Crunch time

Crunch Time
4 weeks til reading day and so much to cover.  Desktop recording and/or classroom capture may be ways to review content as well as adding content to be discussed in class or for additional study resource.  All of our general classrooms have what I call the Mediasite Easy Button, just select Mediasite and press Record, put the microphone on, turn it on (needs to be blinking green) and that’s it.  Oh and let me know after the fact so the recording can be published.

 

VR in the News and at ECU!

About a month ago there was an email regarding setting up a VR Interest Group at ECU.  Various departments shared what they were doing and/or what they hope to do.  There will be a Lenovo VRAR demo on April 2 that I plan to attend.  My question is who is interested in pursuing this technology and what can I do to assist?  You might want to review this recent article from Campus Technology on How to Set up a VR Pilot  Perhaps we need to look into obtaining some VR equipment?  Any interest out there?

Want to take a peak?

And see what is coming.  Reminder there is a forum tomorrow at 3:00 in the “new” Black Box Theater!
