. well all . and um thank you to comment and welcome to the presentation on the Center for Innovation and Excellence in the lorry . on . somebody main element of hope you've all been hearing about the Center is housed within the University College . and the idea for the creation the Center is to bring together research activities of the five campuses in the university system . on the subject of e learning . in its many forms that includes online education but also mobile learning . role play media education . and he learning a is a broad term as it's defined by the center . some of the Examples wiki learning to include all of our distance education . that's enhanced by electronic technology and that includes video teleconference saying including interim video conferencing and interactive television of the kind of practice . by John just so and video production center which was the regional . on . distance education program here prior to the advent of online learning . oh but also web based training . and mobile learning and all forms of educational Media implementations text graphics video animation sound . and we try to be as broad as possible in our scope in defining the learning . that is good because different kinds of e learning practice on the different campuses of within the system including a lot of use of simulation software on other campuses in a way that it's not use here which is something I found through focus groups . then I'll discuss . the idea of the sadder is that . we're to take the role of thought leadership . on e learning and become the hub for a broad range of research activities . and ultimately also in the development and the design of tools so we envision down the line . we will have either Collaboration Smith or on some kind of contract partnership with programmers . as faculty members and students and staff members to find particular kinds of software that is either open source that we wanna work on or that he's been Be proprietary built by . that's tail wind as we get in the area of partnerships with corporations . of Ultimately the Center's Center goal is to establish findings on the learning as a distinct body of knowledge . and then to publish that research and to support that research throughout the campuses . so will be supporting . research Innovation and doing so through awards and some financial grants . initially there to be very modest . oh I'm sorry . the problem . so . world will catch another time . thank you for being here . um . so we're of the initially what we're going to be doing is using small seed money and identify faculty members who wanna work with students on particular research projects . on e learning that's going on in coursework and programs of study . and funding the students to do the research in partnership with faculty members . now to get bigger as we get better funded . we will be off running directly to faculty members on their project . what we're really . here I am Boston and on other campuses I was earlier today . in a other great presentation on the use of online discussions and I believe you're actually there all by any UMass Dartmouth faculty member who though devise a very small concise study of one particular freshman class and pointedly hello and talk to him about it yet at the end of the session I was asking him . does he teach . upper class men . and we Consider replicating the study and Mike bought in asking those questions were . this is where we could see just a little bit of money and get some research and get it published . and he didn't to work that terrain . and then ultimately what I'd like to do . and this is the wedding Center . there should be working is to find other research going on on other campuses . on discussion forum use . and bring them together is a body of knowledge a body of researchers . and that may be one of the Oberoi studies that we pursue over the long haul as an institution . and I see the Center has the whole of that kind of research on that piece . . on . so far the Center is very much in its infancy the goal of the Center's to work with all the campuses was your being one where it might be a little bit more challenging because of their somewhat less overlap with the other campuses but still they are made is so incredibly innovative things with e learning from which we can learn a great tail and my area of specialization is the use of synchronous conferencing tools web conferencing tools . that's where I'd kind of made my an inch in the morning realm . and while on the west campus does not use synchronous cops link to support courses percent . they send their in turns out in in the field and you synchronize copper thinking very innovative ways to hide their or our students back to the home campus when the students are out on on field work . and then to some tremendous things that have implications for office hours developing and sustaining cohorts in groups so they cost a lot even know if you look at it up in in the initial stage you say oh they're not they know they're there you have a very different mission . and they really don't have much overlap is no Collaboration . so that it that much data about the fact that this for campuses that have a real natural . SIM II relationship an argument in research . there really is a death . the can teaches a lot and that sometimes does come a Now Scott's of were trying to do this thing we don't normally do which seems like it . it's akin to what you do on a daily basis . through those relationships to excess . um again primary purpose promote encourage and sponsor the study and he learning in University . but also ultimately in corporate and public sectors . of this comes from the fact that the University's have a very strong commitment already online learning . and to the ongoing study of educational value and best practices and we want to extend that who wanna get the whole . . I think what I'm seeing him there . he is . for whatever reason I'll know why . my PowerPoint is loopy . so I am due on show you . this is outside of Slide mo . I do apologize for that I icon that problem again I'm kind of working on the fly with a version of the PowerPoint that was extended . one me . O day . it's loaded on it . hero support mechanisms that the center will be working with on . we're going to have intersection of all these different sectors Ultimately . we're going to Create theory based models on e learning design . we're going to develop process these products in methods for supporting her in the learning . and for supporting use ability accessibility where the primary areas of concern for all of the campuses in the area of e learning is how do we stay accessible . how do we apply a universal design principles . so when I began to talk about the focus groups that are conducted so far one of the sets of stakeholders that were invited into those groups have been the accessibility specialists on each of the campuses . and I envisioned that ultimately as we continue . um exploring with the campuses within the dividing down into those who are interested in mobile . those who are interested in synchronous comforting those who are interested in accessibility . and then that particular group . I think is going to have to do a lot of outreach to the rest of the group to make sure that we are consistently compliant with accessibility report . . now . said what I and you get this thing to spring up . all you can do existence all the sun Emily just cared about and nine Here the director of the and . and I didn't bring enough at all and it actually has a long long history . it's been discussed for years . it was an initially assumed to be a project that should be led by you . line . on . Ultimately UMass online submission has kind of change . and they become more of a licensing agent and a . of server farm . and that they have ceded back out to the campuses the role of integrating technologies locally and then . um . sharing that among the campuses . so it makes sense the campus house the kind of take charge of that on this new model . UMass Boston is the right place for it because we have such a strong instructional design program here . and we have had that for years . on one of our recent successes involves . on Sunday in the Rome News . that's the date men who is our new program director for instructional design . and that Saturday . with all of her formal occasion and her background . we retain the full time interim director of who and preceded her in the wall on . associate director to Judith Durham and remains with us so we and that that program is just getting stronger and stronger . and so . since instructional design is really at war own understanding best practices and the research behind the learning . UMass Boston seemed to be the right place for this . so in August of twenty eleven . on just before the impending arrival of a new Dean of University College . and through the will of the Provost and very very hard work on the part of the interim Dean of University College Dennis maxi . of . we have a watch of the center . . . oh great it's always important thousand organization is getting want to begin to do the of the history of the organization . so that we can understand where we're coming from . ten years from now . um I certainly don't expect a meal read out the natural down on this level that it's one of three now most put out by our Provost Winston Langley this one was put out on December three of two thousand and nine . and it announces the interim . directorship . apart Media interim Dean ship of Dennis maxi . over . then corporate continuing and distance education . in doubt . Winston rights . Dr Maxine her and and ABN educational computing . it is is a Pacific University and a PhD in curriculum and instruction from University of Texas at Austin . earlier in his career Docs Dr maxi was for Nader of the graduate program in instructional design UMass Boston . please starting to see this influx of focus at the highest levels within the former continuing education now University College program . so this is how these things are all coming to a head . . link forward to August seventeen of twenty eleven . just is . thank you Dennis maxi for this tremendous service let's drill down on our little that . text on that now all it did thousand and nine ten s Max he was appointed to serve as interim Dean of what was then the divisional Court for continuing distance education . under his leadership . the division and approval . as a degree granting college and became what is now known as University College . since then the colleges had its first degree programs . blahblahblah . and has received approval to establish the Center for Innovation and Excellence in e learning . . . link for work . he gets to talk about till the cell the O's appointment . including this language . below is a member of the Sloan consortium on line and landed Teaching oversight board and is the recipient of the two thousand and eight Excellence in eyeliner administration a war . please see this pattern . you doubt I'm the air and being go as a strong background in instructional design has actually led the program . and now you have a new Dean who comes in with morals from the Sloan Foundation for is working you learning . and you have the building of the instructional already strong instructional design program and the launch of a cent . . this is an indication to the reception where films sell the oh what's . meeting greeted by the institution . I . . hundred talk about what the center itself and the work that we've gotten and how it operates . throughout February and March . we worked with old people . don't the various campuses that UMass Online identified as thought leaders in the area of the e learning . and those people that we were with ourselves our own elements design team is very tight in to the . car parts . the other institutions including people like Jim Reilly down at UMass Dartmouth . who is the current stock commercial I worship older . and in that role has become the de facto current multi campus . um overseer of the learning initiatives . and our wonderful job . so . when we tell these focus groups . here are the things we won over . with three major lane year when can you can get into three major areas . that the CIT has cast . it operated on . fostering of supporting research on the Learning probably define the learning . publication of an electronic journal . all of locally your own research . and we spoke about the fact that the digital Commons scholar works Turtle publication system . here it UMass Boston . provides us the platform to publish that the journal . and we talked about the hosting of an annual conference . and a related speakers series stating that the exact direction of the each of these the bloggers to be determined by the common interests and the goals of the crop from across the campus . . do I learn from these . by consensus . the Larry thought leaders across these campuses concurred that share with you . of the CIEE journal . it's important . and it's can be important because it will both attract serious Mr ringer off for those who of responding to calls for papers but also it will help us in recruiting serious editorial board . of when one of the things we specifically put out there is is it important that this be a peer reviewed journal we get out more quickly . we can be of a little bit more inclusive . if we don't and the answer they came back is no peer review is the right way to go for something like that . um . they aren't in insists that the peer review process should not giving away of the ability to Publish descriptive studies . and the many concurrent that we should be setting space . aside from graduate student researchers well and that the standard for that might be someone different . know what will be peer review . . the result of focus groups determinations on how handle the annual conference and speaker series . there was real concern that the bossing campus not be the only place these events occur . but everybody agreed that by stringing the amounts and holding them in web and are format . we could get multi campus involvement no matter what campuses were being used in rotation for the multi campus about . other representatives from each campus suggested that the venue is suggested specific ten years on their own campuses . so they're really thinking about how this event could be structured and Howard work locally . and we got several suggestions about adding be sure to add . a poster session to the annual conference and perhaps even to speaker series . so as to dry in campus constituents who might not be ready to invest in full blown research projects . what would want to showcase some of the work that they're doing . . . this focus were really interesting and I don't think on all the campuses people of the I'm deeply associated with the University College on one program on so I don't think that that's what was going on I was build to many people I'd never met as the director of the Center for Innovation and Excellence in the wearing of drug in the immediate thought was the two tiny body Learning Muriel that's really just code for online learning . so . and I not what I do a simulation software what I do it accessibility were . why exactly did you invite me in this meeting . so there was a disbelief that we are really trying to look at the Learning probably . on one side over that some the definitions propose . including for your learning and included teaching and learning with social media networking . simulation software . open education . an open course where initiatives . Media production and distribution . there were representatives in the various focus groups from all of these constituents . . . focus groups like forms . members ohhh engagement with the new learning as they defined the summit people who have begun to get interesting . David Hart is the executive director of computer based instructional technology with the Center for knowledge the kitchen and Center for educational software development . at UMass Amherst . he disguised his work on computer based instructional technology and the development of the administrative and academic components of Idol . in that same meeting Brian White professor of biology from UMass Boston described using any is lecture courses . they Academic owls Software smear when I going to miss they turned up in the same place they never met . they never teaa . Marilyn Billings . who is the scholarly communication and special initiatives librarian at UMass Amherst describe her all work . with the open education initiative . which is broadening and . which is involved her in visiting UMass Boston . up to me when representatives from multiple campuses to discuss a project to create our line all alternatives to conventional textbook . then she noted that on this would simply be extending the longtime Library practice of creating Library guy . nope never taught little Library guide . created just for your course . but it's and it's wonderful . wonderful reference one for and were . what what Marilyn Billings it turns out is also at the helm . all of the scholar works . system . use free journals and other publications . got . UMass Amherst . and that's a really good thing because it turns out here it UMass Boston while we have the software . we've never really used . when we began talking about the e journal . we are all Library they said this is the most fully loaded ready to go . you just be the first one is and will rent policies in place . Luigi we went through three months order waiting for them to come up with policies and then decided . well it will go forward with the annual ultimate fall season here now . so it's been a very interesting process brought more than once since the focus group she intended . Marilyn Billings while on sabbatical has written to me said a lot . Alan housing going what can we do so there we got them behind . so that's a real asset . got a lot of experience with the publications are ready . really interesting persona Juliet through the bar got professor of biology UMass Lowell here's her the Learning story . she works on the climate change study . that involve students in thirteen different academic department UMass Lowell . in developing the presentations in education tools . and when I ask the group what kind of support would you like to see . the Center for Innovation and Excellence in e learning provide to in the ring work on your campus . we're are to describe . of media development and social media work being done Collaboratively . and since this is resulting in deeper connections with the surrounding communities who benefited by this work . and says whale to play or strengthens public Irish kitchen institutions . and we need to be publishing . and describing and studying this important outreach work that we're doing . so that's where I see . the Center . helping my project your team journal is a place to get this out and all their forms where you publish our way to get the word out about the community service we provide three wheeler . . these focus groups like China age by singer Kim and boil it down . we can't do everything at once . what are the areas of the learning . you wanna see your Center . focus on that first . semi we can do three four maybe five different . studies study areas to begin with . and isn't the areas they came out . simulation software again as far as I can tell UMass Boston we are consumer of that . but not a developer of that yet . we have partners within the system who are developers on it . interesting going on . um . there was a lot of interest in studying blended course delivery . in fact in some ways more than Online Course delivery . a lot of interest in open court where an open education initiatives within hearing all is come on about the kind of money that our . brothers and sisters . well heeled brothers and sisters on the other side of Boston are putting in to open course where we gotta figure out if we honor roll now what our role is and why were in that game if we get into that day . me and social media . were deemed extremely important for the kind of project the barber Rooney was talking about another for other reasons . um accessibility in universal design . we're all on a mystery to many many people and of importance to those same people in other words all these people identifying the key learning activities they were . on Involved and were saying we need more access to information about universal design . we need to know how we're going to address it as more and more students with special needs come into our Academy . I had the one student who I had this dude new and we tried to do this many many the stories came out through these focus groups . the last area . it's Learning Analytics which has . some of the very same goals that the old school computer IT instruction had but the methods and the means . having involved . algorithm to Kali . that was not clear why . below that leader . I say algorithm the claim that blogger is likely . . . I'll . a . this really . can't double demand . for this hour . the alert through focus groups . this just takes one day . of . along the group who met with me on February is not intended that by responding that he was in can be available to arrive barely minutes in a meeting when they were committed to be somewhere else hard and fast like departmental meetings there's both to run at the same time . and one contributed a portly throughout the meeting by cellphone while wanting a suitcase through import on the way to her sabbatical overseas are you going . welcome aboard . and most importantly . the people who attended the focus groups by in large . the early focus groups body Large recruited their colleagues by word of knowledge . to come to subsequent . focus sessions . so I think we can say safely . there really is interest out there . . and I Did and the stinkin this in the one focus group session I was talking about where UMass Boston is Brian White was speaking about using the simulation software I will . it file choruses . you learn that in that same Session Dave heart . who directs the UMass Amherst development center that produces owl was in attendance . and they started in the middle of this is a telephone conference call to discuss . what it was about fall that Brian White which operated differently and they began when designing the software in the middle of our nation . until a cop is Isles . I said sorry Al we should probably take a soft line . but I just thought it was very funny . this guy David Hart has been designing and building the software for about a decade . Brian White has been using it . for more than half a decade they haven't talked . so yet we made Center to get these people together was funny that it was also wonderfully affirming . on . of of the need for this . now . I mentioned . we conducted focus groups with the SA leaders throughout February and March . where we on since that when a crawl . when Clay end . on a three Center launch event . and we hosted site . for the and the cars learning initiative Learning Analytics focus session . by way which we began assessing the potential for . Priscilla who were going twenty Analytics throughout the UMass system . . be a good time to stop and say ok . what is this thing Learning Analytics maybe for so new it makes perfect sense . eight weeks ago I could of told you from Adam what it's all about . so let me tell you all will know what I think I've learnt so far . Learning Analytics involves mining big data sets on student learning using the algorithms developed by Google . another search engine companies are of course tracking online behavior . in order to sell products to ups . the ideas where to turn that around one a deployed no same . algorithms to figure out how our students the wording and instead of trying to figure out how to market to our students . we're trying to figure out how to teach . the concept here is that . the notions of learning style . all find a visual learner or mind on auditory learner . I'm really really really gross . approximation . and that . there were you need to the kinder were very need to worry about is me name eLearning just remain as in the middle is me and that jostle and eight Google believes it can find out the me you can sell to . we can turn those algorithms around and find out . draw me who is chasing can posts that were trying to teach . four provide learning opportunities for . Learning Alex bars methodology is from bold . business intelligence . which is the work of art College of Management . and Academic Analytics which is the work of our institutional research when they're trying to find out how we get to our alumni more successfully and keep them connected . how do we recruit from high schools in the western part of the state all of those . all of those Academic Analytics but the methods are the methods of Learning Analytics is well . Learning Analytics has as its purpose improving teaching and learning . through pattern . and addressing Teaching . to any individual . based on that learners behaviors . which we know better like a lightning being big big big data sets . on the Learn errors . Crewe are similar to learn or acts similar to Jason and category X and Y and Z and all of these different criteria . when we get the big data sets . learning management systems . content information systems . student information system . all of this data is passing through the Healey are looking tools that be . every Academy is tight . when the big issues is Jack . often we don't get the day . it may be that when we put stuff in the blackboard and our students to collect . Blackboard is to Getting today either . because it's costly for them the warehouse data and we haven't said that they will pay to have You warehouse or more probably will pay you the warehouse anything if you're not warehousing the big data we need to work on . so that's . these are the kinds of things that have come out . um . and as I note the end cause learning initiative was held up on April eleven and twelve . initially a little bit more about that . for anybody in this room . of prior such issue with UMass Boston . you can get to all of the recordings of to day's worth of experts talking about Learning Analytics . Anytime you want . and for the general public . ninety days after it will twelve . all of that becomes public . anyway so if you wanna work with colleagues that the institutions outside the UMass system . all in this boutique in Learning analyst all of this material becomes public information . after . of ninety days from people twelve . it's absolutely magnificent stuff . and I do believe that the center will continue to of posts these and the cars learning initiative forms which cover a variety of topics solve . if you're a faculty or staff member here in you think the Center should be focusing on that . look at their sessions and find out the ones you think we should sponsor find out . and then tell us which we should be contacting and will try to run the software . . . a Christian detritus is one of our instructional lot of designer instructional technologist . share a little bit of the way these connections are working . up one of the Center's at the edge a cause focus sessions . um was . Burton . his last name . and her and talked about a Rios community college system . that is done a tremendous a mama worked with Learning Analytics . and Christian wrote to him afterwards . thanks for the engaging talk . could you please share your predictive model or job description . and this network model . during her and talk . somebody said well you to talking about a predictive model or . that's up to kick you'll roll . yes it is said to my institution we we have hire a predictive model . this a while . ok so that you need a predictive model or to do Learning Elektra guess what is the job description look like can you can you provide . and he did . and it right away in those resources that are available to the public after ninety days from April to twelve but toss immediately . . and not surprisingly bar and was happy right back . thanks Brett for participating find the general job description for predictive model or and it's now up on them on the website . these are the kinds of partnerships that the Center is gonna be getting involved in when you have projects in e learning . they need specialists that are readily at hand a . we want to help broker are the kinds of contacts you liked leading the . . well one day three we held our want you to do I alone she'll on campus . and a focus the that was variability learners this notion that the . categories of visual learner and blah blah blah and blah blah blah gross approximation . and what that means for Learning Analytics . and we had a speaker and several panelists . who presented both . specific . Learning Analytics projects then engaged in . and in the case the keynote speaker the promise that . UMass Boston is very rightly . the organization to get into this game because the Bing data sets that everybody needs . to understand the learners through big data . are the diverse learners . throughout the UMass system that a light shade . which is well positioned to do these Learning Analytics and Harvard which is well positioned to do these Learning analyst does not have the population on which the algorithms make any sense there's not enough diversity their maintain our population . so we are in the driver's seat . so am very very College an argument for what's at stake . and why our data is going to be the day to whether we get in the game or not . . cells . three men were printed with our Chancellor who as I mentioned this . the chief architect of dishonor . all were . new Dean of University College was a huge proponent of it . and then from the Center for applied special technology which is really an accessibility universal design franchise . and from the Harvard graduate school of education . our keynote address was given by cob drawings on the subject of variability . eLearning analysts why UMass University's Moss own the big data and that panel discussion on the future of Learning Analytics UMass . . . skip one . Kelis . in the room . today . rose is perception of Learning Analytics is in Las it was dull hand in hand when instructional design design Any Analytics inform one another . you can have one without the other . one of the chief problems he sees with the current Learning analysts project elsewhere is the designer's either got involved too late . ornery on and off . and by the way through the Enter cause learning initiative focus session on twenty an elected to cover this later but I'll say it now . one of the other things we learned is don't start Learning Analytics without getting your institutional research board people involved . on the ground floor and without getting your institutional research . for the University . Involved immediately . and in our case . we also got the College of Management Involved immediately because that's the group that has the business intelligence experience which is really get the application the same algorithms for slightly different purposes . somewhere between Go rolls . she of . targeting a market share and are targeting learning outcomes . um . Matthew Harris is a quiz kid who studied at Boston University and a sense opened his own Learning Analytics operation color College minor and after working in the U . to provide them with a toll . to study . the outcomes of their students in the job market post graduation . through three Learning analyst . one of them at goes for Learning Analytics in Massachusetts is west or Polytechnic Institute . and one of the chieftains there is me laugh when you can't borrow . I'm . mission SA locker . it is now associated with the I want to go through all of his associations with the very story . he described himself as a certain serial entrepreneur . Please now a deeply connected with our venture development center . here it UMass Boston who I think is going to be a very important partner to the CIP . I think eventually when we're big enough . accomplished enough we will also be an important partner to them . now . missed opportunities for what seemed initially to be missed opportunities . as we were putting together the tail for them a three watch . and one only relates to this . cautionary tale . cold like many of the Center's that the Eli focus session on Learning Analytics which is get your institutional research board and your institutional advancement institutional research arm Involved immediately . I did and indeed invite of members of those organizations your UMass Boston on the panel that they were in will make it . however she makes Rawlins who is the UMass Boston research compliance manager . Did actually attend the session introduce yourself . and in email thereafter expressed interest in learning how this whiz kid Matthew Harrison College London icon had when he was in the you can old . the institutional research border Provost will Learning Analytics working given a . at the same time . on a learned right after the name three of them which is one week ago today . Matthew Harrison made connections with the . venture development center while he was here and has an appointment later this month to work with . the entrepreneur in residence at that Center . Daniel Phillips . so . Matthew wrote me one day and said I mean account again your fellow Scottish the plant idea at this time on the same day she meets her wrote me a set of light that I can that guy Matthew has a twin the other and they'll be together the afternoon . this is the kind of connections . the Center is able to make . we have now somebody . um . able to spend his time . seen connection snaking can that the connections all of those things we all want to deal are all capable of doing . what he gets in the way of our jobs are jobs get nowhere in there . so what you start thinking of the Center as that organization to which you can offload some in your brain ideas to do some of the legwork some the trench work . because that's like inquiry report . solve her out Bob . conclusions . I think or if still really uncoordinated . throughout the system . my co creating new design and development tools . instructional models . by exploring best practices . we're really seeking collaboration with faculty but also with staff members and also with students . that's really key . um I wanna and discover explore Learning pedagogy and three this focus . we want sustain the commitment by the five campuses them in UMass Boston to provide the best possible teaching and learning that we can't . the same things you're all out there trying to give . . what we . we faculty staff members and students who are willing to engage with each rather too with the Center with our car parks throughout the UMass system task . in begin answer . the pressing educational questions of our time that involve new uses of technology . so that's what we're about . no . you heard me areas of focus I can go back Slide the during the mobile learning and Learning Analytics in . oh accessibility . are there other areas of e learning . that you think are press . lecture that we can . and we could swap one of those out as the first area of concern but also what should our next dinner Next banks there is of concern to . let me let me go back to the slightest . I'm not . not quite sure I can . remember all the things that those wonderful focus groups . came up with them let's get back to whine . yes . simulation software . the one course development . when course where . yes . and social media . it's usability in universal design which really . I really should be a subset of everything else and saw the arch problem with that last and the most recently adopted but it's always the the the first of . major push that were making and Learning intellect . it only happens . Katie Jo right . it's . I own . I yes I with our new job it . that means the big through our . armed . things I think . we don't do very well . this . you start with what earshot what's what's the pedagogical goal you how . and . assuming you might . you might not depending on your teaching context the system you might wanna would opt in e learning technology . it would be wonderful to have amounted said . here are the learning technologies . and our correspondents two . individuals thought leaders on the various campuses who are pursuing an . best ways to reach them and they've agreed to be reached right out of there so a database . um is another publication in addition to the e journal that we think is can be really really important and trunk our correspondent handle on not quite sure how it would work . of . but like I think it's been literally after DNA database for so you could sort of Clary and say . pedagogical goal is and then you get a list of people engaged in addressing that . role and the learning strategies or and trapped in some cases killing any learning strategies and irrational for showing the human strategies were not appropriate . anything else come to mind . would be an agenda new one percent . can you know with now or later condition . ok so research on the Sydney learning in your teaching . that you would want for sale . ideally with stillness of yours and perhaps in conjunction with faculty staff students on other campuses doing similar work . that's . that's what we most want and need . from the people who will engage without . we're certainly happy and you come along for a ride whenever we're looking at and a new technology . um and you think it . it might be worth following . but you don't have an immediate pursuit of that great . what . we also want to be looking in your own teaching . and in your department . and when your colleagues . opportunities for us for the help of the research as I say initially twenty will be limited and we think that the right way to see the fawning artists can be defined study researchers who will be able to advance the agenda of faculty who have a research agenda they would pursue what they you know . they need out in our can and that they don't have the time with their teaching schedule . on . in order to pursue it . so a little the this is not one . tough . yes . I . I . . but . she . . the or . Island . . I . I . the sand . I . . slinky red is my wish . I was walking around twenty minutes before presenting . sort of gal in my last box . and thinking about nerd that did discussion of why UMass Boston is the right place and you hurt my Discussion marched on instructional design program . and then later into focus the knowledge you got here and Deans and then you've got a team led this focus is in their careers . Eliza come together . well I was thinking if that's that . we have here are the cause . in large part because of our instructional design program but also because all of our history coming hours of video production . Alice online . well not as distance education prior to the advent of online education . we added eight called your own . building models . building design models rather than taking them off the shell . note you were an institution where instructional design was not a primary focus . and you didn't have a lot in video . of back and resources to do point to point Heidi and interim video conferencing where that's appropriate to do home grown on demonstration videos though those kinds of things . and you had a revenue know and as we all do in our online programs . you would as I think and most of the of the campuses have . look to something to replicate some successful model . when an institution of an analogous eyes with a similar faculty . and I really think that that's what our sister institutions by a large have gone . and in that world . you don't want to depart from the wild because you to build the muscle . it's like that software you you build your own database system . that's one thing you . you license as customizing it to be really expensive and keeping it up . after upgrades in patches can be even more expensive so it's a mindset . and begin to share resources that are somewhat different . Nano last those things are all going on every campus they I mean it just depends on whether you hound . a set of instructional technology support folks who turn and say oh well decade your heart to say innovator . the primate around here . we tend to say . in a day . you know I need . and I'm and I don't denigrate day . it's a matter of where you come from . historically the new or adoption of technology . on the end . the . Plume . right . yes . yes I really . you . oh it our way of our on the Center's . the . . here you know . some will wonder is one of . he may get you in . all . oh course yes . when melted to the interview . thank you . . .
