Envisioning a New Case: From Inspiration to Presentation to Preservation Joanne Eustis University Librarian Case Western Reserve University Wendy Shapiro Director Instructional Technology and Academic Computing Case Western Reserve University “Systemic change recognizes that a fundamental change in one aspect of a system requires fundamental changes in other aspects in order for it to be successful.” (Reigeluth, Garfinkle 1994). Case Western Reserve’s Kelvin Smith Library is a partner with the University’s College of Arts and Sciences, Information Technology Services’ Instructional Technology and Academic Computing (ITAC), and the University Center for Innovation in Teaching and Education (UCITE). The partners are taking a systems approach to building a facility (the Samuel B. and Marian K. Freedman Digital Library, Language Learning, and Multimedia Services Center) that nurtures the creation of new knowledge through the use of emerging digital technologies. To realize the vision of transformative learning consonant with a new university President’s aspiration Envisioning a New Case, the Freedman Center will create a learning environment in which students and faculty are able to design and integrate technology-rich educational materials, successfully merging traditional formats with new media and new technologies. Simply put, with appropriate expertise culled from the Library, the College of Arts and Sciences, ITAC, and UCITE, the Center is designed as a space with resources for students and faculty who wish to complete projects from start to finish (and if appropriate submit them for preservation purposes to Digital Case, the University’s institutional repository): from resource gathering through the end product: “from inspiration to presentation [to preservation].” Handout (PowerPoint Slides) PowerPoint Presentation Spring 2005 Meeting Home Page     Spring 2005 Project Briefings     Spring 2005 Schedule
