Back in the office today #

I'm back in my office now -- and it feels great. Last week, I was at Educause Annual Meeting last Tuesday to Friday, where David, Peter, and I spoke. On Monday and Tuesday, I attended the IMS Quarterly meeting. It's so nice not to be on the road and to have a bit of time to think more clearly. Since I learned a lot and talked to some really great people, it would be really helpful to reflect and write out what I've learned and resolved to do next out of this trip. Alas, there's not too much rest for the wicked this week. On Friday, FredBeshears organized a Learning Design Session where I'll be speaking (for a bit) -- just before the talk Peter Brantley and I will be giving a talk the Information Access (Friday afternoon seminar) run by Michael Buckland and Cliff Lynch at SIMS.

The blurb for our talk:

Libraries and Instructional Technology

How should digital libraries facilitate the use of their content and services in the development of digital learning materials? This question is of current interest in both the library and educational technology communities. The California Digital Library (CDL) -- the 11th university library of the University of California -- and the UC Berkeley Interactive University Project (IU) have been working together to test and develop ways for educational technologies to make the library's resources more accessible to all its audiences -- including current and potential users in K-12 communities.

In this talk, Peter Brantley, Director of Technology at the CDL, and Raymond Yee, Technology Architect of the IU, will discuss how the problem of interoperability between information and learning environments looks from their respective insitutions and their end-users, both theoretically and practically, functionally and technologically.
