TLC Classes Nearing End of Semester

The Teaching and Learning Center classes are nearing the end of the semester. Next Tuesday myself and Najib will be in Albuquerque for a full days worth of Microsoft training. Najib will also be out of the office the last week of the month. He will be at a Sonic Foundry seminar learning more about our Media Site systems. The Media Site Systems are staged and should be live before the summer semester starts.

In topics classes on the Podcasting class remains. It will be held next Monday (4/20/09) only!

Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 is still in full swing, however the Outlook 2007 class has been canceled. Currently it is under discussion whether or not we will have summer Microsoft classes. If you really need them let us know.

Reminder Photoshop CS3 does not end until May 7th. We will be upgrading our Adobe suite after that class.

Only three Seminar classes remain, they are: Adobe Connect, Web CT and Developing an Online Class. Have you completed these classes yet?

Lastly, OSET will be on campus April 30th to do some training. Get with Jami Huntsinger if your interested in more information.

Good Morning from the Blogging 101 Class

Say good morning class.

Child Care Center Closing

News yesterday that the Child Care Center here on Valencia Campus will be closing due to lack of funds. I know it may be one of the most used services on this campus. Too bad seeing the kids (best students?) leaving campus I know lots of our students needed their services.

One bright point with it is our nursing program (new) will be moving into the child care center after it is refitted.

What Classes?

So I guess no one likes MS Outlook 2007. Dang, cool program. So we will be running a "very" abreviated course schedule this summer. What classes are you interested in seeing?

Too many tools?

2nd life, Twitter, Facebook and MySpace, are there too many tools out there? I know we can use them but how? Then you add blog's and wiki's, sometimes to much to keep up with!

Burning DVD's

Burning DVD's of the multi-media presentation I put together for Miriam Gustafson. How come Vista does not like to burn DVD's? Been through 3 already and not one "good" copy yet!

Class'

We have a few classes that have just started. Have you signed up for your classes from the Teaching and Learning Center?

Also, anyone interested in specific topic classes next fall please let Philip know. leimbach@unm.edu or 5-8556 on campus.

Distance/Online Education

With new markets needing to be explored how many of you are interested in developing skills for teaching Online and or Distance Education courses? How many of you are working on these very issues now?

Did you know?

The Teaching and Learning Center has staged 27 Sonic Foundry Capture systems in classrooms throughout campus? With the goal of having them ready for lecture capture by the Summer semester.

In addition there will be additional rooms wired with cameras an microphones for mobile capture systems!

Are you ready?
