In this talk he will discuss the \n changing nature of the digital divide\, the elusive promise of digital \n literacy\, and the quest to build a better digital world. \n http://www.educause.edu/events/ELI12/FS09 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar:241428:field_item_dates:0:247 SUMMARY:Signals at Purdue: Impacting Learning Through Analytic Technology DTSTAMP:20120524T101054Z DTSTART:20120215T140000Z DTEND:20120215T150000Z URL;VALUE=URI:http://www.educause.edu/node/241428 LOCATION:Meeting Room 615A/B DESCRIPTION:In 2007\, Purdue University piloted an early-warning system called Signals\, a \n system that combines real-time data on course performance with data from \n Blackboard\, providing an accurate view of student performance at any point in \n time.

Nary a day goes by at \n work without encountering the challenge of change. Your boss just read about \n a new product or service and wants you to introduce it to your organization. \n No problem\, right? But when you try to move forward with your project\, you \n encounter negativity\, resistance\, and even sabotage. Whether you are dealing \n with transforming an organization or changing an individual`s behavior\, \n succeeding at change is tough. This session will ``crack the code`` and \n provide you with tools and strategies for dealing effectively with change at \n work. http://www.educause.edu/events/NC12/SEM02A END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar:243597:field_item_dates:0:399 SUMMARY:Refreshment Break for Preconference Seminar Participants DTSTAMP:20120524T101054Z DTSTART:20120312T140000Z DTEND:20120312T143000Z URL;VALUE=URI:http://www.educause.edu/node/243597 LOCATION:Outside Room 552 DESCRIPTION:http://www.educause.edu/events/NC12/BRK01 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar:243598:field_item_dates:0:400 SUMMARY:Lunch for Preconference Seminar Participants DTSTAMP:20120524T101054Z DTSTART:20120312T160000Z DTEND:20120312T170000Z URL;VALUE=URI:http://www.educause.edu/node/243598 LOCATION:Rotunda DESCRIPTION:http://www.educause.edu/events/NC12/BRK02 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar:242318:field_item_dates:0:401 SUMMARY:SEM01Z - Senior Leadership Forum PLEASE NOTE: Separate registration and fee \n are required to attend this seminar. - Sponsored by Specops Software DTSTAMP:20120524T101054Z DTSTART:20120312T170000Z DTEND:20120312T210000Z URL;VALUE=URI:http://www.educause.edu/node/242318 LOCATION:Room 551 DESCRIPTION:Don`t miss the opportunity to engage in a lively exchange of insights and \n solutions with your senior IT and library leader colleagues from the \n Northeast.

As with any new area of practice\, a variety of issues will \n emerge as field progresses. For analytics\, it`s the ethics of data collection \n and the actions of learning analytics. Some of the ethical issues are \n evident\, including following federal regulations (such as FERPA)\; other \n issues are much more subtle\, such as the impact of learning analytics and any \n obligation that an institution may inherit based on having actionable \n intelligence. This session will provide a landscape of the ethical and \n privacy issues related to learning analytics. \n http://www.educause.edu/events/ELI124/GS07 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar:249032:field_item_dates:0:692 SUMMARY:Follow-Up Q&A with Speaker DTSTAMP:20120524T101054Z DTSTART:20120411T211000Z DTEND:20120411T212000Z URL;VALUE=URI:http://www.educause.edu/node/249032 DESCRIPTION:Spend one-on-one time with the speaker. \n http://www.educause.edu/events/ELI124/BRK09 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar:249033:field_item_dates:0:693 SUMMARY:Focus Session Closing DTSTAMP:20120524T101054Z DTSTART:20120411T212000Z DTEND:20120411T213000Z URL;VALUE=URI:http://www.educause.edu/node/249033 DESCRIPTION:http://www.educause.edu/events/ELI124/BRK10 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar:249034:field_item_dates:0:694 SUMMARY:Focus Session Welcome DTSTAMP:20120524T101054Z DTSTART:20120412T160000Z DTEND:20120412T161000Z URL;VALUE=URI:http://www.educause.edu/node/249034 DESCRIPTION:http://www.educause.edu/events/ELI124/BRK11 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar:249051:field_item_dates:0:695 SUMMARY:Starting from Scratch - Building Your Learner Analytic Capacity DTSTAMP:20120524T101054Z DTSTART:20120412T161000Z DTEND:20120412T164500Z URL;VALUE=URI:http://www.educause.edu/node/249051 DESCRIPTION:The promise of Big Data to increase effectiveness and success in higher \n education continues to generate ``buzz`` at many institutions where leaders \n are looking for ways to gain ground quickly. Building your know-how and \n capacity for learner analytics can be characterized as more of an \n organizational change process than the deployment of a new technology. \n Learner analytics are distinct from other Big Data sets\, but require \n coordination and collaboration from the same players. Vernon Smith\, from \n MyCollege Foundation\, will share approaches to implementing enterprise-wide \n learner analytics efforts including potential barriers and strategies to take \n a leadership role at your institution. In this session\, participants will 1) \n Explore business and technical processes involved in building learner \n analytics\, 2) Identify learner analytic potential at their organization\, and \n 3) Review strategies to create learner analytic capacity. \n http://www.educause.edu/events/ELI124/GS08 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar:249035:field_item_dates:0:696 SUMMARY:Follow-Up Q&A with Speaker DTSTAMP:20120524T101054Z DTSTART:20120412T164500Z DTEND:20120412T165500Z URL;VALUE=URI:http://www.educause.edu/node/249035 DESCRIPTION:Spend one-on-one time with the speaker. \n http://www.educause.edu/events/ELI124/BRK12 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:calendar:249052:field_item_dates:0:697 SUMMARY:Open Academic Analytics Initiative: Leveraging Openness to Improve Learner \n Success DTSTAMP:20120524T101054Z DTSTART:20120412T165500Z DTEND:20120412T171000Z URL;VALUE=URI:http://www.educause.edu/node/249052 DESCRIPTION:This session will provide an overview of the Open Academic Analytics \n Initiative (OAAI)\, funded under Wave I of the EDUCAUSE Next Generation \n Learning Challenges program\, and highlight the development of a new strategy\, \n referred to as an Online Academic Support Environment (OASE)\, for student \n interventions.
