11/16/2005 Ethnography of the University talk CITES Educational Technologies brown bag 

We are pleased to announce that Gardner Rogers, the Project Supervisor of Ethnography of the University Initiative, will be presenting at the next Fall semester CITES Educational Technologies brown bag. His talk "The Challenges of Archiving Student Work for Multiple Audiences" will be held on Wednesday, November 16, in Wohlers Hall, room 130 from 12:00 to 1:00. As always, we will have cookies and drinks.

The Ethnography of the University (EOTU) Initiative promotes undergraduate student research across disciplinary boundaries. Students in EOTU classes follow a rubric of invention, composition, and revision derived from John Dewey as they use iLabs. This talk discusses the challenges and pleasures of archiving this work on a web site for viewing by future EOTU students (so they can extend prior research), EOTU faculty and potential faculty, other campus units, and a broader academic audience outside the University boundaries.
