If you are concerned about the price of textbooks, you might want to consider this group called Flat World Knowledge. Educators that dislike publishers write and publish their own. They are not fancy but are current and quite good. Here is the URL. http://www.flatworldknowledge.com/

This presentation will introduce briefly the resources available to faculty at Sac State. It will also discuss the institute goal to discuss emerging and upcoming technologies that can have impact on teaching, but that are not currently available at the University. We will encourage experimentation and evaluation of new technologies, but will also caution that faculty should be prepare to spend more time when experimenting.

Dr. Diego Bonilla and Dr. Dennis Dalhquist Technically, a wiki could be simply described as a website in which many participants can create, edit and interlink web pages in an easy way. The editing of web pages happens right on the browser through a basic word processing toolbar, an editing system normally referred to as WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). As a technology, it is not dazzling; it is almost like returning to basic word processing. Conceptually, a wiki is a collaborative document in an online environment with extraordinary capabilities to redefine how we work together and how we interact with our students. Initially, the benefits of working collaboratively and simultaneously from multiple remote locations in a shared document are difficult to grasp. Nevertheless, once habituated to the dynamics of a wiki, constructing and developing a body of knowledge within a specific subject is of great educational impact. In this session, we will cover how these collaborative documents have great potential as tools for class-related work and as adequate electronic environments for faculty members to work out informational tasks.
