(23 seats available)
Thursday, November 13th, 1-5 PM
Hahnemann Library, Drexel University, 245 N. 15th St. Philadelphia, PA 19102
This class is intended to provide a fun, fast-paced, and informative introduction to and update on today’s hottest technology trends. Program participants will be able to identify technology trends and they will understand how these trends will impact or can be integrated into traditional library services. Content will be presented with a “can-do” focus intended to encourage participants to investigate at least one technology for implementation in their institution. Course structure will include brief vignettes and demonstrations of a wide variety of technologies. Some of the topics to be covered include instant messaging, podcasting, open source software, spyware and other malware, developments in mobile computing, blogs and wikis, radio-frequency identification, and more.

Greetings,
Please excuse the cross posting.
I am doing research in use of on-line learning resources (including virtual worlds like Second Life) for nurse education. Would you please share with your institutions’ departments of nursing the information the link to survey where we are gathering data?
The survey asks questions regarding attitudes toward online learning and the use of gaming or virtual worlds. The url is:

We have had a wonderful response thus far and hope to gather more data over the coming weeks. The survey will run throughout October.
Thank you all in advance.
