Martha:MCC – new student orientation in angel with Erin Maney, collaboration with student services and instructional technologies to provide one space online for new student resources. Currently specific to new to the college aka freshman and transfer students. Contents currently support the material that is presented during the face to face on campus new student orientation.

Maureen: Orange librarians took new faculty training for Angel in order to embed librarians into Angel online courses and some web-optional courses as well.  Successful pilot.  Recommends librarians embeded in courses online and face to face.

Pam: upstate medical – librarian faculty built tutorials for undergrad and grad-level research in Nursing courses.  The online learning staff put links in each nursing course in blackboard at the request of the faculty. We are looking into the use of Alignments in Bb for aligning content and assessments with program objectives.  If you are interested in this conceptually, please see Pam Youngs-Maher or George Dale.

Keith: Purchase College – eportfolio shared services project with SUNY Delhi. We’ve connected their Moodle system to our Mahara system, so that students and faculty can single sign-on through their Moodle to access Mahara ePortfolios on our campus.  Single click transfer of learning artifacts from the LMS into ePortfolios for creating portfolios.  hosting eportfolios for other campuses, including Empire State.  Presentations planned for CIT and STC.  Let us know if your campus would like to try out ePortfolios.  (Also, I’d second the comment from Maureen at Orange about embedding librarians in the online courses, we do that with our online and face to face courses as well.)

Ellen Marie: ESC  FACT2 eportfolio task group   – several subgroups set up to look at different aspects of ePortfolio use: At SUNY (what is the current status of ePortfolio use across the system and what needs to be done to promote use of ePortfolios to support student learning).
