Boulder Management Group, LLC

Warren Arbogast is known as a creative visionary. An artist, writer, and communications expert, his career started at University of Virginia's Darden Graduate School of Business, where he developed the Visual Communications program and taught in the first-year MBA program. Since then, Arbogast has consulted over 200 colleges and universities throughout the world. In a Chronicle of Higher Education article, Arbogast's clients described him as a technology therapist and translator, and a Dutch higher education group dubbed him the "Dr. Phil for IT use in higher education," which he eventually took as a compliment. It's often been said that the value Arbogast brings to audiences and clients is helping them see the world more clearly and more creatively. His talks are about far more than education and technology—they're about dreaming, doing, and developing a passion for change.

Summary

Your host, Steve Worona, will be joined by Warren Arbogast and David Greenfield, and the topic will be "Good Digital Citizenship: Examining Student Peer-to-Peer Activity at Illinois State University."

Illinois State University has embarked on a comparative study of what works and what doesn't regarding peer-to-peer file sharing, media, and copyright on campus. After receiving almost 500 Digital Millennium Copyright Act complaints in the 2004–2005 academic year, the campus decided to explore the P2P issue in-depth and put in place a multifaceted plan to address it, working from the basis that the issues are education, ethics, and legal access rather than technology. The project has been strengthened by direct interaction with associations such as the Recording Industry Association of America and the Motion Picture Association of America, along with vendors. This seminar will share the project's history, explore its six tenets, and provide some early data results.
