New web site for EASL

Last week saw some fun new developments for the active learning space(s) at Auburn University.

1.  A mini crowd sourcing, using facebook, yielded some potential new names for the space as incubator is just not quite cutting it for the long haul.  With EASL and EAGLE acronyms, we moved into a spirited email vote and discussion of what name we should adopt -- LEAP was added during that discussion, and after two rounds of voting the narrow winner emerged:  EASL aka Engaged Active Student Learning.
So, our EASL rooms and spaces can be seen as the connection to Canvas, and a scaffold for creation.

2.  We now have one Youtube video live, and some more in the works that showcase our first EASL space:

3.  Our joint proposal for a poster session at the next ELI (Educause Learning Initiative) conference in February 2014 was accepted, so hopefully we will have some more news by then about the results the classroom has yielded so far.  And yes, now waiting to hear the verdict on my IRB proposal.
