Lunch Keynote

Dave King has been involved in high-tech entrepreneurship since the early 1990s. He has over 15 years experience in all aspects of software development, from system architecture to large-scale database design to the psychology of user interfaces and management of Agile development teams. Dave helped pioneer paperless manufacturing information systems in the electronics industry, then focused on designing extensible software systems for ad hoc visualization and analysis of large-scale multidimensional datasets. In 2011, Dave saw the need for a more modular and cross-disciplinary approach to data science and founded Exaptive, Inc. in order to pursue ways that technology and community can be combined to facilitate innovation. In 2015, his company was named as one of five Cool New Vendors in the life sciences by Gartner and an Innovator of Year by the Journal Record and in 2016 was selected by the Bloor Group as one of the top 10 companies and technologies to watch, as well as the Most Promising New Business from the Oklahoma Venture Forum.

Supporting 3D/VR in Academic Research and Instruction at OU Libraries: Challenges and Future Directions Pt. 1

This presentation will discuss work being conducted at OU Libraries to develop strategies and best practices for supporting 3D/VR technologies in research and instruction. It focuses primarily on the data curation and preservation challenges that these new digital tools present. Starting in January 2016, OU Libraries has been deploying a network of VR workstations across the Norman campus. Since then, Emerging Technology Librarians have successfully integrated VR into courses and research applications in diverse fields such as architecture, structural biology, anthropology, and medical imaging, demonstrating the capabilities of VR to enhance spatial thinking, visual literacy, and embodied information acquisition in a variety of contexts. Along with these new academic potentials of 3D/VR, emerge new challenges, including how to properly document and manage 3D research data throughout the research lifecycle, and how to support complex configurations of hardware and software as they change over time. This presentation will draw from real-world experiences of deploying 3D/VR in research and teaching to suggest some strategies and future directions for 3D/VR implementation.

Game Design as Pedagogy

Games are an increasingly common part of classroom education. Whether we’re gamifying the structure of a course or bringing in a game to teach a particular concept, the interactivity increases student engagement and creates memorable learning experiences. In this presentation, we will discuss strategies for enabling students to design games. Building games as a course project challenges students to identify and teach the key concepts in course material. This design challenge seeks to facilitate transference while students produce games that are memorable and reusable.

Overview of The National Environmental Simulation and Testing (NEST) Facility

The infrastructure of the United States is composed of more than $4T in weather susceptible components. The ability to create physics based weather phenomena to test the susceptibility of these components is limited in most cases to a single phenomenon and on a small scale. Our project, the National Environmental Simulation and Testing (NEST) facility is to develop a capability where equipment manufacturers can bring their equipment for full-scale, multi-phenomena, repeatable, and replicable environmental testing. A collocated feature of the NEST will be a Computational Collaboratory which will utilize sophisticated computer models to simulate and calibrate against, and extend the capabilities of physical experiments in the NEST. In addition to product testing, our facility will support the State of Oklahoma, the region, and the mission of University of Oklahoma by providing economic development, furthering our leadership in Weather and Radar development, and an education and research capability. The size of the facility creates a space where multiple tests with multiple weather phenomena can be accomplished simultaneously. The range of industries being targeted for testing include aviation, power grid, packaging, transportation, construction, crop resilience, fire dynamics, and communications. Rain, wind, hail, diurnal cycles, extreme temperature, altitude, high pressure, anechoic, acoustic, structural, and vibration testing capabilities will be included. The size of the facility will provide the flexibility and reconfigurability to perform testing today, tomorrow, and for the next 50 years.

Automating data collection and website generation to celebrate undergraduate research

Adding content to a website can be time consuming, especially when you are asking many people to contribute simultaneously. The Office of Undergraduate Research is using Drupal, an open-source platform for the development and administration of web content, to collect information from students to then showcase their research and creative projects online. The data collection is swift, and the development of their personal page is automatically created. This demonstration will show how O.U.R.’s website Curiosity2Creativity.net, a website built on the OU Create platform, collected information and translates it into a static webpage the individual can reference in the future.

The Discover Onesearch Tool

The libraries offer a rich set of special collection materials, research guides, electronic resources, even subject experts who can help with research needs.

Domains Inside Canvas? Bring Your Course Website/Blog Into Canvas

Integrating a course website/blog into your Canvas course is an opportunity to showcase and share student work within a classroom. Whether students are blogging, contributing to a research website, building a course textbook, generating a wiki, or creating some other web materials, these resources can be integrated directly into a Canvas course using a domain. (Please note, this applies beyond Canvas as other Learning Management systems include similar features like D2L’s “custom homepage.”)This session brings together a demonstration of the setup process, highlighting the requirements to accomplish this integration, along with a discussion that seeks to brainstorm possible domain-LMS relationships with participants and answer their use case questions. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with the reasoning behind using this strategy and what domains in the classroom can mean for their curriculum.
