I started this blog with two purposes: teach myself what this “blogging” bru-ha-ha was all about and to see if putting my thoughts about economic news in public might be of interest or use in teaching my classes. Please keep in mind that back in 2008 the economic world was collapsing and we here in Michigan were at ground zero. The textbooks didn’t really have much to say about it. Well it was a rousing success. Students liked it. I liked it. I was hooked. And hooked is probably the right term. I kept going for bigger and bigger fixes. Next it was a self-hosted teaching portfolio & syllabus site at jimluke.com. Then it was trying to create a mini-MOOC (Little Open Online Course?) for my principles courses. Student success rose. Engagement rose. It was easier to manage. Then it was getting the students in on the fun. I let them blog and write in public for my two gen ed -oriented courses.
All this led to an opportunity this year to take some “re-assign time” to create an Open Learn Lab here at Lansing Community College. By the way, for the non-academics, “re-assign time” is a polite way of saying the school lets you cut back your teaching load by the equivalent of approximately a day a week in return for you devoting 2-3 days per week working on some additional project. Anyway, I did it. And now we’re doing it. The Open Learn Lab is modeled after the Domains Of One’s Own programs that were pioneered at University of Mary Washington and now at several (20-30?) major universities. We’re the first community college. I’m really excited.
Of course this means I’ll likely be blogging about some teaching, higher ed, and open learning topics now. But I hope to also keep blogging about economics (I still do teach some classes!). Anyway, here’s the presentation for the “coming out” party informational presentation on campus. Like most of my stuff, it’s Creative Commons licensed, BY-SA (attribution and share-alike).

If you make slide presentations with PowerPoint, Keynote, Slideshare, or other presentation software, WordPress can do much more than just provide a download-the-ppt link for interested readers.
There are several methods for embedding and displaying slide presentations in WordPress posts or pages. Some methods allow you to easily embed a presentation. Others go further and enable you to use WordPress to deliver live, full screen slide presentations without using PowerPoint or Keynote. You can even write, edit, and create a slide presentation within WordPress using the Post editor.
Jim Luke will demo and provide instructions on how you can easily use WordPress for slide presentations. He’ll also share tips for how to choose the right method. Many of these methods work for both WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress installations.
To register go to the Meetup Site.
The demo, basic info, instructions, etc are available here at a new post I created at Malartools.malartu.org on how to connect Powerpoint-style presentations with WordPress.

I’m speaking this Saturday, Oct 4, 2104, at WordCamp Ann Arbor 2014. Here’s the teaser from the schedule:
In developing an online voice, higher education faculty face many challenges and a distinct lack of institutional support. Yet there is an enormous opportunity to improve student learning, improve faculty productivity, and reduce costs for faculty through WordPress and related technologies.
Malartu Inc is a non-profit project launched in Michigan to help provide WordPress sites and technologies to higher ed faculty. After a couple of years of planning and experimentation, the project is launching its first sites in summer 2014 using a WP multi-site/multi-network installation. A BuddyPress/Commons-in-a-Box implementation is added to develop a social network space for collaboration within and between schools.
This session will explore the challenges, benefits, and risks of creating a multi-user / mulit-site community with social network features. The presentation is oriented towards: anyone in higher education and power users/developers interested in multi-site.
I’m talking about my recent experiences with my new project, Malartu Inc., a non-profit organization for creating social and web-based technology to help higher education professors be more effective and more productive – especially the legions of professors at teaching schools or that are adjunct.
Here are the slides:
