Tools for the Task Workshops

Beyond Chalk and Markers: Document Camera, iPad and Smartboard

A fun and hands-on workshop on using technology as an alternative to writing on the chalk or whiteboard. We’ll be doing a brief demo of the document camera, Smartboard and iPad for displaying and recording handwritten notes as well as for annotating electronic documents like Word and PDF documents.

Course Web Sites: Sakai, Google Sites and pages.hmc.edu

CIS provides several different ways to create course web sites. For those who want a completely out of the box solution Sakai may be the best choice. Most faculty are already familiar with Sakai, so we’ll show a few tricks and tips for making Sakai work better for you as a course web site. Google Sites is a solution for those who want to customize their course web sites, but don’t want to have to write HTML code. For the more technically inclined, CIS also has a brand new way to create web sites on a site called pages.hmc.edu. Pages.hmc.edu is the replacement for www2.hmc.edu, www3.hmc.edu and www4.hmc.edu, which are all slated for retirement. Like www4.hmc.edu, pages.hmc.edu uses a directory in your home directory on the Windows file server to host web pages.

We have had our Lecture Capture systems at HMC now for a year.
