Internet Research Results
I've got two so far, so I thought I would post them. I'll update with the third when I finish my research. So here's what I've found:
- AIS SIGED: International Academy for Information Management - This is an educational SIG (Special Interest Group) associated with the International Academy for Information Management (IAIM), which is affiliated with the Association for Information Systems. I found a couple of interesting conference sessions from the 2005 Las Vegas Conference. They are: "Collaborative Learning in an e-Learning Environment: a Case Study" presented by Prof. Carina de Villiers (carina.devilliers@up.ac.za), Department of Informatics, University of Pretoria and "The hybrid course: Using asynchronous learning tools in the classroom" presented by James Novitzki (j_novitzki@jhu.edu), Associate Professor and Chair, Department of Information Technology, Johns Hopkins University.
This site is useful because it has a conference proceedings from the last six years, including summaries of the presentations and contact information. It also has a link to its journal, The Journal of Informatics Education Research. It also has a lot of its officers which might be helpful, too. Overall, it has a lot of good links to literature and people in the field. - Ray Schroeder (schroeder.ray@uis.edu) is a Professor of Communication at the University of Illinois at Springfield. His site is especially interesting because he maintains several blogs about online learning and educational technology. These blogs are a collection of thoughts he has as well as links to articles and news stories he thinks are interesting. He also uses technologies extensively in his classes.
- Hawaii International Conference on System Science - this is an annual conference sponsored by the University of Hawaii. Hala Annabi (an Assistant Professor in the iSchool) has presented at this conference a number of times and my research interests are very close to a lot of work she has done. This site has some interesting papers, presentation and presenters. There's a whole track for the 2007 Conference on Collaboration Systems and the co-chairs of that track are good people for me to contact. They are Robert Briggs (bob@GroupSystems.com) from Group Systems.Com and Jay F. Nunamaker (nunamaker@cmi.arizona.edu) from the University of Arizona.
