We enjoyed sharing the following slide presentation with the Professional Development Workshop at AOM 2013 in Orlando, Florida within an overall session called “Translating Scholarship into Practice: How Can Scholarly Research Be Translated Into Practice?” It also can be found at Prezi.com at this link.
Thanks to all who attended our 9 am presentation on March 6, 2013 at SXSWedu in Austin, TX, on Blending the University. We had a full house of 125 seats plus folks tucked along the back wall. We also had a robust conversation on the question of organizational challenges with blended learning design during the session and following throughout the day.
Please enjoy and share the presentation.
We’re getting busier and busier around educational technology change with many higher education organizations now. In this season of MOOCs (“massively open online courses”) and other education innovation announcements, I am focusing with many organizations on how to plan educational design with all of this output. How do we syndicate and create multiple use streams? How do we interact with publishing companies and other universities with all of this multimedia content? How do we collaborate and re-purpose what can otherwise be expensive limited use content?
Although technology has helped with the interaction of students that are far away from the campus, with now online available classes and many other advantages, you can even opt to apply for the mba scholarships in usa, and take advantage of all the great benefits that come with it, not only money wise but you will be able to have your career with one of the best education systems.
At least one university we’re working with is rethinking their academic publishing arm — what can we do with all of this media being produced in MOOCs and blended course environments?This week, I’m heading to the O’Reilly Tools of Change conference to think about how multimedia distribution might fold into all this expanded production in higher education.

We enjoyed meeting all the people who came to our Computer Using Educators session in Palm Springs, California, last week. Our presentation, “Reframing Technology Narratives and Routines To Energize Organizational Change,” is up on Slideshare, plus embedded below.
To some, this may seem VERY complex, and we are working to make much of this more simple. One of the participants last week suggested we create a workbook, which is a fine idea.
The core story here is that we worked with a K-12 school district last year to help them understand how they could change their own stories about technology blockages. First, we gathered stories from 22 individuals at different locations and levels across the organization. Then, we analyzed those narratives and brought them back to the organizations’ members in focus groups. The groups took apart the patterns, and later individuals took action to changes some of the main stories across the organization.
