Copyright in the New Millennium
LIVE TELECONFERENCE
Media Services, Studio A
Laura N. (Lolly) Gasaway (Director of the Law Library and Prof. of Law,
U. North Carolina), Georgia Harper (U. of Texas System, Office of General
Counsel), Sharon A. Hogan (University Librarian, U. Illinois at Chicago),
Peter A. Jaszi (Professor of Law, Washington College of Law, American
U.), Frederick W. Weingarten (Director, Office for Information Technology
Policy, ALA)
During 1998, the U.S. Congress passed two amendments to the copyright
act which together have very large implications for librarians and educators.
With a distinguished panel of experts, this teleconference will describe
the new laws, discuss the implications for libraries and educational institutions
as they attempt to comply with the laws, and discuss strategies for the
community as it and confronts pending database legislation. (Attendees
should contact JQ Johnson prior to the session to obtain a packet of background
readings.)

Introduction to Powerpoint: hands on tutorial

Kathy Heerema (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 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.

Multimedia on your Course Web Site
Knight 235 (Reed Seminar Room)
Jill Holman (Science Library)
New technology is making it easier than ever to extend your course web
site. What can you add beyond syllabus and web links? Scan in materials—images,
slides. Make your handouts into PDF files easily printed from the web.
Add interactive touches such as mouseovers. Add movie clips, animations,
models of concepts. And my personal favorite: 360 degree panoramas that
show your lab or field site. This session will survey some of the possibilities,
and give you pointers on where to go to learn more about how to implement
them.

Supporting Faculty with Computing
Media Services, Studio D
John Shin (Wired Humanities Project); Cathleen Leue (SSIL), Jeff Magoto
(Yamada), Yoon Kim (FITT Center).
The Wired Humanities Project, Yamada Language Center, Social Science
Instructional Lab, and Faculty Instructional Technology Training Center
have all launched or are about to launch new services to help you take
advantage of computer resources on campus. While each unit has a different
priority and a set of legal "constituencies," they share in the mission
of promoting use of digital technology in research and teaching at UO.
Their mission, in other words, is to help YOU! Chat with representatives
from these groups about their nifty new toys, their friendly and competent
staff, and what they can do for you!

Sandra Gladney (Continuation Center), Leslie Opp-Beckman (American English
Institute), Carleton Oakes (Arts&Administration), Cathleen Leue (SSIL)
A panel discussion with several UO faculty who have presented "true"
distance ed courses at UO—courses where none of the students were actually
on campus, and where all course delivery took place using EdNet or network.

Portable Computing
Knight 235 (Reed Seminar Room)
Gerd Kortuem (CIS), Dale Smith (Network Services).
What promise does the near future hold for mobile computing on campus?
When will you be able to use your laptop computer on the steps of Deady
Hall and get a high speed network connection by radio? When will palmtops
or wearable computers start to replace calculators in Physics 101?

Listservs and Flames
Media Services, Studio D
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 3 years, but that using a listserv requires care, not least
in dealing with flame wars and inappropriate postings. Join her and share
tips on how to make this technology work for you.

Two Easy Tools for "Deepening" Your Course Web-site
Knight 235 (Reed Seminar Room)
Michael Sweet (Teaching Effectiveness)
Many teachers have gotten comfortable putting a syllabus, class notes,
and class-related links on a course web site. A next step is to increase
the value of your site as a learning resource for your class-to "deepen"
what is available there. We'll demonstrate two new free tools that can
help: First, Hot Potatoes is a simple point-and-click program for generating
Web-based self-quizzes and drills in various formats: multiple-choice,
fill-in-the-blank, matching, etc. Second, Mhonarc is a listserv archiver
that automatically generates a companion web site for your class listserv.

The Good, The Bad, and The Frustrating: Instructional Technology in
the General Chemistry Laboratory Course
Media Services, Studio D
Deborah Exton (Chemistry).
Students in the General Chemistry Lab course have access to the "Virtual
TA" and regularly use the Web to submit data into a class data bank and
perform simple statistical and error analysis. There are, however, some
setbacks to be aware of when instituting such activities, particularly
in multi-section courses with large enrollments. We'll present our experiences:
implementation, successes, potential pitfalls, and student satisfaction
