A Wireless Media Course: Coevolution and Adaptation

Tuesday, January 27, 2004
10:40 a.m. - 11:40 a.m. CONSES26

Bob Kalwinsky, Associate Professor, Middle Tennessee State University

NLII Key Theme - Mobile Learning

At Middle Tennessee State University, we integrated a WiFi wireless network component into our Survey of New Media class to introduce relevant theoretical concepts to the students, facilitate new learning methods, and foster skills in convergent forms of media production and delivery. Our emphasis was on using new techniques for media production and delivery, with location-based experiments and intercampus collaboration a substantive part of the effort. Special attention was paid to ensure nontraditional leadership skills would coevolve and flourish alongside traditional ones, enabling consensus building and identity, by incorporating aspects of bottom-up development theory. The presentation describes the general process and focuses on the surprising outcomes related to creativity, media content formation, social interactions, collaboration, and institutional dynamics that evolved during the process.

Collaborative Strategies for the Wireless Classroom

Michael Burke, Technologies Integration Specialist, The University of Tennessee

Julie K. Little, Associate Director, ELI, EDUCAUSE

Jerry Riehl, Interim Manager- Instruction Design, Delivery, Evaluation, The University of Tennessee

NLII Key Theme - Mobile Learning

While many instructional technologies may facilitate effective teaching and learning, wireless networks provide unique opportunities for employing collaborative learning methods and activities. Working in small groups with wireless laptops, participants in this interactive session will develop learner-centered activities focused on the tasks, processes, and assessment of collaborative student work.
