1. Announcements

Welcome to our new member: Peter Haff from NSOE.
Notes from the last meeting are posted. Let me know if you have corrections or additions.
Reminder: all meeting materials, agenda, notes, etc. are on the CIT web site under http://cit.duke.edu/about/citab/. If you forget, just go to the Duke web site and type “CIT advisory board” in the search box.
Spring meetings – Would lunch time (with lunch provided by CIT) be a good time to meet? Or, would you rather continue with 4-5 p.m on the 4th Tuesday of the month?

2. CIT Grants programs will be advertized by the end of November.

The revised descriptions of grant and support options (reflecting your input at the last two meetings) will be on the web by Nov. 30, 2007, at http://cit.duke.edu/help/grants/index.html.

Please help advertise these opportunities to your colleagues.

We will be advertizing through our CIT email newsletter, through a mailing to each department chairs and DUS which inclueds a report on their department’s use of CIT programs in past, and through other communication channels.

3. Consulting with faculty on Web 2.0 / non-Duke tools (Revised)

The revised version of the document reflects suggestions you made at previous meetings. Please send any final comments to lynne.obrien@duke.edu by Nov. 30. This document will be then be added to the main CIT website. The major changes are:

10 tips consolidated into 6 tips. Tips are presented as short, bulleted, directive. Explanatory text follows the overview.
Case studies have bullets highlighting key points. Descriptive part of case study gives more explanation.

4. Mobile devices in education – interests and options

A discussion document describes educational uses of mobile devices and options we could consider exploring at Duke.

Discussion:

Which of these potential uses seems interesting and useful?
Are there specific approaches or projects we should pursue at Duke?
Would faculty in your departments be interested in a pilot project involving experimenting with educational uses of mobile devices?

5. Future agenda items
