4:00 p.m.–6:00 p.m. | Stapleton Library Ground Floor We will hold a screening of the documentary RiP!: A Remix Manifesto from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 16th, on the ground floor of Stapleton Library. After the screening, a panel of faculty members will lead a discussion on remix culture and copyright. For those who are unfamiliar, remix culture refers to art that combines fragments of former works to create a new work. Sometimes fragments can be literal fragments (like when hip hop songs sample an older song) or sometimes they can just be references to former works (like how the film Clueless parallels the Jane Austen novel, Emma). Our faculty panel includes resident copyright expert, Carl Rahkonen, as well as Bob Sweeny from Fine Arts, Zack Stiegler from Communications Media, and Alexis Lothian from English. Faculty emerita, Rosay Roffman, may also participate. The goal is to bring awareness to the issue of copyright, particularly in the digital age, as well as collaboration and dialogue between content creators. |

All Day
| All entries for the fifth annual Library Video Contest must be received by 4:30 p.m. |
3:35 p.m.–4:50 p.m. | Stabley 210 On Wednesday, April 17, 2013, Timothy Runge, of the Department of Educational and School Psychology, will present a session on Formative Assessment from 3:35–4:50 p.m. in Stabley 210.
Runge will teach us how to create a more engaging classroom—one in which we can teach at students’ appropriate instructional levels by using various polling technologies. Runge will focus on the use of Polleverywhere.com technology to assess students’ mastery of course content either during or before class. Data from these activities are then used to modify instruction that is matched to students’ needs. Low-technology options for polling students’ course mastery will also be discussed. |

All Day
| Stapleton Library Ground Floor Mike Sell from the English Department has organized an inter-arts symposium scheduled for Thursday, with the following events:
- A panel discussion on inter-arts collaboration with dance educator and choreographer Holly Boda (IUP Department of Theatre and Dance), poet Rosaly Roffman (Emerita, IUP Department of English Studies), and David Berlin. Berlin, Boda, and Roffman have collaborated on multiple projects, and their experiences with the challenges and opportunities of collaboration are surprising and enlightening. This discussion will be recorded and transcribed for inclusion in Archiving Rosaly Roffman, a special issue of the journal Works and Days.
- A poetry reading by Rosaly Roffman of poems used in the works she has created with Berlin and Boda.
- A screening of Triptych, a film of the three-part collaborative intermedia project created by IUP emerita Professor of English Rosaly Roffman, David Berlin, Holly Boda, and IUP dance students. |
