Digital Challenges Series - University at Buffalo

DIGITAL CHALLENGES SERIES

The UB Libraries, UB Information Technology, the Office of Educational Innovation and Assessment, Center of Excellence in Information Systems Assurance Research and Education and Student Life have partnered to start an annual “Digital Challenges” series. Three events will be offered during the 2014-15 academic year to raise awareness and provoke meaningful dialogue around current challenges of the Digital Age.

October 1, 2014: Your Digital Footprint

Exposing the 'meta' trail

Ubiquitous network connectivity and wide adoption of mobile devices have enormous potential to increase personal access to exciting new functionality and rapidly expanding social outreach. Yet these advancements continue to threaten our notion of personal privacy, amass huge repositories of federated data linked to our activities, and challenge our personal safety.

This event will explore the technological, ethical, legal and moral issues related to the “digital footprints” unwittingly left behind.

39th Annual POD Conference 2014 - POD Network

INVITATION TO ATTEND

We enthusiastically invite you to participate in the 39th Annual POD conference to be held in Dallas, TX at the Intercontinental Dallas, November 5-9, 2014!

This year’s conference theme is Leverage. This theme invites us to explore the various roles that we play as faculty developers, administrators, teachers, and students, and the ways in which we capitalize on the assets around us to meet the many needs of the higher education community, ideally doing more and better work with less effort. We hope this theme and conference will build on Kathryn Plank’s 2013 Presidential Address, during which we all contemplated who we are and our relationship to the meaningful work that we do. In that spirit, how do we leverage who we are to better accomplish all that we are asked to do, and why do we persevere?
