Online Event: Current and Evolving Accessibility Practices

EVENT: ONLINE WEBINAR
CURRENT AND EVOLVING ACCESSIBILITY PRACTICES

Online learning environments hold great promise for expanding access to education for students with time and geographic challenges. Providing a supportive learning environment involves considering the needs of a wide range of learners and instructors, including those with physical and cognitive disabilities or technical limitations. The ability to do this can be somewhat challenged within the structure of a course management system such as Blackboard (WebCT) Vista, as full control of the web interface may not be possible.

DATE AND TIME:
Tues., Oct. 21, 2008 at 10am PDT
TLP will host in MLIB 002 or sign up online at http://www.wimba.com/community/upcoming.php to watch from your own computer/office.

PRESENTED BY:
Afsaneh Sharif & Donna Scalzo, Office of Learning Technology, University of British Columbia, John Louviere & Neal Legler, Faculty Assistance Center for Teaching, Utah State University
This event is sponsored by Academic Technologies and the Technology and Learning Program. It is produced by (LCIN) Leading Campuses International Network (formerly WebCT Institutes group) of which CSU Chico is a member. For more information contact Laura Sederberg at 898-4326.

Free Show - Mentalist, Craig Karges, Oct. 22

Tables float, minds are read, metal bends, and imaginations are challenged when the award winning mentalist Craig Karges visits BMU Common Grounds on Wed., Oct. 22 at 8pm.

It is difficult to categorize Craig Karges. What he is and what he does is often the topic of a huge debate when he walks off stage. What isn’t a mystery is Craig’s popularity on the campus market. In fact, CNN Headline News said, “Craig Karges is the king of college campus entertainment!” The National Association for Campus Activities (NACA), the nation’s largest collegiate organization for student activities, has named Craig Campus Entertainer of the Year six times. Craig has also won NACA’s Variety Performer of the Year award for a record shattering twelve consecutive years.

Department of Theatre Presents "Ubu Roi" Next Week

Wed., Oct. 22 - Sat., Oct. 25 at 7:30pm
Sun., Oct. 26 at 2pm
Harlen Adams Theatre

Written by Alfred Jarry
Translated by Barbara Wright
Directed by Katie Whitlock

Murder, mayhem, madness … Playwright Alfred Jarry’s landmark piece parodies art, politics, and his high school physics teacher. When it premiered in 1896, the play created riots in the artistic community as it destroyed theatrical convention and introduced the ‘anti-hero’ Ubu, who murders his way to the throne. Ubu Roi presents a biting satire of political power and a cautionary commentary on the human condition wrapped in grotesque humor.

Tickets: University Box Office, 898-6333.

More information is available on the Web site.

Restorative Justice: A New Paradigm for Social Transformation

The CSU, Chico Peace Institute presents a lecture on Restorative Justice: A New Paradigm for Social Transformation, Mon., Oct. 20 at 7:30pm in PAC Room 134.

This lecture is in conjunction with this year’s CSU, Chico’s Book In Common, Three Cups of Tea, written by Greg Mortenson, and is geared to open the minds of readers to a new level of understanding, especially for those living in underprivileged communities.

This lecture features Azim Khamisa, an African born immigrant who migrated to the U.S. after being targeted by the late dictator Idi Amin. Khamisa explores the many possible responses to violent and costly anti-social behavior and suggests that responding to violence with understanding and non-violence will lead to social transformation. This theme of restorative justice echoes the experiences of Greg Mortenson.
