Blended Learning Conference Recordings Available
First, I would like to thank everyone who helped to make this year's Blended Learning in the Liberal Arts Conference a success. Our in-house catering, conference, and housekeeping teams and my student assistants, Yichen Liao and Angela Rosenberg, did a stellar job of making sure we were well-fed and everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. The fact that they were able to do so immediately following Bryn Mawr's graduation celebrations (and for the students, weeks of exams) is a testament to their talent and dedication!
I would also like to thank our 15 presenters, who agreed to expose their teaching and their discoveries to public scrutiny, so that we all might learn from the experience. Recordings of their presentations and any slides and materials they've shared are archived on our conference website -- just click on the title of a presentation in the schedule to see everything associated with it.
The conference was a huge success, attracting about 100 registered guests from over 30 institutions, not counting many Tri-College faculty and staff who dropped into sessions as their schedules permitted. As always audience questions and comments and the informal conversations over breaks and lunch were one of the most valuable and interesting aspects of the event.
July 18 Webinar on Sloan–C Blended Learning Mastery Series
The Sloan Consortium is offering a Blended Learning Mastery Series designed to help faculty develop effective blended courses. The series consists of three workshops spaced about a month apart to allow time for personal reflection and incorporation: research and design, teaching techniques, and assessment techniques. The next series runs from August 16, 2013 - October 25, 2013, and costs $599, which includes a certificate upon successful completion. For more information, Sloan-C is hosting a free webinar on July 18.

you know this game
you are in a new place
there’s a lull and you look around, a little up the street line
could I live here? the answer must always be yes
yes in a rented room in bangor, pa
where dad and uncle irving went to live during the depression
and a kite was ruined before little brother could fly it
no work for grandfather in nyc, grandma wrote her mother every day to testify
that life went on
even there
yes in downtown seattle
where you sashayed first, a loaf of bread under each arm
and a pack of cigarettes in your sexy jeans
the girl ben franklin as a young anarchist no date to keep
no one else’s time either
yes along the AT a drowsy summer day by pen mar park
where the pavillion (a pavillion!) is already set up for a wedding
