[ED-TECH] Sound Booths for Recording

Hi everyone,

 

I am looking for a good vendor for ordering a sound proof booth for recording audio. At this time, the audio we are thinking about is something like voiceovers for teaching and learning materials, but also a quiet space to conduct webinars.

 

I’ve seen specs from the company Vocal Booth (http://www.vocalbooth.com) but was wondering if anyone has any other company or solution.

 

Thank you!

Bryanna

[ED-TECH] Educause sessions available on-demand - Two MUST WATCH sessions!

Watch the publicly streamed sessions of Educause ON-DEMAND! These are primarily presentations of 50 minutes, with a few general sessions that lasted 60 or 90 minutes. If you can set aside the time, please take a look at the list of sessions at http://goo.gl/3Q27f and see if any interest you. If you can set aside the time, please watch them and think about how the information can be used by us, at UM.

I highly recommend the first two sessions on the list: IT as a Course Academic Competence by Clay Shirky (ignore the title – this talk is for everyone, not IT people), and Disrupting College by Michael B. Horn. They both talk about on-line learning and how it is changing higher education. I consider both of these MUST WATCH sessions as we think about how UM might adjust because of the wide available of on-line learning. 

[ED-TECH] Educause events AT YOUR DESK

Ed-Tech mailing list members,

On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week you can watch a number of the EDUCAUSE sessions right from your desk. If you are interested in technology in higher education, you should try to find time in your crowded schedule to take advantage of this incredible resource.

[ED-TECH] Technology Enhanced Learning (including on-line/distance learning) events

Ed-Tech mailing list members,

Next week on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, there will be a series of on-line presentations about technology in higher education. I will send out more details later, but I wanted to let you know that this will be happening and give you the titles of the sessions that will be available in Richter Library, Room 305 (the Faculty Exploratory). There will also be other locations, including one a Medical. The sessions being shown at the other locations may vary. I will get that information to you as soon as I receive it.

I am attaching the picture of the schedule, showing the sessions that will be in the Faculty Exploratory. It will be great if we can gather together to view these and talk about them. The sessions are being streamed live from EDUCAUSE, the very large conference being held in Denver this year. Because Denver is on Mountain time, the first session is 10:00 am EST and the final session ends around 8:00 pm EST. EST = Eastern Standard Time. Remember, daylight savings time ends this Sunday at 2:00 am. You get an extra hour of sleep.

There is no need to register or anything. Just show up, watch, discuss, and leave, as desired.

If you cannot read the schedule below, (or it was removed when distributed to the mailing list, you can see it at the http://iacinfo.weebly.com web page.
