From: Laurie Bellows Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2016 4:32 PM Subject: Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning (CIRTL) Dear Colleagues, I’m writing with some exciting news for your graduate students. We recently accepted an invitation to join
the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning(CIRTL) Network, a consortium of over 46
institutions that promote proven teaching and mentoring techniques for STEM graduate students. For more
information on the CIRTL Network, visit the website here: http://www.cirtl.net
As a member of CIRTL, UNL will develop programs and resources built on the CIRTL core ideas: Teaching-asResearch, Learning Communities, and Learning-through-Diversity. This new local learning community will offer a
robust schedule of courses, programs, events, internships and resources. In addition, it will collaborate on crossnetwork projects with CIRTL partners and participate in national offerings. While STEM is the focus of
CIRTL, graduate students from any discipline will be invited to participate in CIRTL
offerings.
We’re currently working on a dedicated CIRTL website and will send you the link once it’s finalized. Also,
Graduate Studies will officially kick-off CIRTL activities in the fall with a workshop for graduate students and a
lunch for graduate chairs. Watch your email for more details. In the meantime, we’ll share CIRTL events advertised
in the CIRTL Network Newsletter.
Joining the CIRTL Network is part of our continued efforts to design and deliver effective programs that add value
to the academic and professional development of graduate students. Faculty interested in offering courses, programs, or events through CIRTL should contact Neal Bryan (nbryan2@unl.edu), our CIRTL institutional
leader.
We look forward to working with you and your students on this exciting new initiative.
Best,
Laurie

Mobile education innovator, Robbie Melton, Associate Vice Chancellor for MobilizationEmerging Technologies, is set to kick off the 2016 Innovation in Pedagogy and
Technology Symposium with her high-energy presentation on The Emergence of The
Internet of Things (loT) Smart Connected Devices and EduGadgets for Real-Time OnDemand Education Transformation.
The Internet of Things will not be gently knocking on higher education's door, it will be
banging on the doors with an army of devices in tow, and much sooner than we
may anticipate. In this keynote presentation, attendees will share in the exploration of
educational possibilities and challenges of the loT Smart Technologies (EduGadgets) as
data driven tools for improving academic and social performance with a hands-on
showcase highlighting the latest innovations in emerging technologies across the higher
education disciplines.

Throughout her 40 years in the field of education, Melton's tributes include a spot on the
2014 Top 30 Technologists, Transformers and Trailblazers by the Center for Digital
Education; 2013 Apple Distinguished Educator, 2012 Top Fifty Technology Innovation
Educator from the Center for Digital Education and Converge to name a few. Known as
the first "Appologist", due to the study of mobile apps and the creation of the Mobile App
& Smart Gadgets Education and Workforce Resource Center, Melton's background and
keynote presentation will be one you will not soon forget.
Joining Melton are two special guest speakers:


Malcom Brown, Director of the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative. Brown has
initiated major ELI undertakings such as the Seeking Evidence of Impact program
and Learning Space Rating System.
Tanya Joosten, Director of eLearning Research and Development at the
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM). Joosten guides strategic eLearning
