Welcome to the LCN

Welcome to the June issue.  I would like to thank those of you who emailed the LCN contributors with comments on their articles.  These contributors volunteer their time and share their knowledge, and they would like to hear from you.  The email address of each writer is included in his or her column to make it easy for you to send them feedback.  

I'm pleased to announce that Barbara Stout and Jeanne Wiatr from the University of Pittsburgh agreed to write a series of SI articles for the LCN.  As you know, Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an academic assistance program that increases student performance and retention. SI targets traditionally difficult academic courses with high rate of poor grades and withdrawals, and provides regularly scheduled, out-of-class, peer-facilitated sessions. 

In this series Barbara and Jeanne will share their experience setting up an SI program.  Topics covered will include  starting an SI program, department to department dynamics, recruiting and training leaders, supervision, and mentors (senior leaders supervising new leaders).   The first article in this series appears below.

Susan Palau, who has done a good job reviewing web sites for us in past issues, has agreed to take over the "Internet Resource of the Month" column.  Her first review under this column appears below.  

Enjoy the new issue.

Management Strategies & Tips

By Frank L. Christ

Email: flchris@mindspring.com     

Tip #12: More on Program Visibility 

Strategies for program visibility involve making presentations on learning assistance and its programs and services to faculty at departmental meetings, to students at association, club, fraternity and sorority meetings, and to incoming students at orientation sessions.

Other strategies that can be used includes eye-catching signage and program displays; self-guided audio tours of the LAC; program descriptions not only in the major campus catalog but also in all semester course catalogues, as well as in faculty and staff handbooks; spot campus radio announcements; and sponsorship of a campus/community computer club with meetings held monthly in the center.

The most pervasive public relations activity in my view is having a well designed web site and letting the campus know about it. See Management Tip #8 (February, 2001)

Student Study Skills Tips

By Lucy MacDonald, Chemeketa Community College

Email: lucy@chemeketa.edu

Task Management

It's summer time and you're taking a condensed course. The problem is that the sun is out and the water looks great. It's hard to study. Besides, they are trying to squeeze a whole semester work into 8 weeks! Maybe a plan would help. But instead doing a time management plan, what about a task management plan. What are the tasks that need to get done. Besides making a list of what needs to get done and when to do it, make a matrix with four boxes.  Actually you can make lots of these to use each week. On the vertical axis, write IMPORTANCE. On the horizontal axis, write URGENCY. Now make the boxes big enough to write your tasks in. The two top boxes should read: Important but Not Urgent, Important and Urgent.  The second set of boxes should read: Not Important / Not Urgent, Not Important, but Urgent.  The matrix should look like this:

 

 Important but Not Urgent

  

 Important and Urgent
 

 Not Important / Not Urgent 

 

 Not Important, but Urgent 

Now list your tasks under these categories. Then you can make a deliberate choice on what you want to do first.

Getting Started with Supplemental Instruction (SI)

By Barbara Stout and Jeanne Wiatr, SI Supervisors, University of Pittsburgh

Email: bstout@zbzoom.net and jwiatr+@pitt.edu

Starting a Supplemental Instruction (SI) program is one of the most cost effective, student oriented academic support options colleges and universities can offer.  This proactive, collaborative, guided study group benefits a broad range of students, faculty and the administration.  This is a first in a series of articles that provides an overview of preparations for starting up a program and uses The University of Pittsburgh experience to illustrate development of SI. 

As you consider the possibility of starting an SI program for your campus you can start by determining where the program will be located: Academic or Student Affairs, secure administrative clearance and program funds.    As listed in the Supervisor Manual, provided by the University of Missouri at Kansas City, a variety of further considerations must be made when beginning a program but placing the program on campus is the stepping-stone to getting other things accomplished.  At Pitt an SI pilot grew out of a learning counseling model already operational in Student Affairs. What learning support programs exist on your campus that might be your foot-in-the-door?

When beginning a program a significant amount of time and effort will be invested pursuing all the components of establishing SI therefore selection of a supervisor is critical.  Formal training in the SI model or at least in academic support programming is advised.  At Pitt the person already coordinating course based learning support was a logical choice.  This staff person had an orientation to supporting and working with specific courses and faculty, which lent itself to piloting an SI model.  Do you have personnel already established in learning support on campus?

Next, courses that qualify as high-risk (30% or higher D, F, W rates) must be identified.  You will need the cooperation of specific departments that have access to this type or information.  Individual academic departments might know D, F, W rates or be able to identify those gatekeeper courses they suspect meet the criteria.  At Pitt we looked at courses academic support was involved with before approaching an institutional office with a request to confirm courses with a 30% D, F, W rate. Is academic support on your campus already involved with some high-risk course(s)?

Obtaining requirements of courses to be targeted and most important the approval/cooperation of the faculty, dept. chair and or dean is critical as you proceed.  Faculty must be oriented to the SI model and be willing to support the effort to their course sections.  Successful faculty relations depend on strong communication between the supported faculty member, supervisor and SI leader.  Do you have faculty who would be willing to pilot an SI program in their course?

The SI manual details aspects of all the primary roles involved in development of an SI program.  Samples of forms for applications, observations, statistical analysis and reporting are contained in the manual.  A leader training manual is also included. Contact http://www.umkc.edu/cad/SI/SIUserRes.htm to inquire about the manual. This article and those to follow suggest a framework for thinking about the development of an SI program and offers possible resources that may already exist on your campus. The information can assist in creating the proposal you need to get SI started on your campus.

Person of the Month

Lucy Tribble MacDonald, M.A., M.A.

Who’s Lucy?

 Lucy wears many hats from learning assistance to developmental education to preparing tomorrow’s teachers through technology. You may know Lucy as a frequent contributor to LRNASST or as Computer SIG leader for CRLA or as the co-author of TechTalk in the Journal of Developmental Education.  But did you know that Lucy grew up in bilingual school in New Hampshire? (Language? – French) Did you know that Lucy taught ESL and EFL in the harems of Saudi Arabia? Did you know that Lucy wrote for the magazine Motor Boating and Sailing, while living on a 26 foot steel sailboat in the Bahamas with her husband and then two year old daughter?

Lucy was the first in the nation to develop a Study Skills class all online. She came to this from a vast background of teaching online since 1992 BW (before web). She took particular care in the pedagogy for developing this class and paid attention to the audience. She did user studies watching how students in the study skills center used the web and how they gained information with this new tool. After all her research on study skills on the Net, she created a interactive public site for students, where students can find helpful handouts on study skills and write mini reviews on what they learned. Her students are the Web gardeners who respond to these messages and help students formulate appropriate responses, before posting these writings. The Web gardeners are also responsible for putting weeds (broken links) and sowing seeds (adding new links.) She encourages all to use this site and have students use the site.  To visit this site point your browser to http://studyweb.chemeketa.edu

Lucy does faculty technology training both face to face and online. Her company lucyonline provides contract training, in-service training, and keynote speeches.  She is a frequent presenter at the Winter Institute. However, if you want to find her at the end of July, you will have to go to summer camp. She is at TIDE (Technology in Developmental Education) for a week long institute of intense learning and fun at SouthWest Texas University.

Yes, Tribble is my real name. It is my maiden name. And despite Star Trek and “the Trouble with Tribbles”, we have had this name in our family since 1729. The old slate stones in Burial Hill in Plymouth, just up the hill from Plymouth Rock provide the history of the family.

Book Review

By Martha Maxwell, Former Director of Student Learning Center, Retired UC Berkeley

Email: MMMarthaMaxwell@CS.COM

Book: Eminent Educators : Studies in Intellectual Influence
Author:   Maurice R. Berube
Publisher: Greenwood Publishing Group 
Pages: 192. 
Price: $57.95.
Order:  Click here to order on-line from Amazon or call publisher at (202)226-3571.


This slim volume is must reading for all of us who consider ourselves educators and want to remain up to date on its current thinking. Berube describes the four educators he considers the most influential intellectuals in the 20th century including --John Dewey, the father of progressive education, Howard Gardner for his work on multiple intelligence, Carol Gilligan for her work on the moral development of girls and women and John Ogbu for his theory and research on how the US caste system affects the attitudes of Black-American youths toward education.

I found it surprising to find that so many of John Dewey’s ideas are still current. For example, his views on the importance of experience in learning, teaching to the whole child involving not only intellectual but social, moral and cultural aspects as well, the concept of reading, writing, and mathematics as processes, not disciplines, and many more. Berube devotes one chapter to explaining how Dewey’s book, “Art As Experience” was a major influence on American Abstract Expressionists such as Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollack, William De Koonig, Mark Rothko and others.

Howard Gardner, the Harvard psychologist, whose work on multiple intelligence has changed the way we think about this topic. Gardner postulates that there are at least seven different types of intelligence : verbal, analytical (logical-mathematical), musical, spatial, kinesthetic, interpersonal (ability to deal with others), and intrapersonal (knowledge of self).  assuming an entirely different perspective than has characterized our development of standardize intelligence tests.  So pervasive have Gardner’s efforts been in introducing his concepts of multiple intelligence into school curriculum that Berube describes him as an educational industry.

Carol Gillingham is the first female culture star to have substantial impact on American education. Her work on the moral development of girls and women and how they form feminist identities has shown that women develop a different voice than men do on moral issues. Women develop an ethic of care that contrasts with the masculine ethic of justice and Gillingham’s work laid the foundation for subsequent work on women’s ways of knowing.

John Ogbu, a native Nigerian, came to this country as a graduate student -- first in theology at Princeton, the trained as an anthropologist at UC Berkeley. In his research on school children in Stockton, Ca. he observed the negative impact of the American caste system on Black students. He found that in the US Blacks were considered a “pariah caste” and that Black parents, although paying lip service to the idea of affirmative action did not encourage their children to succeed in school. Also, the low expectations of teachers and the acceptance that Blacks were, by definition, not as intelligent as whites became internalized by Black students as a negative self-fulfilling prophecy. Thus Ogbu held that affirmative action policies could never be totally successful in removing the stigma. He later compared the school performance of lower caste minorities who were the same race as majority students ( i.e., those natives from Japan, India, etc..) with immigrants to a new country (such as Koreans in Japan, Hmong in the US) He found that the immigrant society who have moved voluntarily to the US (or another country) because they want better opportunities, and/or greater economic well being, tend to do well in school because of these expectations. On the other hand, US Black students regard their peers who do well in school as brainiacs, or not truly black and disparage them as “acting white.” He urges Black parents to help children get over the ghetto cultural attitude that value athletic and entertainment successes over academic achievement.

This book should be in every college library. Make sure your campus has a copy.

Sponsor Corner

Need some extra time?

May has been a busy month for learning assistance centers.  With the end of the Spring semester, many staff members have to deal with the rush of students preparing for final exams.  In addition to this pressure, some centers have to close out the records and generate their end-of-semester reports.  If you are still using a sign-in sheet for collecting your data and you have high traffic, you're going to be spending a lot of time trying to compile your data to satisfy your reporting requirements.

However, if you're one of over the one hundred colleges using AccuTrack, all you need is to go to the Reports screen and click on a button!  There is no need to enter data from sign-in sheet or to try to compile numbers.  The software will compile your data and give you detailed or summary information about your visitors, their visits, and total contact hours during the semester.  If you have AccuTrack Deluxe, you could even click on another button to get attractive and informative charts to add to your reports.

So if you are not using AccuTrack, save yourself and your staff the tediousness of tracking your statistics on paper and step up to AccuTrack.  Things will quiet down after finals and this is a great time to check out what this software can do for you.   Visit the web site http://www.attendance-tracking.com/AccuTrack.htm  for detailed information and a 30-day free trial.

Internet Resource of the Month

By Susan Marcus Palau
Director, Learning Center, Purchase College/SUNY

James MacGregor Burns Academy of Leadership

Is June National Leadership month? If not, it should be after visiting "The James MacGregor Burns Academy of Leadership" homepage. This internationally known academy is located at the University of Maryland and states in their mission that they "foster principled leadership through scholarship, education, and training, with special attention to advancing the leadership of groups historically underrepresented in public life". From the homepage, you can visit the following "Hot Topics" sites: 

bulletJames MacGregor Burns' new book - The Three Roosevelts
bulletLeadership Reconsidered
bulletStudying Abroad in South Africa for Summer 2001
bulletCollege Park Scholars in Public Leadership
bulletInternational Leadership Association Call for Presenters
bulletAfrican American Leadership Institute (AALI)
bulletEvents Calendar

I decided to bypass the hot topics and instead jumped into the "FAQ" site.  Here you can get answers about the Academy of Leadership, their training sessions, the Scholar Practitioner Program, the Alumni Club and other Service-Learning Opportunities in the Academy. From here, I moved into the "College Students" site. Here are listed all the opportunities for University of Maryland students who want to learn more about leadership studies. They can get information about scholarships, studying abroad in South Africa, books, essays, job opportunities and links to other leadership sites. When I proceeded to the "Education" site, I found information about leadership education for K-12 students and the opportunity to buy the curriculum guide for $15.00. In addition various links were listed that are resources for all students and teachers who are curious about leadership education.

Moving into the "Training" portion of this site, I could see that there were many ways to get further ideas for becoming a consultant or trainer of community leaders. There are also two sites especially dedicated to becoming a woman leader and an African American leader. You can even learn to become a global leader. So if you are tired of being last in line when playing "Follow the Leader", click on at www.academy.umd.edu and move to the head of the line.

Software Pick

FlashGet

FlashGet is a download utility that speeds up file downloads and shortens the wait time.  In my tests I downloaded a 6.6 MB file both by using the regular browser download function and with FlashGet.  The regular download took 75 seconds.  The FlashGet download took only 38 seconds.  That's a 100% increase in the download speed!  So how does FlashGet do it?  It splits the downloaded file into segments (5 by default), and downloads all segment simultaneously.

This utility works with both http transfers and FTP.  It even check mirror sites for FTP downloads and selects the fastest one.  The utility automatically monitors browser downloads and pops up when you start one.

FlashGet is feature-packed with many customizable options.  The "Language" option alone shows an array of available languages that you can select for using the program.  The "options" box has numerous configuration controls that allows you to tweak the program to your preferences.

FlashGet is free with no time limitation or disabled features.  The software has an advertisement banner at the top.  If you like to remove it, register the software for $15.

To download FlashGet visit http://www.download.com and type "FlashGet" in the search box.

Windows Tips of the Month

Screen Capture

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.  This is true when you want to show someone how to do something.  For example, you might be creating an instructions sheet for your students on using a certain software.  Including screenshots of the tasks will make both the explaining and understanding easier.  So how do you get screenshot?

One way would be to use a graphics application and use its "Capture screen" command.  But wait, there is a much quicker and easier way.  Bring the screen you want to capture on the screen, and press the "PrtScn" button on your keyboard.  You'll find this button on the upper right side of the keyboard.  In the old DOS days, this button used to print a copy of your screen on your dot matrix printer.  However, with modern windows, this button does not print at all.  Instead it takes shot of your screen and puts it on the Windows clipboard.

So what now?  Since the image is on the clipboard, you can paste it anywhere you want.  For example, if you are creating the instructions sheet in MS Word, you can place the cursor where you want the screenshot to appear, and click on "Paste".  If you would like to manipulate the image to resize or crop it for example, you can open your graphics software (e.g. Windows Paint) and click on paste, then manipulate the image as you like and save it to disk.

Here is another handy tip.  If you only want to take the screenshot of a dialogue box instead of the whole screen, press and hold down the "Alt" key then press the "PrtScn" key.  This is useful for example if you only want to capture the "Options" box of the application.

MS Word Tip of the Month

 Fields 

Word uses fields as placeholders for data that might change in a document. For example, when you ask Word to automatically add page numbers, Word inserts a PAGE field.  There are many other useful Fields available.  In this tip we will learn how to explore available fields and look at an example of using them.

To insert a field, click on "Insert" and "Field..." in the menu bar:

The Field dialogue box will appear:

Word provides over 70 fields.  To help you find the one you need, it groups them into categories.  Go ahead and explore the different categories and available fields.  To see what a particular field does, click on it and Word will show you a brief description right above the "Preserve formatting..." check box.

  

For example, if you like to show the date the document was saved in your document, type something like "Last Saved:" and insert the "SaveDate" field.  You will see something like this:

    Last saved: 6/1/01 2:55 PM

To show that the above date is field not regular text, Word will shadow the text when you click on it:

   

If you like, you can even look at the code Word uses to represent this field.  While highlighted, click on the field with the right mouse button and select "Toggle Field Codes".  The field will look like this:

   

This function is useful in figuring out what a field does - when you look at someone else's document for example.  To change the view back to the date format, right click on the field and select "Toggle Field Codes" again.  Note that field codes are always enclosed with curly brackets { }.

The next time you save the document, the above text will be outdated.  There are several ways to update the fields on your document:

1) Click on the field with the right mouse button and select "Update Field"

2) click the field and then press F9.

3) To update all fields in a document, click Select All on the Edit menu, and then press F9.

4) Set up Word to update all the fields in a document each time you print it. Click Options on the Tools menu, click the Print tab, and then select the Update fields check box.

If you're wondering, the Table of Contents that Word generates uses fields.  This means you can update the tables by clicking on it and hitting F9.  You can also set up Word to automatically update this table before printing the document.
