CLAC 2015 is getting close. The Consortium of Liberal Arts College’s annual conference is being held at Lafayette College from June 16 to June 18, 2015. This is my first CLAC conference — it’s something I’ve heard people in ITS talk about for years, but it always fell at inopportune times.
This year isn’t much different, as the conference is immediately followed by Moodle Hack/Doc Fest, Summer 2015 at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA, but given that it’s at Lafayette I couldn’t not go to CLAC. Plus, there’s no way I’d miss it’s “The future ain’t what it used to be” baseball theme. That theme will manifest with the conference staff t-shirts as well as an outing to a Lehigh Valley IronPigs game (thus the featured photo for this post)
I’ll be presenting “When Pedagogy meets Technology: Implementing a Mozilla Badges Platform” alongside Michelle Geoffrion-Vinci, Professor of Spanish, Lafayette College and Mary Toulouse, Director of FLL Resource Center, Lafayette College. We’ll be discussing Michelle and Mary’s WordPress-based LaFolio ePortfolio system, their initial work with using badges for assessment, and how we automated the badges process using Moodle and Mozilla’s open badges framework.
If you’re going to be at the event leave a comment or email me at newquisk@lafayette.edu. I’d love to chat.
