The second Faculty Tech Studio is at 3pm Friday, September 8th in McMichael 115. There will be a reception following at the Holland House. (Directly across the street - could this BE any more convenient?!?) The recording portion tends to be 20-30 minutes, with a nice session afterwards at the Ho House for chat and discussion. This week's topic is blogging (w00t!), and our guests are: Ashley Holmes, Lecturer, EnglishPrudence Layne, Assistant Professor, EnglishWayne Conley, Multimedia Developer, IDD Many faculty members are using blogs in their teaching activities. There are two main ways that we have seen blogs being used in concert with other classroom technologies up until now:By faculty themselvesas a "faculty member home page"as a class home page, with comments to students, daily assignments, etcBy students, for regular in-class or out-of-class writing assignments Our questions this week focus on these and other uses of blogs for the college classroom. What about comments - when are they appropriate? Do students have concerns about their privacy? What sorts of writing work best with blogs? Is there a difference between high-stakes and low-stakes blogging assignments? What should a faculty member who is a veteran blogger know about the newest blogging tools? (And hey, should I be annoyed or thrilled about the new blogger beta?!?) On the flip side, what should a faculty member know if s/he is just getting started with blogging?

Episode Two: To Blog or Not to Blog?

Just kidding about that "menace" bit. That was just a shout-out to our 3 Star Wars fans out there. Ok, so this week we're discussing the PRS boom. PRS stands for "personal response system", also known as "audience response system" or simply, "the clickers". We'll be asking in-depth questions to 2 Elon faculty members about using these devices in classrooms: Kyle Altmann, Assistant Professor in the department of physics, and the A.L. Hook Emerging Professor of Science and Mathematics. Joel Karty, Assistant Professor in the department of chemistry, and author of The Nuts and Bolts of Organic Chemistry: A Student's Guide to Success.

RSC-MP3: Interview with Colin Dalziel about the next version of PebblePad #eportfolio

Welcome the the return of RSC-MP3. The RSC-MP3 series has evolved over time and in it’s latest incarnation I’m re-joined by Kevin Brace in his new role of Associate Head of Technology Enhanced Learning at Aston University.
We had a long old catch up/information sharing session and over the next couple of months I’m going to chuck our conversation, pulling out information you might find useful. For our first chuck we talk about funding, in particular JISC funding for educational and institutional projects. Kevin talks about his recent experience of submitting an unsuccessful bid which was going to collect international best practice in e-Portfolios and I talk about my experience on the other end as a bid marker.
The podcast is available via the usual methods and as a variation on the SoundCloud timeline commenting I’ve used my own uTitle to bookmark the audio uploaded to Vimeo. If you have a Twitter account please feel free to add your own comments.

Also linked to from this page is RSC Northwest guidance on bid writing tool which headlines some questions you should ask yourself before planning and submitted funding proposals [biggest tip I can give is to read the marking criteria/weighting].
You might also find the RSC Wales Quick Guide to Funding useful particularly the section on ‘Resources from Funding event 6 July 2010′ section which an overview of the JISC bidding process and some tips and tricks.
To get an idea of funding available from JISC over the next 12 months they recently released the Roadmap of future grant funding and Roadmap of Future Invitations to Tender [for fans of Twitter we use the @rsc_ne_scotland account to tweet funding calls (as well as news/events from other JISC Services)].
JISC also allowed open access to the Programme Information Management System (PIMS). This was previously available to “JISC Executive staff only and is a record of all JISC-funded programmes and projects, from the year 2000 onwards”.
More information about the JISC Elevator proposal as a new funding mechanism is available on the mock-up site. If you want to leave feedback on this idea:

RSC-MP3: HE Update Aug 2010: Funding

This month for RSC-MP3 I interview Andrew Comrie, the Director of the Edinburgh, Lothians, Fife and Borders Regional Articulation Hub (ELRAH). ELRAH is one of the five regional hubs being funded by the Scottish Funding Council (SFC) to support and enhance opportunities for students to use there qualifications to gain direct entry into years 2 or 3 of university degree programmes.
As part of this interview Andrew explains how ELRAH is supporting students using a combination of face-to-face support and virtual resources such as student-generated podcasts, as well as the creation of a national database of articulation routes. Andrew also describes how ELRAH is exploring non-traditional articulation routes from the workplace to university

RSC-MP3: HE Update: Interview with Andrew Comrie [Articulation/Progression]

RSC-MP3 is a monthly audio podcast highlighting some Higher Education focused e-learning news, interviews and resources brought to you by Kevin Brace (JISC RSC West Midlands) and Martin Hawksey (JISC RSC Scotland North and East). As ever we have summarised links to the various topics we discuss and indicate the timestamps so you can jump straight to our insightful repertoire. You can listen to this podcast on your computer, or when “on the move” by adding it to your ipod playlist. Here is an archive of our recordings, which is also available on iTunes.
In this the final instalment of RSC-MP3 in it’s current format, Martin discusses the relative merits of outputs of the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE – pronounced Nessie) as compared to the UK’s National Student Survey. Martin talks about some of the ”high impact learning activities” identified by the NSSE which includes using authentic research in teaching and learning, a technique used by US practitioner Professor Michael Wesch. Meanwhile Kevin highlights the virtues of low cost video cameras including some case studies in teaching and learning as well as some technical considerations you should make before blowing your year end underspend. Kevin also discusses some of the ALT/eLN webinars in particular reviewing the session on  why e-Learning projects go wrong. Final Kevin rounds off with a book review on the eportfolio platform Mahara.
As a finale to this current chapter of the “Kevin & Martin” show, we discuss our approaches and methods of creating discussion based podcasts, hoping to inspire others to do the same.  Kevin is leaving the RSC for pastures new, so we both hope that these past 10 episodes have proved inspiring to all. Above all we hope to have provided you with some tasty morsels,tips, tricks, and exemplars of effective practice you can take and use in your own organisations. We have thoroughly enjoyed making these educational podcasts, and we hope you’ve enjoyed them to? For our final piece of advice; don’t be afraid to have a go at any of the subjects we cover. Try things out, adapt and refine them for your situation and your learners needs. But above all, ensure there’s a strong pedagogic driver for any technology you choose to adopt.

“Technological convergence – changing the way we create, consume, learn and interact with each other”
This month Martin responds to a listener request and discusses Google’s latest social feature Buzz. Buzz has been designed to make sharing easier, linking to Google other services including YouTube and Reader as well as third party networks like Twitter and Facebook. We conclude that whilst Buzz is currently of limited benefit to the majority of educationalists it is another example of how the interlinking of separate communication and media streams has the potential to benefit formal and informal learning, technological convergence ‘changing the way we create, consume, learn and interact with each other’. An example of this convergence is outlined in Martin’s recent work which allows twitter discussions made during television broadcasts to be replayed as subtitles in BBC iPlayer downloads.
Aspects of ‘convergence’ are further highlighted by Kevin has he discusses his months blog posts which includes his reflections on the recent Learning Technologies Conference and the JISC Business and Community Engagement programme. In particular Kevin highlights the growing importance of both informal and “rapid e-learning”, discussing some of the tools which can be used to facilitate and measure its impact as well as highlighting some effective practice case studies.
Kevin also highlights JISC’s Business and Community Engagement programme which is “designed to support institutions in their strategic management of relationships … in order to deliver services which benefit the economy and society”. This programme is a response to the Governments desire to enhance knowledge transfer/exchange and Kevin discusses some examples of this happening locally in the West Midlands and nationally. This also links to Kevin’s interview with Ian Hart who is Head of Schools and Colleges Partnerships at University of Wolverhampton. Click here for the interview with Ian Hart.

Form I-751Late Filing
In a previous post we discussed conditional permanent residence and the need for timely filing  an I-751 petition to remove the conditions within  90 days prior to the two year anniversary of being granted conditional status.
We also mentioned that jointly filed petitions  may be filed late where you can demonstrate good cause and extenuating circumstances.
This post sparked a lot of followup questions about exactly what qualifies for “good cause” and “extenuating circumstances” and how late is too late, etc.
Well, unfortunately there is no clear answer here. What we can say is that it is possible to file form I-751  years past the deadline and still have USCIS accept and approve the petition so long as you have not already received an Notice to Appear (NTA) in immigration court proceedings. (and, it may still be possible to file with USCIS during proceedings).
Because the decision to accept your late filing is discretionary you really need to take the time to clearly explain the circumstances that have led to the delayed filing.  And, while it is impossible to predict, we have heard of cases where Form I-751 late filing  (i.e., jointly  filed) petitions have been accepted and approved over a decade after the filing deadline.

Form I-751 Late Filing Issues

If you think of anything I left out of this post, please feel free to put that on the comment.

Late Filing Issues: Form I-751

What is Conditional Permanent Residency?
All foreign nationals who were married less than two years at the time they were granted permanent residence status (i.e., a green card) obtain what is known as conditional permanent residency status. The same applies to their derivative children.
This conditional status is virtually the same as an unconditional permanent residence status except that the conditional immigration status expires two years from the date it was granted. Accordingly, green cards issued in such cases will reflect an expiation date two years from the date it was issued.
Why does USCIS grant conditional permanent residency status?
In order to prevent marriage fraud, Congress enacted laws that effectively treat all marriage based applicants for permanent residency as suspect where the underlying marriage is less than two years at the time of approval and admission.
How do I remove the conditions to my green card?
To remove this conditional permanent residency status you will need to file a petition using Form I-751 to have the condition removed within 90 days prior to the two year anniversary of being granted conditional status. While USCIS will typically mail you a reminder, it is the your responsibly alone to timely file the petition. We suggest that you mark your calendar with a reminder approximately 20 months from the date your conditional green card status was issued.
What happens if I forget to file within the 90 day filing period?
Failure to timely and properly petitioning to remove the condition may lead to your removal (deportation) from the United States. USCIS may accept a late I-751 petition may but you will need to demonstrate good cause and extenuating circumstances for filing late. The acceptance of a late I-751 petition is discretionary and may be denied. Timely filing to remove your conditional permanent residency status is extremely important
Is filing an I-751 all that is required of me?
No, in addition to Form I-751 you will also need to submit sufficient supporting documents that would tend to demonstrate the validity of your ongoing marriage.
Must my U.S. citizen spouse file and sign the petition with me?
Yes, your spouse must sign the I-751 petition with you. But, there are a few exceptions:

 Good Faith Marriage Exception – If you have divorced prior to the two-year anniversary of obtaining conditional permanent residency, you may request a good faith marriage waiver by selecting the appropriate box on Form I-751. Petitioners seeking this waiver may file at anytime, before or even after the two year anniversary of admission.


Battered Spouse / Child Exception – If you are a battered spouse or child, you may also self petition to remove the conditional permanent residency to your green card.


Extreme Hardship Exception – If you can demonstrate that you, your child or even a subsequent spouse would face an extreme hardship, you may self portion to have the conditions removed.

 
Do I need an attorney to assist me in removing conditional permanent residency?
Based on our experience we believe that it is highly advisable to have a qualified immigration attorney assist you with this important stage in the immigration process. USCIS takes its role in eliminating marriage fraud seriously. Even where marriages are bona fide, improperly filed petitions to remove conditional permanent residency status or weak applications may lead to delays, denials and ultimately deportation.
Please feel free to contact us for assistance.

Immigration Marriage Fraud
Marriage Fraud is a big issue with USCIS. Last week I came across an article that surprised me. It said that U.S. immigration officers were ”snooping” on  social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace Twitter and a host of others to check marriage fraud. While I am against marriage fraud I began to wonder if the same sources used by investigators could be equally useful in demonstrating bona fide martial relationships.
Social networking sites in so many ways have changed the way people meet in general. And these sites have even helped spark many a romantic relationship that has lead to marriage.
Marriage Fraud is Rare
While there are no doubt a few unscrupulous individuals they prey upon the lonely and desperate with immigration / marriage fraud as their goal, the fact is that many have found their true love and soul mate on the Internet. In fact, the overwhelming majority of immigration based marriages are bona fide marriages based on traditional values of love and affection.
So when it comes to marriages between foreign nationals and U.S. citizens (or permanent residents), it is becoming more and more common to find couples that have, at least initially, met and developed their relationships via social networking sites.
Do Not Engage In Marriage Fraud
According to immigration law there is absolutely nothing wrong with one marrying knowing that they will be obtaining an immigration benefit—so long as it is not the sole or primary purpose of the marriage.
With this in mind, prospective applicants for marriage based lawful permanent residency (i.e., green cards), should be aware that their record of communication between each other on Facebook and Twitter, etc. may actually present them with a new opportunity to better document and demonstrate how their relationship developed.
In fact, much of what is communicated between individuals on social networking sites is tantamount to public record and is available for nearly all to see–including DHS and U.S. Embassy interviewers and investigators. That is why it is such a great investigate tool. But it should also be used to aid in demonstrating a true, bona fide marriage and not only to uncover marriage fraud,
In cases where applicants have scant evidence of their valid relationship, they should take the time and effort to obtain additional documentary evidence  including offering evidence of their social network communications, emails, text messages, etc., in addition to the traditionally accepted evidence in order to avoid allegations of marriage fraud

Goldman & Loughlin, PLLC  Immigration Lawyers interview comments on the DHS’s plans to possible terminates as many as 17,000 removal cases.
When asked to comment on this ground breaking policy change, immigration attorney Peter J. Loughlin said “It is a common sense approach to immigration reform that has been far too long in the making—but welcome nonetheless. 
According to the firm’s senior partner, Thomas W. Goldman, “The reason for the government’s huge backlog of cases (248,000 nationwide) is that so many of these proceedings are brought against immigrants with no criminal background and who pose little or no threat to the nation–instead of focusing on those with a criminal or terrorist history.
As great as this new policy seems to be, Loughlin is quick to point out that, “While several of the law firm’s clients currently in proceedings may benefit by being able to file for a green card if their immigration court case is terminated, the vast majority across the country may not be eligible.
Goldman added that “many of the proceedings to be terminated may be in cases where the respondents are not eligible to legalize their status at all. This would place them in a limbo status where they would simply return to living a lacuna of sorts until the government decides what to do with them.”
