Milton’s Empyreal Conceit
Waco to Dallas / Fort Worth to Nashville to Murfreesboro to Nashville to NYC to Barcelona to Madrid to Dallas / Fort Worth to Waco, with a trip on Wednesday to Hakone–not in Japan, but in Second Life. A teleconference presentation for the University of Wisconsin at Madison. And a telephone interview with Professor Lawrence [...]...

Fra Lippo Lippi: Beauty, Connection, Meaning
No less contradictory and complex than his Andrea del Sarto, Browning’s character of Fra Lippo Lippi stands for a wholly different attitude toward art and beauty. This artist sees all the tangles that Andrea del Sarto does, but those tangles never spiral into cloying self-pity, angry accusations against beauty, or philosophical paralysis. Instead, this riven [...]...

Andrea del Sarto: Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt
I’m one of the keynote speakers for the New Media Consortium’s Symposium for the Future this week (the other is the amazing Beth Kanter), and I’m hoping to stir things up a bit by placing some wildly diverse concepts in conversation with each other. The title alone demonstrates the “wild” part pretty well: “Two Painters, [...]...

Learning At Baylor
With apologies to Kevin Creamer at the University of Richmond, whose newsletter title I shamelessly copy here (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, they say), I offer this first podcast from the Academy for Teaching and Learning at Baylor University. It’s a conversation with Dr. David Arnold, Ralph and Jean Storm Professor of Mathematics, [...]...

A personal cyberinfrastructure
Here’s my podcast of the “New Horizons” column I wrote for the Sept./Oct. 2009 EDUCAUSE Review. Even if the specifics need changing, mild or moderate or drastic, I’m as confident as I can be that we should be educating our citizenry to be systems administrators of their own digital lives. addthis_url = [...]...

NMC 2009 Closing Plenary: Dreams About How The World Could Be
Now comes the valedictory moment, the climax and the moment I’ve been dreading, too. I’m lousy at goodbyes. I feel the dark pull of leavetaking long before I rationally should. The “sense of an ending,” as Frank Kermode argues, can lend shape and meaning to the arc of a narrative. For me, that’s certainly part [...]...

The Two Cultures and Undergraduate Research: Phil Long at Baylor U.
It’s taken awhile, for which my apologies, but here at last is the podcast of Dr. Phil Long’s keynote presentation for the 2009 Baylor Scholars Week. Phil’s talk is very ambitious and comes at a great time as the two cultures meet again in the domain of undergraduate research. I think Phil’s after some home truths [...]...

Engagement Streams As Course Portals
This podcast comes from a presentation Chip German and I did at the ELI 2009 Annual Meeting earlier this year. Here’s the session abstract: What if course portals, typically little more than gateways to course activities and materials, became instead course catalysts: open, dynamic representations of “engagement streams” that demonstrate and encourage deep learning? The session [...]...

Intuitions, Networks, Disruptions
For those who’ve asked: yes, I do continue to record my presentations, even though I haven’t posted any audio for a long time. I’m hoping to rectify that (if “rectify” is the right word) over the next few weeks. Fair warning! Here’s part of the audio of a presentation I did recently at the University Continuing [...]...

Wrestling
Just back from a quick and intense trip to Boston, where I was on a panel with Jon Udell and Sarah Stein for a preconference workshop at UCEA 2009. I always enjoy my time with the UCEA folks. They’re open and inquisitive. They’re also entrepreneurial, a space that most university continuing education folks live in [...]...

Realized metaphors
It seems like only yesterday we were all partying like it was 1999. Now it’s 2009 and there’s not much left but hangovers. Yet I must in all candor report that I learned a ton in 2008, and not all of it was via cautionary tales, either. In fact, a lot of what I learned was [...]...

A Christmas thank you
Inspired by the season and by a wonderful day of reunion for our now-scattered families, I thought it would be good to say thanks to all of you who read, comment on, or otherwise interact with my writings here. When I began blogging over four years ago, I had no idea where the project would [...]...

A crucial conceptual leap
Photo by Shutterhack. Jon Udell and I talk about conceptual leaps from time to time. For me, Jon is both a consistent source of conceptual leaps, and a consistent inspiration for discovering my own. When we talk, though, we sometimes disagree, not so much about what the conceptual leaps are, but about which ones are reasonable [...]...

Cognition Prints
The tourist who carves his initials in a public place, which is theoretically “his” in the first place, has good reasons for doing so, reasons which the exhibitor and planner know nothing about. He does so because in his role of consumer of an experience (a “recreational experience” to satisfy a “recreational need”) he knows [...]...

SUNY-CIT 2008
  A little over a month ago I was privileged to attend and speak at the 2008 SUNY Conference on Instructional Technologies, splendidly hosted this year by SUNY-Genesee Community College. (You’ll need to use IE to get to the program pdfs; at least, I did.) The theme was “Are We There Yet? Teachers and Learners in [...]...

Excerpting audio from ITConversations
Promising new functionality from ITConversations: one can build a URL that will excerpt a portion of the recorded audio. I’m testing it here: [audio clip] The only hitch in the get-along is the requirement to specify a start time “after the intro.” As a former ITConversations post-production audio editor, I reckon this means after the show theme, [...]...

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I was privileged to read several lyrics by Coleridge this past Thursday as part of the University of Mary Washington’s venerable “Thursday Poems” series. The idea is simple: gather on Thursday afternoon to hear someone read thirty minutes worth of poetry. No lectures, minimal commentary, mostly just great verse. My colleague and mentor Bill Kemp [...]...

A conversation with Errol Morris
This is my 500th blog post. To mark the occasion, I’m podcasting an interview I did with filmmaker Errol Morris back in March, 1997. The audio, alas, isn’t very good.

M-Learning Presentation at the Virginia Library Association 2007 Conference
Since I took up this work in 2003, I’ve met some great, great people. One of them is Liz Kocevar-Weidinger, Instruction and Reference Services Librarian at Longwood University. Liz is a very creative and imaginative person who understands the power of metaphor and has an uncommonly interesting strategic sense of how libraries can become vital [...]...

Structures and Emergence
The new term begins in ten days, and I’m thinking about how to prep the sandbox for the fifteen weeks that follow. Truthfully, “thinking” is too mild a word. “Yearning” is more like it: yearning for the inspiration and insight into form, tempo, and activities that will give my students their best chance at surprising [...]...

The John Milton Cottage, where Milton wrote the final parts of “Paradise Lost.” From time to time, I teach a course called British Literature to 1800, usually with another professor or two so we can distribute expertise, keep the sections smaller, and do some tag-team lecturing at the Big Lecture Moments during the course.
