[ED-TECH] Luncheon, April 4 - Really? Really? Really! Really?

Yes, there will be a luncheon on April 4th in the Hurricane 100 room. Yes, you should attend if you can, in my opinion. Yes, you should RSVP to 

The reason the original announcement, sent to all faculty, was recalled is because the email address for the RSVP was wrong on the original message. I was just told that RSVPs should be communicated to e.johnson5@miami.edu so I hope that is correct. That is the address that was on the notice that I sent out, so maybe I already had the corrected one.

I apologize for all the confusion. But RSVP (even if you have to use the telephone to do it) and set aside time for this event.

The Next Generation Course Redesign Project at the University of North Texas aims to redesign undergraduate classes to enhance student learning outcomes.  At the heart of the Next Gen Project are interdisciplinary faculty learning communities in which faculty nurture, mentor, and encourage each other.  NextGen courses are a blend of lecture, online, and experiential learning and are designed on a foundation of Student Learning Outcomes.

Dr. Phil Turner has been a classroom teacher, a librarian, a college professor, and the owner of an information company.    He served simultaneously as an academic dean and the lead administrator for distance and distributed learning for fifteen years at two institutions: The University of Alabama and the University of North Texas. Dr. Turner is currently serving as Professor Emeritus in the College of Information at the University of North Texas, and serves as a consultant to UNT's Next Generation Course Redesign™ Project. 

He has written extensively on the subject of the application of technology to the teaching and learning process, especially in the area of planning and policy.
