Advanced technologies studios

Published: 06 November 2005 Publication History

Abstract

UW Educational Partnerships and Learning Technologies (EPLT) is driving innovations in teaching and learning. One of our efforts is the creation of three advanced technologies studios. This paper introduces the suite of informal spaces, details the path from students' informal use of technology to the faculty integration of those technologies in formal learning, and discusses our research and evaluation of this process. Advanced Technologies Suite includes:
Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) - This suite is a collection of hardware and software designed for recording, editing, and processing audio files. The DAW allows students to record analog instruments, vocals or musical, to the computer in a digital format, import previously recorded audio into the system, and provide clients with several audio editing environments.
TeamSpot - These suites are an innovative server-driven laptop workspace that facilitates group collaboration through a 50" plasma display. The plasma display becomes the collaborators public desktop or shared workspace. We include Webster Smartboard software to present, annotate, archive, and share information, server software that permits remote control of the public desktop by all collaboration members, and software to facilitate sharing files and information easily between the public desktop or between any of the other participants.
Digital Presentation Studio (DPS) - This studio contains a podium, a 50" plasma display, and seating for a small group of evaluators, a fixed camera, and two microphones to capture the presentation. A student logs in, enters a presentation title and begins recording. Everything else is handled automatically and in the background.
