25. Collaborative Technologies This learning community identifies, tries out and studies effective ways to use technology in collaborative endeavors. Members try out collaborative technology with colleagues and in their classrooms, gaining valuable feedback from both.

26. Information Literacy Member teams develop modules within specific fields of study for students to enhance their information literacy skills. Linked with Bowling Green State University, and in a collaborative effort between the Libraries and Faculty Professional Development Centers at the two schools, this FLC is linked with a larger Ohio Board of Regents Initiative that includes several other Ohio institutions in sharing materials.

27. Learning & Teaching Large Classes This new FLC is designed to enable participants to explore student learning in large classes. Drawing on the experiences of members, students, the growing literature and research on teaching and learning in large classes, and on students who learn in large classes in a diversity of disciplines, FLC members develop individual projects tailored to their current teaching assignments and that will have implications for other courses as well.

28. Great Starts This Community focuses on the freshmen experience. It is designed to help students have a great start in college. Using principles of learning and development, and the Seven Principles of Good Practice in Undergraduate Education as a jumping off point, members of this learning community explore student perspectives and share ideas for working with freshmen.

29. Faculty & Future Faculty This learning community aims to improve the teaching of and the teaching by graduate students at Kent State University. F-cubed brings together faculty and teaching assistants (TA’s) from many disciplines to study teaching and learning and to discuss improving the TA orientation program and the college teaching course offered in various departments at KSU. They are developing learning modules that can be used in courses on college teaching.

30. Online Learning & Teaching Learning Community members design individual projects to develop and improve online and blended courses within the community context. As members try out their ideas in their classes the group provides support, discussion, and feedback.

38. Strategic Priorities:2004-2005 –-- 2010

39. WKSU: “our goal is to make your world a little more interesting.” • Transforming the culture of teaching and learning at KSU: time, space, relationship

40. “New worlds new minds; between the yrs 1999 and 2002 the total number of publications that had taken place in the history of publication before 1999 had doubled, the next doubling took one and a half yrs.

41. Learning: Igniting Curiosity and fanning the flames – from curiosity to systematic self critical inquiry made public = research • Number 1 principle of Learning: start where the learner is. With faculty development; with student learning.

42. Finding the gold – uncovering – cultivating environments and standing out of the way – showing possibilities (Large classes; critical colleague groups) • A change in the fpdc: 5 ½ years

43. “There is no substitute for genuine commitment and commitment starts “at home”. No one should be told to change their beliefs, or to adopt new values, or to change deeply habitual ways of doing things; efforts to employ coercive power to bring about deep change invariably backfire. Those who lead must be prepared to change themselves first, rather than focusing on how others must change.” Peter Senge LEARNING – it’s for all of us. And starting at home is the toughest – and the only way it works. Holding hands helps.
