Christine Sundt, Library
What is copyright? Why should I care? What basics of the "rules of the road" do I need to know to function effectively as an instructor? Christine Sundt will review the basics of copyright law as they affect faculty, staff, and students at the University of Oregon. She will look at the stresses on copyright law that new technology has created, and at online resources to help you better understand the issues.
See also the session "Copyright: UO Issues and Answers" at 10am.
An online copy of the PowerPoint slides for this presentation is available on line.

Educational technology inherently assumes its users have strong literacy skills -- from word processing to e-mail composing to web publishing, communicating by the written word is crucial. Freshman composition courses are changing to help students develop their cyberliteracy. Our panel will discuss these changes, focussing on the new goals of teaching writing in a computer classroom and the implications of this practice for academic learning and research.
11am, Reed Seminar Room (Knight 235)
Holly Arrow, Psychology [moderator]
Ron Mitchell, Political Science
Michael Sweet, Teaching Effectiveness Program
Several courses have experimented with group conferencing using the "Motet" conferencing system as an alternative to e-mail for class discussion and homework submission. Join two faculty members who have been heavy and successful users of Motet in a discussion of how and why one might effectively use Motet at UO.
11am, IMC Studio A
Mark Johnston, Apple Computer
Mark Johnston of Apple Computer will demonstrate Filemaker Pro and Claris Home Page to publish a database on the World Wide Web. He will show how a faculty member might use the web to collect information from her students and enter it into a database, then display information based on it.
This session will also be broadcast on the Internet for reception anywhere on campus. See <http://cc.uoregon.edu/iptv/> for further information.
12pm, Electronic Classroom (Knight 144)
Mike Stiller, Adaptive Technology Lab
Web pages can be designed to either include or exclude people with visual disabilities -- and as a university we have both a legal and moral obligatiion to provide reasonable accomodations to include rather than exclude! This session looks at how students with visual impairments access the web, and how to create course web pages that are accessible to everyone.
12pm, Reed Seminar Room (Knight 235)
Sharon Yoder, Education
Becky Dorsey, Geology
Maintaining grade lists efficiently may not be the most novel use of computer technology, but it's one of the most important to every faculty member. This session will look at ways in which using a computerized grade book can save you time. Presenters will compare custom programs such as Grade Machine (Yoder) with general purpose spreadsheets such as Miscrosoft Excel (Dorsey). They will demonstrate such typical tasks as importing the Registrar's Banner data to create a grade list, keeping track of student grades, viewing individual and statistical summaries of class performance, and generating reports.
This session should be particularly interesting to faculty who currently compute grades "by hand" using a calculator and find it time consuming or error prone.
1pm-3pm, Electronic Classroom (Knight 144)
Kathy Heerema, University Computing and Library
It's easy to create dynamic lectures or presentations with Microsoft PowerPoint. This hands-on introduction will help you learn how to use PowerPoint 97 to organize your lecture, quickly turn a simple outline into a colorful slide show or a set of visually effective overheads, create course handouts and notes, and add graphics and charts to make your point. Note: almost all of the topics are applicable to other versions of PowerPoint for both Windows and Macintosh. No prior experience is required.
Hands-on tutorial!

Jane Maitland-Gholson, Arts & Administration
Jane Maitland-Gholson developed a technique she calls "video portrayal" for use in a medium-sized AAA class (75-100 students). Students put together a video that presents footage from class that "portrays" their experience of the class.
1pm, IMC Studio A
Mark Johnston, Apple Computer
What's happening at Apple? How does it affect the UO?
This session will also be broadcast on the Internet for reception anywhere on campus. See <http://cc.uoregon.edu/iptv/> for further information.

Jennifer Freyd, Psychology
Electronic mail and e-mail mailing lists such as listservs are useful tools for a variety of instructional tasks ranging from online office hours to facilitating group projects. Professor Freyd is a long-time and successful user of listservs in fostering collaborative learning. She reports that student comfort with this technology has grown remarkably in the last 2 years. Join her and share tips on how to make this technology work for you.
3pm=5pm, IMC Studio A
