Tech: Professor uses Web to compare texts
Continued from page 1A
give students wider access to media
as classroom materials. This may
transform the role of teacher or facul
ty members to that of a librarian who
presents material and helps students
wade through it to find the informa
tion relevant to a class.
Associate professor emeritus
William Rockett is utilizing digitally
scanned English literature ranging
from 1473 to 1700 in the University’s
library to interactively involve stu
dents in classes such as Shakespeare
and Early TUdor England, a research
oriented course.
It is part of a program called Early
English Books Online, which has cat
alogued more than 100,000 books,
ballads, pamphlets and advertise
ments from Great Britain or other lo
cations that are now available to stu
dents. Further goals for the project
are to include more English publica
tions and allow keyword search ref
erencing ability so students can find
material more easily.
“You can select a page from a 16th
century Shakespeare and a 20th-cen
tury page and see the differences in
type,” Rockett said. “I’m happy to get
students to write term papers (for
Early TUdor England) on subjects
during 1515 to 1535. For students,
this will accompany and sharpen
their research.”
The library’s cache of books is also
a great benefit to the faculty.
“Before we had it, the only way we
could access the books was to travel
and go to special collections in li
braries all over the world, like Lon
don and Oxford,” Rockett said. “Now
we can see the texts in our office. It
allows you to see how remarkable it
really is.”
One professor who is pushing
technology to the brink in the class
room is Jim Tice, an associate profes
sor of architecture. Tice has engi
neered a comprehensive map of
Notti, Rome, which contains 2,300
building entries at this point in its de
velopment. The map was created in
part by graduate student Eric Steiner,
who works for the InfoGraphics lab
at the Department of Geography.
Digitally remastering the map,
through the help of Mark Bremme
nan, has allowed the map to have in
formation through the entries, but it
also gives the map — known as “The
Holy Grail of Architecture,” Tice said
— better accessibility than its 6-by-7
foot paper copy.
“The map gives a Pompeii-like
view of the city, but it also shows the
lives of everyday people in Rome at
that time,” Tice said. “It has been
used in lecture classes and seminars
I teach.”
The map project began six years
ago and has grown in detail ever
since. Now as the map becomes
more comprehensive, it’s nearing a
public release in April that everyone
can access on the Department of Ar
chitecture’s Web site.
The seminar also reintroduced the
human element in technology educa
tion — that is, the infrastructure of
services among faculty members,
what is most effective to student
learning and what is simply a
flashy distraction.
TEP, along with CET, has intro
duced improvements for faculty to
enhance presentation and the infor
mation in and out of the classroom.
Many faculty members point to the
University's online “course manage
ment system” Blackboard as a pri
mary improvement for faculty-stu
dent communication.
Kassia Dellabough was one of the
first two professors to embrace Black
board in 1997 for her class Art and
Human Values — before this term the
class was taught in a classroom but
has since gone completely online.
She uses the system to share audio
samples, images important to the
class curriculum and video clips.
“Using Blackboard and Power
Point is crucial, otherwise it would
be just sending e-mails to each oth
er,” Dellabough said. “It’s been a
process of evangelizing (Blackboard)
to our faculty."
Dellabough said she makes up for
the lack of face-to-face communica
tion by utilizing the discussion
boards to communicate with her stu
dents on any given subject.
“I think part of it is a generational
thing,” Dellabough said. “For the fac
ulty over our 40s, we first started us
ing computers in our mid-20s. For
me, I was lucky that I was interested
in computers ever since. ”
To help faculty members that are
having difficulty with technology,
TEP Director Georgeanne Cooper
said she will employ student assis
tants if funding allows. The assistants
would help any professor having
technical difficulty and stay through
out the class to ensure technological
presentations run smoothly.
“I think faculty must be self-suffi
cient and be realistic about it without
expecting a magic genie to save any
problems,” Cooper said.

PFC: Budgets approved for two new organizations
Continued from page 3A
The Muslim Student Association’s
budget was approved at $1,976, a 19
percent decrease from last year due
to underspending.
Student Association for Women in
Architecture proposed a budget of
$600 — double last year’s budget.
Although it is a small budget, PFC
members said they are reluctant to
give the group that much when it
has yet to spend any money from
this year’s budget.
PFC passed a budget for SAWA of
$321, a 7 percent increase from
last year.
Two new organizations had their
budgets approved Monday night
with little trouble. The Oregon Inno
cence Network and the Pre-Pharma
cy Club’s budgets both passed at the
maximum first-year budget of $300.
The Students for Choice budget
was tabled until a later date because
of formality issues.
“The job descriptions are not de
scriptive enough,” said PFC mem
ber Eden Cortez.
Before wrapping up the evening,
PFC members passed a surplus fund
of $15,000 to be budgeted by the
Student Senate next year into
ASUO Programs funds for
unexpected expenses.
