In September 2005, I purchased my first iPod (a first generation Nano) and realized that an opportunity existed to come full-circle. Combining what had become my career in psychology with my original passion for broadcasting, I discovered podcasting.

Serving quality educational experiences to remote students is a challenge for many colleges in the U.S. Advances in multimedia equipment, video conferencing solutions, and high-speed delivery are making that task easier, but still not without challenges.

A few days ago I spent an entire day using older technologies and then learning about an interesting application of newer technologies. I spent most of the day being an official for the U.S. Amateur Disc Golf Championships, riding my bicycle up and down the slopes of the challenging Toboggan Course north of Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Document cameras, often referred to as ELMOs because of a leading manufacturer (ELMO USA Corp.), have been used in classrooms for years.

Colleges and universities delivering distance learning via the Internet face challenges in maintaining high-speed, high-quality voice, video, and data. Delivering video and voice courses using Internet protocols (IP) has been growing over the past five or six years, and technology companies are racing to keep up.

For the last seven years, I’ve been developing games for learning. The development process has been a lot of fun, and I’ve learned three big lessons: students love to learn by playing games almost as much as I enjoy developing them; game structures can be repurposed for different disciplines if the right “hooks” are built into the game platform; and mobile games are the next big thing. Cell phones offer a lot more than text messaging!

The University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO), a state-supported campus in the University of Nebraska system with 15,000 students, has begun a campus-wide ePortfolio initiative. The project is spearheaded by faculty, staff, and administration, and includes all colleges, the Vice Chancellor's office, and the Information Technology Services division.

A while ago I wrote a column describing what I felt was a Lord of the Flies situation in cyberspace, because young people (early teens) were spending a lot of time online interacting in venues where there was not only very little adult presence, but little or no established culture, and no mature role models. Now I read about what's been happening in MySpace and other online venues, and it seems as though there now is a developing culture coming out of that, but--surprise--it's not the kind of culture most of us older folks are very comfortable with.

So, yet one more information dinosaur, fat reserves dwindling, wakes up from its long nap, looks around and is startled by change. Of course it then begins trampling around with its weight's worth of lawyers, trying to put the pieces of its broken eggs back together by legal force.

There is this new book that you must read. It is edited by Diana G. Oblinger of the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative, and James L. Oblinger of the University of North Carolina. It's called Educating the Net Generation, and you will find it completely available online, at no cost to you, in HTML and PDF--but EDUCAUSE is not printing, warehousing, and distributing printed copies.

Each year at the Macworld conference in San Francisco, attendees eagerly await news of the latest Apple technology introductions and upgrades. This week, Apple CEO Steve Jobs did not disappoint, delivering the opening keynote with plenty of exciting announcements and demos that had the audience cheering.

During the academic year 2002-2003, as I attempted to keep track of developments in electronic portfolios, I wasn't quite frantic. Given the widespread distribution of portfolios-in classrooms, in academic programs, in extracurricular programs, for employment-this was no easy task, and at the end of that year, I concluded that my search to keep up wasn't probably successful after all, unless of course we measure success by exhaustion.

While it is a trend on college campuses, where it may be bordering on a craze among the millennial generation, you can still get blank stares when you ask a grayer general audience about wikis.

Talk to virtually any student about the cost of textbooks and you will likely hear loud complaints about the expense associated with course texts.

In the ocean of media that we live in, what we think of as 'life' may already just be a series of 'media interrupts.'

What should we be thinking of, when we think of a truly converged network?
