THE WIRED CAMPUS

A daily glance at education-technology headlines
for Wednesday, November 10.

A service of The Chronicle of Higher Education

_________________________________________________________________

FROM THE CHRONICLE:

"Good Technology, Bad Teaching"
Colleges have spent millions on high-tech classrooms but a lot
less on training professors how to use them. As a result,
students say, technology has made some professors even worse
teachers. Join a live, online discussion of the issues raised in
this article on Thursday at 2:30 p.m., U.S. Eastern time.
Advance questions and comments may be posted now.

"Better Learning Through Holograms"
At the League for Innovation in the Community College's 2004
Conference on Information Technology, which ends today, one
company has been showing off a product for using holographic
images as a teaching tool -- but will students balk at having
to wear 3-D glasses? Find out more about this and other new
innovations that are getting delegates' attention, on The
Chronicle's Weblog from the conference.

"Even Digital Memories Can Fade"

bric-a-brac -- but experts say no one has yet figured out how
all that material will be preserved. (The New York Times)
