No publisher geoff Presentation 2008-07-29T21:04:54Z Event http://newmedia.engl.iastate.edu/about/mediakit/press_releases/moodle_brown_bag.html We will be holding the first Moodle Brown Bag Lunch next Friday (January 19) at noon in the Studio for New Media (Ross 316). Bring your lunch and meet up with other faculty members, lecturers, and TAs who have been using Moodle in their classes. We have no set agenda for this event, and there will be no formal presentation to interrupt, so feel free to come and go as your schedule allows. In short, the Studio will be full of a bunch of us eating lunch and sharing tips for using Moodle in a range of English department courses, from first-year composition to graduate-level seminars. If this message, with its overuse of the term Moodle (which my spell-checker has now flagged nine times), has left you slightly bewildered, you can find out more at the English Department's Courses site: http://courses.engl.iastate.edu We hope to see you at the Brown Bag next Friday and on the new email list!

No publisher geoff Workshop 2008-07-29T21:04:54Z Event http://newmedia.engl.iastate.edu/about/mediakit/press_releases/archived/podcasting_at_isu.html Thursday, Feb. 23, from 1:10 to 2:30 PM the Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching is sponsoring a very informal forum to showcase campus projects using podcasting for audio and video. The goal is to have a sharing and discussion session so we can see real-world examples of podcasting at ISU and talk about how this technology might evolve to serve the clients of Iowa State. The session will be in 1230 Communications Building. No publisher geoff Meeting 2008-07-29T21:04:54Z Event http://newmedia.engl.iastate.edu/about/mediakit/press_releases/archived/using_the_studio.html A brown-bag lunch meeting to be held actually in the Studio for New Media, this session will begin with Geoffrey Sauer showing participants how some of the less-obvious equipment in the Studio works. Included such tools as the DVD-video recorder, software for converting VHS and DVD media to editable formats, examples of how to use less-familiar equipment such as the FireWire and USB switches, the CD/DVD printer, the laptop bay, and the VNC remote networking. After he's shown a few of the less-familiar technologies, other Studio members will be invited to show attendees what *they've* learned to use in the Studio.

Please consider attending. No publisher geoff Meeting 2008-07-29T21:04:54Z Event http://newmedia.engl.iastate.edu/about/mediakit/press_releases/archived/rewiring_the_studio.html The initial setup for the Studio involved a variety of devices, but in the past semester we've added quite a bit of new technology. And some of the original cables (USB, FireWire, audio and video and power cables) are loose, and tangled, and some of the components are too far from one another to enable reliable digital video and audio work. So I'd like to take apart the wiring for the equipment, and reorganize some of the furniture, and then reassemble things with the wiring more effectively organized, with fewer extension cords and fewer tangled wires. If you'd like to stay to help, it'll be an excellent chance to see how the equipment is actually all connected together. No publisher geoff Work 2008-07-29T21:04:53Z Event http://newmedia.engl.iastate.edu/about/mediakit/press_releases/archived/home_page_video.html On Friday at noon, I'd like to videotape briefly about a one-minute shot of the Studio, with people inside working on multimedia projects of various sorts, for use on the Studio home page ( http://newmedia.engl.iastate.edu/ ). You'll notice the current photo is a still shot of our old Carver Hall offices, with the door sign edited in Photoshop to show our new office address. If you look at the websites from some of my past courses ( http://courses.eserver.org/s04/410x/ or http://courses.eserver.org/s04/313/ ) you'll see what I have in mind for this video: about a minute of silent video, which shows a bit of the character of the place. Perhaps some stills may be used in future promotional materials. So please come to the Studio at noon on Friday if you'd like to be in the video. I'll just walk in with the camera, pan around the room briefly. Then I'll do the capture, editing and compression directly afterwards on the Studio Mac, and will post the streaming video to the website, so if you'd like to see how that's done, please feel free to stay and watch/help.

After the presentation, the floor will be open for questions and answers and discussion about electronic publishing in general, or EServer projects in particular.

One of these products is designed to teach medical diagnostic problem solving - a very complex and difficult diagnostic process that can challenge both novices and practicing clinicians. The second software tool is designed to teach veterinary students how to make blood smears - a simple psychomotor task that similarly can prove challenging to both novices and practitioners. In both cases, empirical and qualitative studies demonstrated that these computer-based tools produced better learning outcomes than similar alternative teaching/learning approaches. Each tool will be demonstrated and described in terms of the theoretical ideas relevant to addressing specific learning needs. Evaluation processes and results also will be discussed.
