CITR Session—LEAP: A Shared Vocabulary for Transforming Student Academics, given by Dr. Doyle Carter, Director ASU QEP

Topic: Launched in 2005, Liberal Education and America’s Promise (LEAP) is a national initiative that champions the importance of a twenty-first-century liberal education—for individual students and for a nation dependent on economic creativity and democratic vitality. Through LEAP, hundreds of campuses and several state systems are making far-reaching educational changes to help all their students—whatever their chosen field of study—achieve a set of essential learning outcomes fostered through liberal education.  (AAC&U)

Since both the revised Texas Core Curriculum and the Quality Enhancement Plan are impacted by LEAP-related concepts and best practices, it is important that faculty and others become familiar with LEAP.  Therefore, the purpose of this workshop is to begin a conversation about LEAP and its effects on learning at ASU.

Session:  Lunch & Learn—Blackboard Collaborate Demonstration, led by Ms. Rebecca Muzquiz

Topic: Blackboard Collaborate is a world-class, real-time training, demonstration and collaboration environment that is powerful, flexible, and easy to use. The environment enables the delivery of live, online learning, training, coaching, mentoring, and meeting. Effectiveness is increased by engaging participants with the ability to talk over the Internet (with full, 2-way audio) or using integrated telephony, exchange text messages, display live video, share whiteboards, multimedia files, and applications–all in one intuitive, graphical interface. Whether the environment is hosted by Collaborate or installed on your server, it is easy to use, and customizable.

Unlike the internet, Collaborate is built specifically for live, multimedia collaboration. Our unique Collaborative Communications Framework (CCF) automatically ensures that everything is in the right place at the right time. Whether you have a dial-up modem or a high-speed LAN, you get the same superior quality, high performance, and dependability–with no lag  time or garbled communication. So you can focus on content, not technology.

Please feel free to bring your lunch!
