Day One at #auc09 is Done

Just wanted to give a report on the topics covered as the SBU team spread out to cover the topics of interest. From the Plenary, Ray Henderson's report card and demo on version 7.4 was worth enduring the rest for. Google content, rubric enhancements, Institutional Directory, and some really nice additions for the Gradebook, were all very impressive and exciting.

For the sessions that covered the rest of the day, we found out details about such things as:

  • Evergreen Training
  • Upgrading to 7.4 details
  • Integrating Google Docs
  • iTunesU and ANGEL integration
  • A Second Life dropbox which is integrated into ANGEL
  • How to provide student identification verification
  • Promoting Higher Quality Online Discussion and Interaction
  • Use of Rubrics in version 7.4
Tomorrow's sessions will carry us into mid-afternoon, and then the journey home.
