  • A Global View

    Monday, March 15th, 2010

    After a century of serving adult learners from its Columbus, Ohio, campus, Franklin University is going global. Starting with a recently opened facility in Indianapolis, an ambitious five-year initiative is adding outposts staffed by U.S. educators in China, India, Macedonia, Poland, Slovakia and Vietnam.

    To ensure that the educational experience of its far-flung community remains uniquely “Franklin,” the university is rolling out telepresence for distance communications, a technology that translates cultural nuances well across geographic boundaries, offering a lifelike experience.

  • Not Just Fun and Games

    Monday, March 8th, 2010

    Wisconsin’s Saint Norbert College uses video games in the classroom to correlate gaming behaviors with learning behaviors.

    When Paul Waelchli hears media hype over a new video game release, his first thought is not about how much fun it will be to play. Instead, this information literacy and instruction librarian at De Pere, WI-based Saint Norbert College, said his brain starts clicking over how the new technology will help the institution’s 2,100 students adopt effective study habits and academic behaviors.
