From jballing at willamette.edu Mon Mar 5 13:54:37 2001 From: jballing at willamette.edu (John D. Balling) Date: Fri Jul 16 16:34:41 2004 Subject: Digital Tools in Music Workshop Message-ID: <3AA40B1D.E282D41D@willamette.edu> Please forward the following invitation to your music faculty and those technical staff who support your music programs. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- You are cordially invited to attend an workshop on the integration of digital tools into the music curriculum led by Michael Nord at Willamette University and funded by the M. J. Murdock Charitable Trust. INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY INTO THE MUSIC THEORY CURRICULUM This all day applied professional development workshop will provide participants with a model for the integration of technology into post-secondary music curricula. Two sets of issues will be addressed. The opening session of the workshop will focus on practical strategies for the design, creation, and management of a music technology lab. Issues to be addressed will include design conception and implementation, hardware and software issues, procurement, lab installation strategies, testing and optimizing, administration, maintenance, and forward planning. The second and longer session of the workshop will focus on curriculum. In hands-on fashion, workshop participants can expect to spend the session at computer workstations exploring a sequence of lesson strategies based on the curriculum model used with music theory students at Willamette University. This model is based on the notion that one can move toward development of both technology and theory competence by employing teaching strategies based on creative problem solving. While we will use Coda's Finale software, the model will be transposable to other of the commercial notation packages (e.g. Sibelius, Overture). The workshop will proceed from a philosophical and pedagogical stance suggesting that it is not merely the presence of technology, but rather the means by which it is engaged wherein lies the potential for improvement in learning. Time will be built into both sessions for Q&A, pursuit of related issues as determined by workshop participants, and peer to peer information sharing. Dates: Either Saturday, March 31, 2001 or Saturday, April 21, 2001 Times: 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM Location: Rogers Music Center Willamette University Salem, OR Registration Fee: None Expenses: Travel expenses and up to two nights lodging will be paid for all workshop participants. Registration: Space is limited, so please register, indicating the date you would like to attend, as soon as possible by filling out the web form at: http://www.willamette.edu/wits/workshops/techmusic.htm To register, you may also contact: Marti Morandi mmorandi@willamette.edu 503-370-6650 -------------------------------------------------------------------- John D.

From what we have been able to tell, it appears that Earthlink has routing problems getting to us. I'm wondering if any of you are having this problem as well, particularly those of you that still get access from Verio. Are any of you having similar problems? Earthlink is telling account holders that it must be a problem on our side so I'd like to be able to tell them it is larger than that if some of you are having problems as well.

The Conference will take place October 17th-20th at the Portland Marriott Downtown. Since this conferencee is happening in our back yard, I wanted to extend a special invitation to all of you to submit paper proposals for this conference. If you are doing something at your institution that you are proud of or feel that others con benefit from (be it success or not), then SIGUCCS may be the place to spread the word. A PDF version of the Call for Participation as well as the online submission form can be found at http://www.csus.edu/siguccs/program.htm. Also, feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Those of you who have already gone to a layer-3 switched environment, how has it worked out? Was it a good choice (and why)? Have there been any serious gotchas discovered after the fact, etc?

Fundamentally, there is no difference between the two concepts ("layer-3" switching is more a marketing term than an actual technology). However, with the Cisco 5500 we were able to implement VLANs on our network, which has significantly reduced the need for network in some situations (if you have three networks in one physical area, you pass all three VLANs to one switch, and then specify which port will carry which VLAN). This is possible because of Cisco 'router on a stick' concept, where the 5500 has a RSM module (route-switch module) that contains the actual router logic (and which almost doubled the cost of the device) and where individual ports can be arbitrarily configured for any VLAN. If traffic is directed at the 'network router', it is then shipped through the VLAN trunk (internal back plane of the 5500) to the RSM, and routed to the correct VLAN. Things we had trouble with included: 1) how the switching is implemented, 2) VLANS are only helpful if other devices in your network understand the technology as well, and 3) in Cisco's implementation, the RSM is abstracted from the actual physical interfaces on the device, and consequent ignorant of what ports have or have not been configured for a particular VLAN. In our case, since the 5500 is ONLY for the backbone of our network, we do not have ACL's or similar items configured, which ensures the Cisco device will still perform fast switching. If we were to implement any of Cisco's "firewall" technologies on the RSM, then it would have to fall-back to the 'older' method of routing, and speeds would be comparable to a regular router. I have no experience with other vendors, but have been very satisfied with Cisco for our router, and HP 4000M and HP 2424M switches for the remainder of the network.
