    Developing, Writing and Teaching Case Studies in Philanthropic Studies
    (2022-11-10) Danahey Janin, Pat
    Teaching philanthropic studies globally requires an understanding of how context influences the nonprofit sector around the world (Casey, 2023). Cases studies allow students to peer into a situation and consider a decision-making process to understand how contexts, individuals, and processes influence outcomes. This poster presents my 5-step process of developing, writing, and teaching a teaching case study for an original elective course on philanthropy and the ocean for an international undergraduate student body. It highlights a pedagogical practice to enhance learning through active engagement, international examples, and connecting international students in the classroom.

    iTeaching and Learning: Collegiate Instruction Incorporating Mobile Tablets
    (Library Technology Reports, 2012-03) Miller, Willie
    Mobile tablets will revolutionize higher education instruction across the academy, in some instances providing new solutions to accepted instructional limitations, in others eliminating unacknowledged hindrances, and in still others creating new challenges. Instructors at Indiana University--Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) have been using iPads for instruction, including library instruction, since the fall of 2010. An eight-member group of faculty in art, music, communication studies, tourism management, physical education, education, organizational leadership and supervision, and the University Library have pioneered the institution's use of mobile tablets, iPads, in the classroom. Chapter 9 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 48, no. 8) "Rethinking Reference and Instruction with Tablets" provides insights into how these and other disciplines are using iPads to create new transformative learning experiences. This chapter includes findings of a study on student perceptions of learning and engagement during instruction incorporating the use of iPads across disciplines.

    The Future of Philanthropy: Technology Integration for the Public Good
    (2024-03) Miyakozawa, Arisa; Herzog, Patricia Snell; Badertscher, Katherine; Onishi, Tamaki
    The purpose of the study is to understand the influence of technological changes on philanthropic community partners. The scholarly literature on the use of technology by philanthropic organizations is limited. The first objective is to understand the impact of technological innovation on philanthropic organizations as community partners. The second objective is to consider the future work in the philanthropic sector. To achieve these objectives, this research adopted qualitative research methods: informational interviews were conducted with representatives of philanthropic organizations that are integrating technology. Additionally, analysis incorporated organizational profiles, missions, and information about the issues these organizations seek to address. These interviews informed case studies that show five themes. The five key themes for the future of philanthropy are: the role of technology, the irreplaceable human touch, the importance of community, accessibility to data and software, and the promotion of transparency. Finally, based on these themes four recommendations are given for future workers - students and job seekers - looking for opportunities in the philanthropic sector. The contribution of this thesis is providing initial insights on the use of technology by philanthropic organizations, how they envision the future, and what the implications are for emerging philanthropy practitioners.
