Harrisburg, PA, February 06, 2011 -- Join undergraduate faculty from throughout central Pennsylvania for a professional development forum and peer-to-peer exchange on the integration of learning technologies in teaching and learning featuring keynote speaker Carie Page, Community Engagement Manager of Next Generation Learning Challenges at EDUCAUSE.
The free Regional Undergraduate Faculty Exchange, entitled "The Integration of Learning Technologies in Undergraduate Teaching," will take place at Harrisburg University of Science and Technology on Friday, February 25, 2011, from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Innovation Transfer Network, in cooperation with Harrisburg University of Science and Technology, is hosting the event.
The event is ideal for regional undergraduate faculty interested in integrating learning technologies into the curriculum as faculty will be on hand to share techniques and technologies that have had an impact on their classrooms
Page's presentation is entitled Next Generation Learning: Leveraging Technology to Foster Deeper Learning and Engagement. She notes that from YouTube and multi-player games to Twitter and Facebook, today’s tools have transformed the way students connect, communicate, and play. This presentation will explore the ways that faculty and instructional designers are taking advantage of today’s immersive and collaborative tools to foster 21st century skills and help students engage more deeply and master content more quickly.
About Next Generation Learning Challenges
Next Generation Learning Challenges is a new initiative aimed at addressing the barriers to educational innovation and tapping the potential of technology to dramatically improve college readiness and completion in the United States. NGLC is guided by the belief that providing investment capital to expand the use of proven and emerging learning technologies, collecting and sharing evidence of what works, and fostering a community of innovators and adopters will result in a robust pool of solutions and greater institutional adoption which, in turn, will dramatically improve the quality of learning experiences in the United States. In her capacity as community engagement manager, Page helps manage the grant and volunteer process and develops events, resources, and engagement opportunities aimed at sharing evidence of "what works" and building connections between educators, technologists, policy makers, and practitioners.
About the Keynote Speaker
Page's interest in the relationship between campus IT and student outcomes started in the classroom where, as an undergraduate studying history, she discovered that simple online tools and pedagogical methods can yield greater student engagement. She also turned a keen eye to the characteristics of her classmates as a college editor and Student Government official. Those observations culminated in "The Student's Perspective," a chapter in the 2005 EDUCAUSE e-book, "Educating the Net Generation," edited by Diana and James Oblinger.
She has authored several white papers on topics from cyberinfrastructure to ensuring today's students are 'Net Savvy' and Green IT. Recent works include, "Father Google and Mother IM: Confessions of a Net Gen Learner" in the EDUCAUSE Review and a white paper on info literacy, entitled, "Getting Past Google: Perspectives on Information Literacy from the Millennial Mind." Prior to joining NGLC, she worked as program administrator for the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative and assistant director for Teaching, Learning, and Professional Development at EDUCAUSE. She earned a B.A. in History (2005) from North Carolina State University, where she studied as a Park Scholar, and a M.A. in Irish History and Politics (2007) from the University of Ulster in Derry, Northern Ireland, where she spent one year as a Mitchell Scholar. In her spare time, she tries her own suggestions in the classroom at Noah's Landing, a non-profit nature center that her family has operated for 10 years.

lebrel networks boosts ipad Traffic by as much as 50%
Today, LEBREL NETWORKS announced its DynaMO cloud computing technology can successfully increase Apple iPad data capacity by as much as 50%.
Unterfoehring, Germany, February 06, 2011 -- Today, LEBREL NETWORKS announced its DynaMO cloud computing technology can successfully increase Apple iPad data capacity by as much as 50%. Most noticeable improvements were observed with an average of Apple App store download of over 30% speed improvement, iTunes content reduction of up to 50%, and iBook’s over all content optimization of 50%. These performance results were observed in US, Europe and Southeast Asia.
With the advent of Apple iPad and arrival of new and innovative thin client devices, surge of wireless internet traffic use are being reported throughout the world. This trend is alarming to the network operators, who are now challenged with sudden and frequent network overloads and congestions, forcing them to evaluate costly increase in Operational Expenditure (OPEX) to accommodate for an unprecedented wireless data explosion. As more and more personal devices become active in the network, demand for data will soon outpace an existing network capacity.
Understanding this latest demand, LEBREL NETWOKS has introduced DynaMO cloud computing technology. The DynaMO solution is an end product of years of collective research and field experiences in data network optimization requirements. Anticipating the growing demand for the wireless data usage, DynaMO solution was designed with the latest data optimization techniques to fully utilize existing network infrastructure by, in most cases, doubling the network data capacity without the costly OPEX investment.
Additional benefits of DynaMO cloud architecture are also to provide considerable cost reduction on the leased line backhaul extension to the operator’s edge network. While most mobile operators own and manage its base stations and GGSN, the core network connections are usually supported via leased data connections on E1/T1 lines, microwave transmissions, or costly satellite uplinks. Naturally, a growing demand on data requirements will also require increased capacity on the backhaul transmission and amplify operators over all OPEX expenditure. By adopting Lebrel’s data optimization solution, operators can intelligently and effectively lower lease line capital expenditure and enhance backhaul capacity.
Lebrel’s DynaMO cloud architecture is a critical component in the future growth of any data network. It will successfully meet and relieve any growing demands of iPad and smart phone users all over the world.

Story Telling in the Digital Age Lecture to Highlight Local eBook Authors
Learn about story telling in the digital age with Pennsylvania e-novel authors Peter Durantine and John Luciew during a free lecture open to the public at 11:30 a.m., Tuesday, February 22, 2011
Harrisburg, PA, February 05, 2011 -- Learn about story telling in the digital age with Pennsylvania e-novel authors Peter Durantine and John Luciew during a free lecture open to the public at 11:30 a.m., Tuesday, February 22, 2011, at Harrisburg University of Science and Technology in Pannsylvania.
Both authors will join with Charles Palmer, executive director of the University's Center for Advanced Entertainment and Learning Technologies, for a panel discussion about the challenges and contributions technology adds to storytelling.
Durantine is author of The Chocolate Assassin, which focuses on chocolate maker Martin Hahn’s mysterious past, which is unraveled by a murder and a police investigator who is searching for answers. A resident of Hummelstown, Durantine attended the University of Maryland before going to work as a journalist for such news organizations as Roll Call, The Washington Business Journal and the Associated Press. As a reporter, he covered a variety of beats, from farms and religion to government and politics. He is part owner, co-publisher and editor of TheBurg, a monthly community newspaper in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Patriot-News journalist John Luciew is the author of four ripped-from-the-headlines fictional thrillers that mix politics and suspense: Kill The Story, Zero Tolerance, Secrets Of The Dead and Fatal Dead Lines. His first mystery was published as a mass market paperback by traditional New York house Simon & Schuster in 2004, but it garnered only middling sales. Luciew's foundering fiction career revived in 2008 when sales of the electronic copy of that first book, Fatal Dead Lines, began taking off. He promptly self-published his backlist of mysteries as e-books in 2008 and 2009 to ever-building sales. He's now at work on a fifth thriller, to be published exclusively as an e-book later this year.
The event is free but an RSVP is requested. Please RSVP online at http://www.harrisburgu.edu/news/event-registration.php or via email at CONNECT@HarrisburgU.edu.
