Verdict Over Digital Music Theft

Sun, 21 Jun 2009 16:01:53 EST

I guess I will have to watch this story and related developments with more interest. Some how I missed that a Case Western Reserve University student was being pursued by the music industry.

The story shares the verdict against a Minnesota woman. She must pay $1.92 million for 24 songs. It also points out a Case student is being sued as well.

Ohio Collaborative Conference on Bioinformatics (OCCBIO)

Wikis and Collaboration Models for Active Learning

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 15:12:04 EST

Case held this session on May 8, 2008. I was asked to participate and helped to organize this session, but was already scheduled to deliver a Plenary at another conference. I was glad to see the session was a success and left the participants with many things to consider.

Collaborative Technology and Engaging the Campus 2008
Track 4: Blogs and Wikis
Session: Wikis and Collaboration Models for Active Learning
Panelists: Ben Schechter, Bill Barrow, Bill Claspy, Brian Gray, Roger Zender

It was a discussion on how to use Wiki software in order to create an interface which provides an opportunity for collaboration among users.

Check out the others session from Collaborative Technology and Engaging the Campus 2008, which include sessions on blogging, virtual worlds like Second Life, mobile devices, VOIP, and many other topics:

Commencement 2.0

Sun, 18 May 2008 20:46:26 EST

I guess Case Western Reserve University found a way to make the commencement web 2.0 in nature.

Case Polymer Research Published in Science

Sun, 30 Mar 2008 14:33:16 EST

Can you imagine polymer nanocomposites that transform from hard to soft and back again by exposure to liquid? Researchers from the Case School of Engineering and the Louis Stokes Cleveland Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center have published results of such a polymer in Science. Case researchers were from the departments of macromolecular science and engineering and biomedical engineering.

More information available in the Case press release.

Libraries Exploring Their Second Life

Mon, 11 Feb 2008 07:00:00 EST

I was recently contacted by the State Library of Ohio to write an article on Second Life for their monthly newsletter in January.

In my article, Libraries Exploring Their Second Life, I highlight how libraries and other organizations are utilizing Second Life. I focused on Ohio but included other examples as well.

Case Mathematician Inspired By Science

Two copies have been ordered for the Kelvin Smith Library for use by the Case community.

Case Class Uses Podcasting

Sun, 16 Dec 2007 20:54:39 EST

A social work class at Case Western Reserve University is using podcasts to capture stories. I love that the professor calls each podcast a "learning asset". It is nice to see an example of podcasts being used in education rather than reading another story of how they may benefit education.

See the full announcement for more information.

The 15 people enrolled in Jerry Floersch's podcast class on Tuesday evenings are taking to the streets like ace reporters to capture stories from the world of social work.

Floersch is an associate professor of social work at the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences at Case Western Reserve University. He is experimenting in this new pilot class with ways to supplement and enrich textbook content with the sounds of real people, ranging from clients to agency staff and administrators who can describe how they do their job or provide advice on a particular situation.
