Maximizing Teams in the 21st Century
The Team Learning Assistant (TLA) is a web application developed by the Center for Team Learning at Boston University School of Management in partnership with Roundbox Global. It has been widely used across BU's School of Management for several years, and has been used by over 25,000 students at 75 universities and colleges throughout the U.S. and Canada. During this session, presenters will discuss how this unique application provides faculty with an opportunity to facilitate teams around course objectives, while producing measurable team learning outcomes for students.

Using Virtual Reality Technologies to Explore Worlds Beyond the Blackboard
Professor Michael Kraten is utilizing virtual reality to: (a) extend the field of social presence research through participatory experiments with students, alumni, and other constituents, (b) develop a Web 2.0 platform for professional, educational, and social networks that connect Suffolk students and faculty with members of the Boston business community, and (c) transition certain classroom sessions and courses to the virtual reality milieu, thereby alleviating the severe shortage of campus classroom space and enlivening the use of existing online Blackboard courses. During this presentation, the speaker will invite audience members to join him in a virtual classroom to engage in an experiential learning exercise and behavioral research activity. The session will be held in the professional conference facilities of the Second Life Association of CPAs, a global organization established by the real-world Maryland Association of CPAs for certified and chartered public accountants in all nations.

Internationalizing Service-Learning through Study Abroad Programming: The Bentley Initiative
Researchers offer evidence that service-learning is a valuable educational tool that enriches learning through service in the community.  Researchers also find that the ideal study-abroad experience is one which moves students beyond the confines of the host university campus to interact with people of the host country.  By drawing students off campus to provide service in host communities, service-learning can provide that qualitative structured interaction that enriches the study abroad experience for students both academically and socially.  In 2005, with this goal in mind Bentley launched an initiative to develop and implement a service-learning component to its study abroad program. This session discusses the design of the program, the process for implementing it, the strategy for growing it, and some preliminary feedback. Examples are drawn from Bentley's relationship with partner universities in Ireland, the UK and Australia. So, if you're interested in exploring how to .... this session is for you!

Teaching the Millennial Generation
Students of the "millennial generation," those who are of traditional college age and in our colleges now, are believed to learn differently from Generation X and the Baby Boomers. Specifically, Millennials have always known computer technology and are comfortable with it; their learning styles are non-linear and include multi-tasking, networking, and adapting readily to multimedia and alternative delivery modes (blogs, podcasts, electronic portfolios, online instruction and communication, synchronous and asynchronous distributed learning, video or telecourses, and gaming environments). This session will highlight ways to incorporate these modes into traditional classroom teaching to engage millennial students in learning.

Research

Boyer Reconsidered: Where Do We Go From Here?
In Scholarship Reconsidered, Ernest Boyer called for a new vision of scholarship that would be more directly related to contemporary institutions of higher education, and created what is now known as the "Boyer Model." Rather than the traditional tripartite model of faculty performance (research, teaching and service), the Boyer Model contains four separate, but overlapping, areas of scholarship: discovery, integration, application, and teaching. Since its publication in 1990, the Boyer Model has attracted increasing attention, was seminal to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Movement, but has not been widely adopted. In this session, we will outline the Boyer Model, discuss its strengths and weaknesses, and share ideas for its future role in higher education.
