New Media Center

Even though it is summer time, we have not forgot about the starving students taking those summer classes. So in celebration of summer time and summer food we bring to you some digital media recipes.

Over at digitalmediacookbook.com you’ll find all sorts of helpful “recipes” to indulge in and perhaps you’ll even hold on to a couple of those recipes for future use. Every recipe comes with a video demo (screencast), ingredients, and directions. The creator of the cookbook, UMW’s New Media Specialist Andy Rush, has made it very easy to follow the recipes, even you digital media novices out there have nothing to fear.

Andy Rush is always working hard to find and create new recipes for this cookbook. So if you like what he has to offer make sure you send some comment or link love to let him know you want more recipes. Just as any good chef likes to recieve compliments, our new media specialist needs some lovin’ too.

This is just a quick post that will be used as an introduction to my New Media Buffet presentation. Actually this is old, new media, but the Video Toaster/Webcam Max/Ustream.tv was put into service once again this year to stream the events. We also recorded the video so that we can post them online for later viewing. As ever, I want to go back and review these sessions as soon as possible. I’ll update/blog/twitter when we get these videos up.

It’s that time just after the long and winding school year ends where we in DTLT push for a few more days to pull off our favorite conference known as Faculty Academy. This is my 11th FA, but the last few years have been the shining ones not just because of the great speakers we get, but for the amazing ways that faculty have taken to new media technoligies. The UMW New Media Center will attempt to showcase some of the ways faculty have implemented new media in their teaching in the coming year. If you get the chance we will be streaming the activities from the main hall live, which will include a keynote from James Boyle, and plenaries from Cole Camplese and Laura Blankenship. It will also include the entertaining Deck Wars as well as an unpredictable debate about whether the CMS is dead with Jim Groom and John St. Clair. Hope you can join us!
