New Audio & Video
Clips Available
at Campus-adr.org
Campus-adr.org now features
online media clips that can be useful as discussion or
training
tools. Enhancements in technology have allowed the Campus-adr
team to digitize older video and audio clips that were taped
years ago and were teetering close to "extinction."
We're pleased to be able to make these items available online
with the permission of the respective owners. The clips include
the
following:
West Virginia University Teleconference Videos
 Featured
in a 1989 teleconference sponsored by West Virginia University
and hosted by Howard Gadlin and Janet Rifkin, these short
simulations depict conflicts within the higher educational
context that might be appropriate for mediation. Examples
include: a Fraternity Conflict, a Roommate Conflict, a multiparty
Faculty/Student Conflict involving sexual harassment, and
a Residence Life conflict with potential racial overtones.
The clips are available online
for readers to view and discuss.
Conflict Resolution and Peaceful Progressive Change: A Guest
Presentation Series
 In
1984 whilst completing his BA in Conflict Resolution at UC
Santa Cruz, Dr. William (Bill) Warters organized and taught
his first for-credit academic course. The course was entitled
Conflict
Resolution and Peaceful Progressive Change, and it included
a series of Friday lectures that were open to the public.
These lectures were recorded and are now available
via the internet as mp3 files.
Allwyn Hall Video Clips
 Many
of our readers may have already seen or used the Allwyn
Hall skill training CD Rom developed by Martha Harty
at Carnegie Mellon University as part of a FIPSE grant.
The basic
scenario puts the viewer in the role of a Resident Assistant
who's goal is to try to be helpful using a three-step
problem-solving
model that closely resembles mediation. With Dr. Harty's
permission, we have posted several of the opening clips
that are used
to set up the scenarios. They are posted here: Allwyn
Hall Video Clips. The original CD is available for order
here.
