ETC677 Unit on Vista Build Server

E-Learning center at NAU notified me that units on Vista Build server will be migrated to new server at the end of January 2011.  If you used Vista Build to deliver your units for ETC677, be sure to backup a copy of your unit and/or download all your unit materials etc. After the migration, your unit should be accessible again but they may look different since it will be migrated to Blackboard Learning. If you do not use Vista Build to deliver your unit or no activity in your Vista Build unit shell, your unit will NOT be migrated to the new server. If you have any questions, please contact me.

Common Feedback for L5 Multi-Dimensional Discussions

L5 Multi-Dimensional Discussion is a very important activity because it provides us opportunity to understand the elements of distributed learning designs (Content; Integrated Web 2.0 Technologies,; ONLE/PLE instructional strategies; & Related evaluations); and to design effective distributed learning instructions. 

Below is common suggestions/information for you to enhance you final units.

·         Many classmates had excellent ONLE/PLE instruction designs, particularly in “Interactive” dimensions.  Consider to learn from them and feel free to incorporate them into your own final units.

·         Remember! Our units should integrate “Interactive” dimensions rather than Expository or Active.

·         When more Diigo postings are share by our classmates, they could be harder to follow.  You can Visit ETC647 Group’s Diigo site to view a chronological format to obtain better ides of the Diigo Discussions (http://groups.diigo.com/group/etc647)

·         It is highly suggested that you subscribe RSS feeds for ETC647 Diigo Group to help you to organize our classmates’ postings.

Subject:

Flagstaff Campus May 2011 Commencement

The May 2011 commencement season has been presented with a number of challenges due to the renovation of the Walkup Skydome and the many other construction projects underway in May. After examining many different alternatives and conducting many stakeholder conversations, it was decided that the best option was to rent and construct a high-quality temporary facility. 

Structure: The commencement structure will be located in parking lot P62B. P62 will be reserved during commencement for VIP and handicap parking. Lot P62B will be closed on May 2 to accommodate construction. All other set-up work will begin on May 9.

Ceremony Event Details: We will have a five commencement ceremonies as is shown below. Departments, schools and colleges will be able to conduct receptions. Ceremony scripts and timing will be nearly the same as always.

Ticketing Details: Another change unique to May is the need for guest tickets. Although the temporary structure is large—about the size of a football field in plan—it is not big enough to accommodate an unlimited number of guests. As such, each graduating student is limited to six ticketed guests. Tickets will be available from NAU Central Ticketing between 8 a.m. April 1 and 4 p.m. April 30, 2011. Graduating Flagstaff students will pick up tickets in person. Extended Campuses and Yuma students will order by phone, and tickets will be mailed. Unclaimed tickets will be available, two at a time, for those needing additional tickets between May 2 and May 12. Students will be encouraged to pick up or order only the number of tickets they will actually need. 

Graduation Application Due Date:  Because tickets will be given to only those students listed in the commencement bulletin, it will be very important that the graduation application deadlines and bulletin production schedules are followed by all colleges and units. Please make an extra effort to get the word out to potential spring graduates about submitting their graduation paperwork no later than November 15, 2010. Students not listed in the commencement bulletin—even if they are eligible to graduate and attend commencement—will not be able to pick up guest tickets and their families will not be able to attend graduation.   

Ticket details and other information will be sent in a letter to each graduating student early in the spring semester. Information will also be posted at nau.edu/graduation.

Please spread the word about the spring graduation application deadline. When the call comes out in early spring, please consider volunteering to staff or serve as a marshal at one or more ceremonies. We are confident that this plan will result in a set of commencement events that we can all be proud of. If we work together, we can ensure that each graduate will have a high-quality commencement event that they each deserve.   

 

 

Participate 1 training session

Don’t forget! Each student must attend at least one training session provided by other groups.
