General Session
9 a.m. - 10:15 a.m.
Dr. Robert Bramucci
Vice Chancellor of Technology and Learning Services for South Orange County Community College District
Session Title: Are We Looking the Wrong Way? Lessons from Geese and Genghis Khan
Session Description: Since their inception, colleges and universities have focused on "top-down" initiatives. But the Internet provides revolutionary new ways of doing things in a "bottom-up" fashion, from Facebook and Twitter to open source software and crowdsourced problem-solving. Dr. Bramucci draws examples from the unlikeliest of places--ants and Apple computers, mackerel and mashups, and yes, geese and Genghis Khan--to show how we might focus our efforts in a more productive direction to tackle formerly-intractable problems in higher education.
Dr. Bramucci Bio: Before he became the Vice Chancellor of Technology and Learning Services for South Orange County Community College District, Dr. Bramucci spent fifteen years in the classroom. He serves on the state Educational Technology Advisory Committee to the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges and has been honored with the system’s highest award for technology leadership. Bob and his team just won a 2010 Campus Technology Innovator Award from Campus Technology magazine and their work was recently featured in The Chronicle of Higher Education.
