Institute for the Digital Humanities @ University of Denver

I have been selected as one of 12 national fellows for the NEH funded Institute for the Digital Humanities @ University of Denver.

The University of Denver’s Institute for the Digital Humanities will offer scholars the opportunity to explore the benefits of incorporating interactive media into interdisciplinary collaboration and public dissemination of research. Fellows will be given training and mentoring in the use of digital tools for data analysis and presentation, social collaboration and authorship, and/or research production and dissemination in relation to projects of their own choosing. This is a non-residential fellowship program, although participation is required in two on-campus events at the beginning (June 2011) and end (September 2012) of the 18-month fellowship period, as well as in one video teleconference at the fellowship’s midpoint (December 2011).

Here is a link to my proposal for this Institute.

Presentación Octavo Congreso de Educación y Tecnología

Resumen de la presentación, titulada “Google Apps for Education @UPR: Transformando los Servicios al Usuario”

Dos de las compañías de mayor influencia en el mundo de la computación llevan varios años ofreciendo servicios integrados de aplicaciones Web a instituciones educativas: Google Apps for Education y Microsoft Live@edu. Estos servicios ofrecen cuentas de correo electrónico, calendarios, procesadores de palabras, hojas de cálculo, programas para presentaciones, creación de páginas Web, y mucho más– todo gratuitamente y reteniendo identidad insititucional. Muchas universidades han adoptado estos servicios, reduciendo los costos de proveer servicios localmente a sus poblaciones y ampliando la oferta de herramientas de productividad. La Universidad de Puerto Rico adoptó Google Apps for Education en el 2008, una movida con el potencial de tener un impacto profundo en las poblaciones universitarias y su productividad. Esta presentación mostrará algunos de los servicios de Google Apps for Education, discutiendo su potencial para mejorar la productividad en los trabajos de educadores, estudiantes y administradores.
