (Wapelhorst), three tools (TubeChop, Quietube, and Google Search Stories) for use with YouTube (Carver), presentations using Prezi (Ward), MyBrainShark (Rorabaugh) and augmented reality using TagWhat (Bacon). Additionally, the session will conclude with time for Q&A and a quick summary of several additional cloud-based tools. |

Session 1B: Practical Strategies for Incorporating Simple Game Components in Online Courses. (Reprise of SIDLIT 2011 presentation.) After attending a conference a few years ago, I was inspired to make my online classes more engaging and incorporate game components into my courses. The result was a simple ‘game’ that includes secret messages, random clues, video scenarios, widgets, sharing secret clues on wikis, MySpace, flash simulations and more. I expected increased student satisfaction with the course materials, but was shocked at the other positive effects of including the game. Student average grades improved by over 13% (C average to a B average) and the average time spent online increased up to 6.4 hours per student. This session will discuss other evidence for the effectiveness of this game as well as practical strategies for other faculty to incorporate game components in their courses. |

Session 2B: E-textbooks: Lessons learned from a pilot in 3 fully online courses The world of e-textbooks changes almost daily. EPUB3, DRM, page fidelity, redemption codes, mobile readers, LMS integration, accessibility, and more. Where to start? Ottawa University launched a pilot this fall involving 3 online courses and 60 students who had no option other than an e-textbook. We'll describe the model we're using and the lessons we've learned so far. |

| K-State Spectacular Tech Classrooms Tour Tour of various types of technology classrooms to include a basic, common, studio and expanded technology rooms.

Six years in the making UM 105 underwent a complete 5-month overhaul to include updated HVAC, lighting, seating and technology. The distance from student to faculty was cut in half.
