The UM Center for the Humanities has scheduled a workshop on digital techniques including Keynote (the Macintosh presentation software), PowerPoint (the Windows presentation software), and ARTstor (a collection of images that you can use and study). This is a wonderful opportunity to get an introduction to these techniques in a pleasant environment. You will be exploring ways to use visual and multi-media resources to enhance your already excellent teaching.
The special workshop for faculty and teachers at UM will be offered twice, so pick the day that is most convenient for you. Both sessions will begin at 1:30 pm and run until 4:30 pm, with time for hands-on work with the various systems. The first workshop date is Tuesday, November 18, 2010. The same workshop will be repeated on Friday, December 3, 2010. I hope that one of these two dates will be convenient for you.
Digital Humanities Workshops: Keynote, PowerPoint, ARTstor. Discover useful techniques to incorporate visual resources and multi-media resources in presentations and teaching.
