TBers-
Along Janet’s lines
of permission: I’m curious if a student receiving SDS accommodations wanted
to record your lectures , would you allow it? Or even if a student NOT receiving such
accommodations presented a cogent case for voice recording, would you allow
it. While not a fan of it, I have
had a few students who actually made good use of that concept- particularly
those who had difficulty taking notes while following the gist of a lecture.

Dear Tbers,
Although it may not stop students from making unauthorized audio or audiovisual
copies of class presentations, I have included the following statement in my
class policies for many years:
Students may not make recordings of lectures or class
content for any reason without express written consent of the instructor.
These policies are given to students as a handout and are also on Angel.
I haven’t taken the time to speak of this rule to students, but my
reasons include the following:
1. It is my point of view that I own the intellectual property presented in
class. I therefore own the exclusive right to make copies of that
intellectual property. (Some problem DOES arise, of course, if that intellectual
property has not been fixed in a tangible medium of expression, as required by
copyright law).
2. Unauthorized audio or audiovisual copies may violate the rights of
privacy or FERPA rights of students in my class.
3. My Policy statement requiring express written permission for making copies
of my presentations does, I hope, strengthen any case I may wish to make about
unauthorized copying.
OK - - would like to hear from others about this.

This
is not intended as an argument against cell phones in class (two of the three
cases are from a campus lecture capture system), but it is intended as a
caution to those who don't realize that almost anything they do in class can
end up on YouTube. If you think banning cell phones will protect you, I'm
afraid a determined student will still find a way to film you. (archaic
term, what?)
The
Moral: Be very cautious about what you say, or you could be the next video
star.

Achim’s answer make sense, as always. I do not think, however, that
blocking electronic access during classes is a workable answer to the
problem of a student’s wandering attention.
I think we just need to do our best to present compelling lectures. Is it
better for students to nod off during a lecture than for that same student to
stay awake if though he/she is wandering around electronically during a
lecture?
I am much more concerned about the notion of having unauthorized copies made of
my lectures.
I’d also like advice about how to avoid electronic communication during a
quiz.
Thanks

Dare all to live in multiple worlds?
JAnet, you are off course right, but I am not able to switch to the new world
as easily: I understand that blocking all use of such devices is not only
unpopular, but also impossible, as increasingly, such devices can convey
knowledge better than the professor could:
Texting could, if used right, enhance the teaching, and be a assett. Ethics would
be the ideal answer - but I see that popular culture is endorsing the use of
such devices at all times: if most do it, it must be right.... We do not accept
the new norm in plagiarism, and should not rely on ethics alone.
However, as I sometimes walk by an "intelligent" classroom on campus
and see virtually all student screens turned on Facebook, and the instructor is
teaching content (foreign language) - I wonder if we would not better replace
ethics with (some) control: can we block at least for some classes some
surf" able" places?
Best
Achim

Last night I attended a talk at SUNY-Binghamton given by a world-renown author.
The talk lasted about 50 minutes (with a Q&A afterwards). In
the row in front of me -- and in direct eye-shot of the speaker -- was a
student who spent about a third of the lecture scrolling through facebook
pictures on her iphone, and texting her friends. The old norm was
"hope that a lecture is fascinating, engaging, and full of stimulating
media, but if it isn't, then try to find interest and meaning in it anyway, and
if you can't, at least try to avoid behavior that overtly communicates your
lack of engagement, disappointment, and wish to be doing something else."
What is the new norm, and what is the role of new technology (e.g., cell
phones) in creating and maintaining it?
Steve.

Subject: Next TB and Agenda?
TBers,
Just a reminder that our next Teaching Breakfast meeting will be Nov. 4,
Thursday in Starbucks at 8am. The topic (unless someone wants to talk
about something more burning) is “Lifting the Ban on Cell Technology in
the Classroom”. I’d like to talk about your reasons for
allowing or not allowing students to use cell phones during class.
There is a growing voice in Higher Ed. advocating lifting this ban
and I’d like to hear what you think.
