Can auxiliary services be mission-critical? You bet they can. With tuition on the rise, Auxiliary Services departments at a variety of colleges and universities are proving that they can innovate and still save their parent institutions cash.

Commercials on television tend to enrage me and laugh tracks are guaranteed to give me a headache. Plus, where do people find the time to watch TV?

What does wildlife viewing have in common with online learning? Nothing at first thought; they seem to be unrelated, almost contradictory. That was my concern when Dr. Kelly Cain, a University of Wisconsin – River Falls (UWRF) professor known for innovation, approached me in 2004.

Among many themes, Margaret Price explores the theme of purpose in her Viewpoint. One purpose of ePortfolio is to reflect on change from a beginning to a later point in time. In a future Viewpoint, Margaret will return to the SpEl.Folio and we’ll see how her thinking and her project have evolved.

Until last week, it hadn’t "clicked" inside my head that the Library of Congress could or would make specific exemptions to copyright laws.

At a meeting at Arizona State University in Tempe, I nearly made a suggestion that seemed at first to be a really good one, but then like a really bad one. It’s rare that I actually manage to keep my mouth shut under such circumstances, and I am proud that I did. On the other hand, I’m going to share the idea with you here, so that you can see just how bad it was, or not, so the effort did not last.

You might think the idea of taking time to nap with so much to do is crazy. However, after living with this program for an extended period, I am going to argue that taking a nap is a great way to get more done. I even believe it is a great way to learn.

E-mail is not hacking it for me. I don’t know about you, but I am in touch with more people and information streams, and less able to manage my various communications, than ever before

Could there be any clearer evidence that the United States patent system is dysfunctional, than the patent awarded to Blackboard?

“How do you cope with a universe in which human scale thoughts are about as significant to the real course of events as the barking of dogs is to air traffic control?”

I’m finishing this on a flight from Detroit to downtown Washington, D.C. And I’m writing about "transparency" once again because I can’t seem to stop thinking about that concept lately. I’m reminded of it everywhere I turn.
10/16/2006
In Washington, D.C., debates continue on how to encourage students to seek careers in science, math, engineering, and technology (STEM). At the same time, No Child Left Behind (NCLB) drives the election agenda. I see this as a conundrum and question where we’ll find new scientists if the process is driven through NCLB.
10/11/2006
There are lots of things that “you can’t hide” anymore. Consumers have experienced this as many institutions, including colleges and universities, have leaked “personal data” in hundreds of reported instances.

Life in the more affluent regions of Southern California does not normally invite comparisons with the bleak existence one might experience in your average refugee camp.

Let’s look at the trends and how they will impact (and be affected by) current technologies, then let’s look ahead to the next generation of presentation and display, and what you will need to know to get there.

Personally, I’ve never attended a virtual conference or workshop that was satisfying. Useful, yes. Satisfying, no.

Basically, if your IT doesn’t work, you don’t have any business or learning continuity except for in the smallest and most specialized of situations.
9/26/2006
Bob Blakley’s reflections from the Digital ID World conference.
9/25/2006
Projector theft from classrooms is a sensitive subject with campus instructional technology professionals. Everybody knows it’s a problem, but nobody wants to talk much about it.

How many power cords are enough? I’m beginning to think that a typical working professional who needs to reliably use info tech at work, at home, and while traveling needs at least four power cords for their laptop.
9/18/2006
The proliferation of wide-aspect monitors has put new burdens on those who support and train end-users who make presentations in classrooms, lecture halls, and boardrooms.
