New Learning Communities
Integrating Networks and Networked Information into Teaching and Learning
ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear cni-announce
subscribers:
The Coalition for Networked Information is pleased to announce that it has
received a grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Title IIB program to
assist with funding the second year of its New Learning Communities
initiative.
The Coalition will offer a program consisting of three components that
encompass a total of five days of face-to-face interaction and several months
or longer of online interaction. The centerpiece of the program is a three-day
workshop based on the successful New Learning Communities workshop
that the Coalition offered last year. Following on this year's three-day
program, two other events will be used to disseminate the lessons learned from
the events of both years and to stimulate additional institutions to develop
similar curricular projects. All three events will emphasize the role of
networked information (content), not just networks (conduit), and the expertise
of the librarian as a team member in developing new or revised curricula.
Participation in the three-day workshop will be invitational. Institutional
teams will be selected from respondents to the Call for Participation. The second
and third events in the program will be open registration workshops.
The program was developed by CNI's Working Group on Teaching and Learning under
the leadership of Philip Tompkins, Indiana University - Purdue University of
Indiana, and Susan Perry, Mt. Holyoke College.
