Re: Presenting as a group on C3 at JALT 2008 - Tomorrow is submission deadline

Hi Mark,

Thanks for doing all this.  I'll try to do more on behalf of this later!

Hi all,

 

On Friday, I submitted the "Promoting Program-Wide C3 with Social Software" abstract as a 60 minute workshop session.

 

I considered adding all C3 members as presenters but was not sure whether that would interfere with the possibility of acceptance of other abstracts sent in (I'm not sure how that works), so I only added the names of those would told me they wanted to do it (i.e. Bill, Dave and myself).  I'm assuming we can add more presenters or change names later if necessary.

 

Anyway, let's wait for the acceptance email coming around July 31 and discuss details in fall term.

Title: Promoting Program-Wide C3 with Social Software

Short summary (75 words): C3 = Communication, Collaboration, Community. This presentation will describe how the English Language Program at International Christian University, Tokyo has adopted the use of freely available online social software (Google services and Del.icio.us in particular)  to stimulate "C3" work practices on a program-wide basis.

Abstract (150-250 words): How can instructors and administrators in large scale ELP programs most efficiently communicate, collaborate, and build a sense of community? Since April 2007, the ELP at ICU has been moving forward with an initiative called "ELP C3" to train all staff to create, share, and archive documents online using a variety of free Google services including Gmail, Google Documents, Googe Calendar, and Google Groups. Based on their experiences as committee members in charge of planning and implementing the c3 initiative, the presenters will describe the background, rationale, system design, benefits, implementation steps, current level of success, and potential risks of ICU's use of free online social software services. The presenters will argue that the benefits outweigh any potential risks, with the main benefits being increased efficiency in relation to 1) sharing ideas on curriculum and program management documents such as class worksheets, 2) collaborating in the creation of documents, and 3) archiving past documents.

Re: Presenting as a group on C3 at JALT 2008 - Tomorrow is submission deadline

Hi Mark,

This looks great and thank you for working it up. Mainly because I will have Huw for July/August on my own and writing my LRB paper & making the associated presentation will probably be challenging enough, so this time around I feel I should pass on the C3 group session.

Thanks again,

Owen.

I saw the JALT proposal in my Google Docs and sorry for not responding. Hope to have a chance to chat about that on Friday perhaps.

Dear C3ers,

You may or may not know that on Sunday (4/13) I shared with you my JALT proposal & an invitation. My original January message to C3 regarding JALT did not produce an echo at that time. As in the original proposal this presentation is intended to essential present an LRB paper written during the upcoming holidays. It is suitable for co-presenting with co-writers of the paper. If you are interested in presenting the paper, please read the original January message and then take a squiz at the proposal below. Please let us all know if you are interested as soon as possible, the deadline is April 25. I am anticipating that only one or two C3ers (or perhaps none) may be interested in this proposal. However, I also anticipate that more C3ers would be interested in doing a session that focuses on the practical aspects of the initiative (not so much the theory), and in this case a new, second proposal would need to be written.

I am sorry if this message is overly convoluted.

1. ORIGINAL MESSAGE (JAN 3)
Date: Thu, Jan 3, 2008 at 11:31 AM
Subject: Meeting apology & LRB/JALT invitation
To: C3 <elpc3@googlegroups.com>

Dear C3ers,

I would like to try to put my plans in place at the top of the year for one paper and one presentation for 2008. I want to write something for the LRB tentatively on using social software to leverage 'networked work' at organisation level ( i.e. the ELP). And as this year's JALT 2008 conference will be held at the same site in Tokyo from Oct. 31 - Nov. 3, that would be an easy and well timed opportunity to present the paper. If you would like to write the LRB paper together and/or present at JALT together, or suggest an alternative plan, please let me know. JALT should call for submissions shortly.

2. Proposal
Here is  the proposal I tried to share with everyone on Sunday, which you may or may not actually have in your GDS docs: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ddd84g3_3g29s4dcn

Re: Google security

Thanks for your comments, Bill. My feeling is the same, that Google is just as secure as anything we could use at ICU.

While Google reserves the right to browse all data on its servers, they promise to protect the security and privacy of data. Their backup of data is probably (I'm guessing) superior to any drives or disks we use here too. If something leaks or crashes for some reason, Google is liability free (according to the terms), and the ELP cannot sue them, but that does not necessarily mean (I'm guessing, again, I don't know for sure) the risk is any higher than keeping things on our drives or disks or ICU's servers.

Just to add a little context to my delicious posting, my search for "Is Google safe?" was motivated by a conversation I had with Mike in the copy room. He told me that he was worried about privacy and security with using Google services and that he had done an Internet search and found some reason to believe we should be cautious about this. I had never done a search on that, so I tried it and the LawAndrew article was the only substantial one I hit.

I read through the blog and through Google's terms of service, and agreed with the consensus(?) on the LawAndrew blog that Google is just as good (and just as risky) as anything. Just like any data on any hard drive, we need to back up documents we don't want to lose, and we need to keep our passwords strong and secret. Other than that consideration, there seems to be, so far on the blogosphere, no publicized instances of leaks or lost data from Google services. If there were, we would hear about them - we assume.

However, to be safe, we may need a policy or suggestion of how to backup data. Without network connections, nothing on Google can be accessed, so having periodically backed up offline archives of documents is important. The only way I know how to do that is Other Actions - > Export as HTML (.zip), and seems to work well.

We may also need a policy on what information (students' personal data? grades?) should not be stored on Google servers, which are open to Google employees and affiliates, and to anyone who gets a teacher or ELP password someway.

I hope we can touch on this at our next meeting.

Hi,

Responding to the article that Mark tagged about Google doc security. -- I actually find the security greater than I expected.  I've been running some tests and I have been very pleased with the results. I agree though, that no information on the internet is completely safe, just as no information in our computer files or filing cabinets is completely safe, but Google docs doesn't appear to be any less secure that what we have used up to now.

Re: Thanks

Dear C3ers,

I thought Bill's opening was very useful in setting the context. Dave & Mark did a great job too, especially to keep people on task and on track when the technology sought to do otherwise.

From here, I think we need to keep our focus on establishing CSR as work practice through follow up one-to-one sessions. That is probably enough to do this semester.

Bill's questions point to work that does need to be considered & I hope will be part of next meeting's discussion, during which I think we should decide what our main goals are this semester, being mindful of adding any new initiatives at this stage.

Cheers,

Owen.

For now, the ELP spring retreat is on hold as we wait to see what will be required of us vis-a-vis the freshman retreat, but if we manage to escape that duty, I  think that would be a good time to revisit some aspects of our C3 plan.

In the meantime, questions that I am mulling over are:

What is the best platform for course/administrative homepages?

How to we create a comprehensive ELP archive?

How can we best establish our common tagging and document naming protocols?

Any comments on these or other questions are welcome.

Hi Bill,

I inquired on the phone, and the person at the Reference Desk who picked up confirmed, as far as he knows, that:
1) No login is needed, and
2) English Windows OS is not available

I have also sent the library an email to request that they confirm in writing as well.
Hopefully they will reply tomorrow.

I checked the availability of big ILC computer rooms with English OS (I-206 and I-106), and unfortunately both are being used for registration or orientations on Wed morning.

It looks like we will need to ask everyone to work with Japanese Windows and Firefox.

Dear C3ers,

I would like to offer a few starting points for discussion regarding the first PD session:

1. ELPC3ers need to model the Create-Share-Republish work flow in their daily practice. This is not established in our own group as yet.

2. Start with a small group of strategically placed individuals (not whole ELP) e.g. Coordinators, ELP Office.

3. Develop a USB drive hosted Personal Work Environment (PWE) with each participant

4. Work through simple teacher-tasks to complete the Create-Share-Republish cycle, integrating Gmail, GCal, GDS, Delicious, Blog, & GReader.

5. ELP Roll Out: Each attendee will teach one other person in the ELP. Each new trainee teaches another staff member. ELPC3 members will also teach 5 other teachers over the semester (PWEs useful here). Make a GDS form to track live who has taught who. Goal is to teach face-to-face everyone in the ELP at their personal machines at a time convenient to them before start of Term Two.

6. Scheduled whole(?) ELP PD sessions to consolidate understanding. skills, and individual work flow practices. Connect to 'new' program-level curriculum & course development cycles.

7. Coordinators facilitate sharing of course materials via GDS via Delicious to course homepages. Teaching assistants may be co-opted to help. Aim for all materials to be online before start of AY 2009.

Let's here what you think, over to you.

Regards,

Owen

ELP C3: PD First Steps

Dear C3ers,

I would like to offer a few starting points for discussion regarding the first PD session:

1. ELPC3ers need to model the Create-Share-Republish work flow in their daily practice. This is not established in our own group as yet.

2. Start with a small group of strategically placed individuals (not whole ELP) e.g. Coordinators, ELP Office.

3. Develop a USB drive hosted Personal Work Environment (PWE) with each participant

4. Work through simple teacher-tasks to complete the Create-Share-Republish cycle, integrating Gmail, GCal, GDS, Delicious, Blog, & GReader.

5. ELP Roll Out: Each attendee will teach one other person in the ELP. Each new trainee teaches another staff member. ELPC3 members will also teach 5 other teachers over the semester (PWEs useful here). Make a GDS form to track live who has taught who. Goal is to teach face-to-face everyone in the ELP at their personal machines at a time convenient to them before start of Term Two.

6. Scheduled whole(?) ELP PD sessions to consolidate understanding. skills, and individual work flow practices. Connect to 'new' program-level curriculum & course development cycles.

7. Coordinators facilitate sharing of course materials via GDS via Delicious to course homepages. Teaching assistants may be co-opted to help. Aim for all materials to be online before start of AY 2009.

Let's here what you think, over to you.

Regards,

Owen
