Awarded Grant: $4,706 Principal Investigator: Amy Dohm, Clinton CC Students in two English Composition, ENG 101, courses will create a community partnership with local non-profit organizations and design a Prezi presentation and promotional brochure for the organization. Students will develop the documents using a professional subscription to Prezi and Microsoft Word. Prezi is a cloud-based, non-linear program accessible beyond the classroom. The submission of comments on the process and rough drafts of the projects will begin on a Web site. Throughout the semester the student groups will be communicating with the partners and sharing drafts of the brochure. Students will also send their community partners a student-designed rubric asking them to evaluate the working relationship and final products. Effectively doing/demonstrating all stages of the process means that course materials, technologies, concepts, activities are utilized in effective ways, improving student engagement and learning across the disciplines.

Awarded Grant: $5,143 Principal Investigator: Jessica Clemons, SUNY ESF The project will be an interactive and creative group activity for students in our ESF:200 information literacy classes. Currently there is a paper-based question sheet with prompts like, “Where is the Quiet Study Room located?” In lieu of this requirement, we will group students and have them explore the physical library. Using the iPod touches, students will take photos and videos of the spaces and resources in the library. Students will share what they learned with the class immediately after completing the exercise. Students learn how to use technology to better utilize the library resources as well as how to get information face to face. Near the end of the course students will use the iPopd to evaluate database apps when available. These activities demonstrate to students the responsive nature of the library staff and resources. Co-PI’s and Key Partners: Stephen P. Weiter, Director, College Libraries, SUNY ESF Reports and Resources: A presentation to help students use iPods This is the instruction sheet that the groups of students use. It has a variety of questions and students choose what they want to share with the class. The iPods are engraved with numbers so each group is responsible for reporting on at least 1 specific question This is the evaluation form that students filled out. No names were required and comments were highly encouraged. These comments help me to regularly update and improve the exercises Project website Project outcomes report Publications: ESF Communications Creative Commons License:

Awarded Grant: $50,000 Principal Investigator: J Tomás Henriques, Buffalo State College LOOP aims to expand a new model of an electronic music Lab designed to support innovative instruction in music technology. The model calls for students to fully integrate the various disciplines they study, allowing them to compose and produce music and to create software tools for their own use as electronic musicians. Students learn and operate audio software and hardware, skillfully perform electronic music within a Digital Music Ensemble and engage in community outreach.
