1. Lee Rainie, Director of Pew Internet & American Life Project.
10:30-11:30
Lee will be joining us virtually to talk about his new book (with Barry
Wellman), Networked: The New Social Operating System. This book gives an
interesting glimpse into how we function as networked individuals in all spheres
of our lives. And the Pew Internet & American Life Project is truly an
amazing effort to survey the American people about their technology habits/use.
If you've never checked it out, you should.
He will be joining the EME6476 Internet Inquiry class specifically, but all
are welcome. Please let Dr. Dennen know if you plan to attend. If you plan to attend online, email Dr. Dennen for the info (limited to
20).

Topic: Lessons Learned from Ten Years’ Design Research on
One of the essential goals in
higher education is to help students to be able to deal with real-world
problems, which are characterized as complex, dynamic, and uncertain, and which
require students’ scientific knowledge, reflective decisions, and professional
commitments. In order to find ways to enhance college classroom learning for
real-world problem solving, a series of educational design research projects on
case-based e-learning has been conducted over the last ten years through
interdisciplinary collaborations with leading educators in the areas of human
medicine, veterinary medicine, engineering, and teacher education (http://elearning.coe.uga.edu). Sharing candid stories about
failures and successes from the studies, this presentation will portray how an
initial theoretical idea has evolved, struggled, and been refined through
small-scale studies, and finally has been expanded to gain the potential to make
a significant impact on larger-scale curriculum changes. Further discussion on
the role of educational technology researchers in balancing theory and practice
will be facilitated.
