Converting videotapes to CD or DVD
Sunny Boyd, Biology, wanted to easily incorporate CNN footage into her lectures. We digitized VHS tapes into QuickTime movie files and saved them on a CD for her. We also helped a sociology professor create a DVD of short clips from a variety of movies for his class. (requires QuickTime plugin)

Enhancing a face-to-face course with online discussion
Jane Doering, Core, wanted to increase student engagement in her course. We helped the class use the WebCT discussion tool discussion area as a vehicle for out-of-class conversation. Some large lecture courses also use discussions as a way to share frequently-asked questions.

Moving from overhead transparencies to PowerPoint
Joel Hodson, American Studies, wanted to modernize his collection of overhead illustrations. We scanned the transparencies and helped him create PowerPoint presentations for his course. We can help faculty improve the effectiveness of this popular tool in their classrooms.

Chemistry animations
Rich Taylor, Chemistry, wanted to bring to life a series of still pictures that showed a chemical reaction. We used Macromedia Director to create the animation, which he posted in his WebCT course. We can also create animations with Flash. (demo requires QuickTime plugin)
