Professional Degrees

The University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) is an open enrollment university that offers vocational, academic, and professional degrees in a northern region. UAA serves a culturally and demographically diverse population. Given this diversity, students display varying levels of information literacy (IL) competencies. Library Professors Anna Bjartmarsdóttir and Deborah Mole partner with faculty teaching composition and communication courses to create increasingly sophisticated and transferable IL learning opportunities. Strategies include: assessing students’ IL competencies; creating engaging activities; integrating IL throughout the semester; developing reflection opportunities to reinforce IL skills. UAA librarians, partnered with faculty, integrate and scaffold IL activities in foundational GE courses to develop increasingly sophisticated, transferable IL skills and knowledge practices. From team-based learning application exercises to workshops for teaching assistants, students learn how creativity partnered with initiative has helped to integrate transferable IL skill education at this diverse arctic university.

The University

In 2006, the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) upgraded the telephone system at its main campus in Anchorage from a traditional private branch exchange (PBX) architecture to a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system. This case describes the organizational decisions that led to the change; the scope and the process of upgrading; and the current status of the new VoIP system. The actual migration to VoIP was completed less than a year after the start of the project. The transition process went smoothly. User satisfaction with the performance of the VoIP system is very high. Based on extensive interviews with decision makers and the technical personnel involved, this case also describes financial considerations (including “creative” ways to stretch a limited budget), outsourcing considerations, training related issues, as well as lessons learned.

Significant Shortage

Abstract Alaska, like the rest of the nation, has been experiencing a significant shortage of speech-language pathologists (SLPs). This shortage has been acutely felt in Alaska's public schools. Without an in-state graduate program, Alaska is unable to produce a qualified pool of candidates to fill SLP positions. This article will discuss a collaborative training program between the University of Alaska Anchorage and East Carolina University designed to address the SLP shortage in Alaska schools.

The University

The geographical distances in Alaska create a unique educational challenge that is shared by other areas in the world. A three-year project at the University of Alaska, Anchorage attempted to integrate the author's experiences in Alaska with the growing technology available in the state. Potential students in regions hundreds of miles away from an on-campus program were able to participate in a graduate level certification program maintaining the same accreditation standards as the on-campus program. The same faculty served both the on-campus and off-campus program employing video production, audioconferencing, audio cassettes and printed materials. Distance teacher education programs need to consider individual student needs such as preparation, motivation and resource assistance. Good instructional practices should be considered along with the potential of technology in order to produce quality programs.

Law Making

In 1970, a state-sponsored conference recommended that University of Alaska personnel initiate programs of research on "bush justice," including such areas as the character and processes of village law-making, judicial administration and law enforcement. I came to Alaska soon thereafter to begin research in these areas under the auspices of the University of Alaska's Institute of Social, Economic and Government Research. Since 1975, I have been working with the Justice Center at the University of Alaska, Anchorage.
