We know that tight budgets and travel restrictions were preventing many from being able to attend our Teaching and Learning with Internet2 Symposium from one of the site locations - - so we've now made participating even easier.
If you're coming to Bucks County Community College or Mercer County Community College, on-site attendance is now FREE.
Can't travel? You can attend via interactive videoconference - - or watch the live webstream.
Again, virtual participation is free, too!
We can take a limited number of interactive sites for each keynote, special lunch session and break out sessions. If you'd like your campus/school to participate as an interactive videoconference site, you must have H.323 videoconferencing gear and be connected to MAGPI, NJEDge.net, Internet2 or your national research and education network. To become an interactive videoconference site for one or more sessions, please register here.
All sessions will be webstreamed live at video.magpi.net. Just click on the 'live stream' button to view available live webstreams the day of the conference. Webstream participants can send questions to the presenters by tweeting them to @magpik20 (with hashtag #TLi211) or posting them to the symposium facebook wall at www.facebook.com/TLi2Symposium.

Washington YOUR Way: The C-SPAN Video Library
Description:
The C-SPAN Video Library records, indexes, and archives all C-SPAN programming for historical, educational, research, and archival uses. Every C-SPAN program aired since 1987, now totaling over 170,000 hours, is contained in the C-SPAN Archives and immediately accessible through the database and electronic archival systems developed and maintained by the C-SPAN Archives.
The Archives records all three C-SPAN networks seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day. Programs are extensively indexed making the database of C-SPAN programming an unparalleled chronological resource. Programs are indexed by subject, speaker names, titles, affiliations, sponsors, committees, categories, formats, policy groups, keywords, and location. The congressional sessions and committee hearings are indexed by person with full-text. The video collection can be searched through the online Video Library.
All C-SPAN programs since 1987 are digital and can be viewed online for free. Duplicate copies of programs that have aired since 1987 can be obtained and used for education, research, review or home viewing purposes. Proceeds from the sale of these programs help support the operation of the Archives. Some programs are not copyright cleared for sale.
The Archives began within the Purdue University School of Liberal Arts in 1987. In July 1998, C-SPAN assumed responsibility for the archival operations and the facilities were moved from the Purdue University campus to the Purdue Research Park in West Lafayette, Indiana. The indexing, abstracting, and cataloging of C-SPAN programs is the responsibility of the C-SPAN Archives staff.
About the Presenter
Jeremy Art has been with C-SPAN for over three years. He is the Digital & Social Media Specialist, strengthening C-SPAN's presence in online and social media. He's responsible for creating online buzz and word-of-mouth about C-SPAN and implementing methodologies for tracking conversations about C-SPAN. He started in the C-SPAN's marketing department working primarily with C-SPAN's Digital Bus, traveling across the country talking with students, teachers and the public about C-SPAN and its free resources. He earned a degree in Agribusiness from Arizona State University in 2005. Art was just recently named Outstanding Alumnus from the Morrison School of Agribusiness and Resource Management at the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University.

Description:
Imagine a student with asthma who is having difficulty breathing while at school being sent to the school nurse. The student is instructed to sit in front of a video screen. Using a special stethoscope, a doctor who is mile away examines the boy’s chest, and breathing. The doctor then sends a prescription to a local pharmacy and the meds are delivered to the school; the nurse administers the medication and then instructs to the student to go back to class.
The following is an example of a real scenario where school based health centers and Telemedicine will become the norm in promoting quality health care for all children regardless of location.

Prof-in-a-Box: Using Videoconferencing to Help Students in the Anatomy Dissection Lab
Time: Break Out Session # 3, 1:15 PM - 2:05 PM ET
MCCC Room:
IVC Remote Sites: Manheim Township SD, Bayside Academy, Montgomery County Community College, Binghamton University
Track: Health Sciences, Science and Technology
Description:
Distance learning technologies can be used to deliver lectures and to facilitate discussions between geographically dispersed groups. I designed an internet-videoconferencing system (Dr. PiB) that can be used to help students identify anatomical structures in the gross anatomy dissection lab at a remote site. The students were willing to use the system, were enthusiastic about the system, found it useful, and wanted to see its use expanded. I then modified Dr. PiB to make it WiFi capable and mobile. This allowed Dr. PiB to be used to guide/assist the students with performing their own dissections at a remote site. I am now modifying the system again to make use of post-PC technologies such as the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.
About the Presenter:
Stephen J. Moorman, Ph.D. holds joint appointments in the Department of Neuroscience and Cell Biology and in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at the UMDNJ Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. He is also a UMDNJ Stuart D. Cook MD Master Educator, and a Harvard-Macy Medical Education Fellow. Dr. Moorman's research interest is in the use of technology in Medical Education and assessment.

Ars Technica: Creating in the Convergence
Time: Break Out Session # 3, 1:15 PM - 2:05 PM
BCCC Room:
MCCC Room:
Track: Arts and Humanities
Description:
Through the convergence of live theatre and technology, a world of new possibilities is being created for the performing artist. Virtual, immersive, and interactive environments, avatar performers, and telematic performances are just a portion of the technological tools creatively being utilized by theatre artists to enhance their ability to tell a story. This presentation will explore several of the advances being made in integrating technology into performance with an emphasis on the the use of high-bandwidth Internet networks to collaborate and create from extreme distances.
About the Presenter:
George H. Brown has worked in the professional and university theatre for over 20 years filling a gamut of positions from Director to Actor to Fight Choreographer. He has directed over 100 productions in theatres across the U.S., Caribbean and Europe and has been actively engaged in mediated theater since the 1980’s. His research and creative production has focused on live video integration, multi-screen and non-traditional surface projection techniques, mediated performance, and, most significantly, telematic performance, which takes advantage of high bandwidth Internet2 connectivity to join artists and technologists from around the world to collaborate and present theatre events that push the technological and creative envelope. His mediated creative activity has gained considerable attention with coverage from Discovery Channel News, Backstage (East and West Coast editions), Chicago City Arts Review, Live Design, and Southern Theatre to name a few. He and his collaborators have been awarded the ORION Learning Award of Merit, Theodore C. Burgess Award for Collaboration, the 2008 Internet2 IDEA Award , and the CASE Gold Award for their mediated creative production. George serves as Professor and Chair of the Department of Theatre Arts at Bradley University in Peoria, IL. He holds an MFA Degree in Directing from Penn State.
