What Every Student Needs The Six P's


Bologne was the first spot of the first University Monastic Model
*13th century
* Preservation and transmission of culture
* Harvard, Princeton, Yale all started to train monks

"There's a reason why we wear funny clothes at graduation."

Reason the classrooms had a podium (the lectern).

Deep DNA in Monastic Model
* Role of Professor as Priest (consecrated if I say you are worthy--you will recite)
* Student as Novitiate
* Institution as Conservator and Authority

Cleric ("Clark"-bureaucrat) to accurately collect tax and census work

Architecture still very reflective (domes, spires, gothic/classic architecture)

German Polytechnic Model (and American Land Grant University)
* Mid 19th Century thru 1930's
* Generation of new knowledge and its "practical" application
* BIG Agriculture, BIG Technology, and finally BIG Science

Einstein went to Zurich Polytechnic

Deep DNA
* Professor as researcher/innovator
* Student as apprentice scientist (To drive the economy)
* Institution as engine of economy

(Stanford architecture--trying not to be a church)  Form follows function

MIT - Both designs present

Industrial  Model
* Post WWII - 1950'2 to mid 1970's
* Production of graduates for the workforce

GI bill (called something else) and VA hospital (and loans)
within a year 3 million enrolled in college, didn't have enough housing
Women's colleges were turned into co-ed to help meet needs and absorb overflow

Truman Commission included we needed to retrain workforce and present system wasn't ready to do this so they Jr colleges became comprehensive community colleges (redo schools that were Rosie the Riverter schools).

1964-65 Large increase in schools

Baby boom (19 years after the war ended and soldiers came home)

Deep

Otterly Successful

Fusion 2013 Game-Based Learning with D2L Technology

Lead by Jon Richardson, C.J. Morrison both from D2L


Game for more interaction, motivation, differentiated instruction

Leaderboards have to be built by individual campus. Beware of FERPA

Would have to contract D2L (someone to design someone to code) to do the gamification/gaming for learning.

Sounds like this is a promotional session only.  Unfortunate. Hate choosing the wrong sessions.

Social Media Icons

Caution: want to make sure it is compatible with the theme you're using

What to look for in plugin
compatible with version of wordpress

Can google top downloads for Wordpress
Featured posts and newletter are two they like

Widget
Drag and drop makes it easy
Can decide area you want them to go to
Can do manage other information with it (how many posts, width of thumbnail, featured or category)

Wysija (newletter) plugin recommended http://www.wysija.com/
Can pull in work you've already done instead of having to recreate
will do pages as well as posts
drag and drop
editing function pretty good
packaging archived sites and sending them out as a newsletter
have ability to subscribe (name and email)

Effective way to connect with others without bombarding with information (via email)
Trends in the industry
Training opportunities
Usergroups (lists) so that people subscribe to certain newletters

Contact Forms

Other functions

Still time consuming (more people the work can be spread out)

navigation

Dashboard
Can be used for quick posts or quick stats are nice

Pages
Can have multiple authors
A page is something that lives in the navigation

like pages but they have tags (pages have categories)

Tags can really filter down to the keywords you're interested in
Tag cloud with scale or size (how popular are they or how often they are used)

Post is like a news article

Menus and Navigation
Menus are fairly intuitive

Assign it to an area of your website (ie header, footer, submenu)

identations (Don't do more than 3 levels!) Organizational prep ahead can help with this
