Abstract

Explore two exciting new technologies for teaching and learning, Google Glass and 3D printing, through a case study from the University of Colorado Boulder and a "proof of concept" from the University of Texas at El Paso. See examples of how CU Boulder’s librarians have partnered with campus faculty to examine the applications of Google Glass in teaching and learning. Touch and feel real 3D-printed objects created by UTEP faculty member Dr. Michael Kolitsky, and learn how copyright and intellectual property laws come into play.
