The web team started getting requests to post pages of images. Maintaining photo galleries Flikr style seemed a bit odd for an education site. How usefully would a separate page of random images be for a prospective Mathematics student? However, I do understand that there are times where a single, static image is not enough. […]

Mark A.Greenfield – U of Buffalo This was a great one to end on. Mark, a very professional speaker, had put together a great presentation. He covered the changes from mosaic to google earth to the mobile browser. Then he began to look beyond. One interesting argument covered was that the web page, once thought […]

Scott Lenger -Duke Law Anything created after 1989 has automagic copyright applied to it. The fair use laws were enacted to protect the publics right to still use limited pieces of material without going to jail. Scott spoke about DRM and the creative commons, but for the most part he tried to explain the fair […]

Missed breakfast. Last night, after podcasting, were a series of poster presentations and special interest group meetings. Again, I had a good chance to speak with the conference organizers. As the SIGs wore down, the buses had arrived to take us to the planned outing. The HighEdWebDev people had booked the local science museum for […]

Daniel Harvey, Eastern Illinois University This one’s for Monica: Easter IU not only supports podcasting for their instructors, but they have created an online CMS that allows instructors to to maintain their own feeds. It was scripted in PHP – allows for mp3s and most mp4 codacs. When I talked to him after the session, […]

Don Albrecht – U of Rochester Medical Center Polling was so good, that I decided to stick around for the next propeller hat presentation on SGV. Scaler vector graphics, in my opinion are the next step in web presentation. This W3C backed open-source implementation of Flash is created through XLM and play well with both […]

Daniel Frommelt – U of Wisconsin, Platteville Snuck over to the TPR track to hear about polling and feedback from a techie’s perspective. Dan was a very blunt, but impressive speaker and held the crowds attention the entire time. Even though he thought that polling was a waste of time, he found good was to […]

Cal Anderson – Truckee Meadows CC Finally, someone else from a CC. He being by running over the basics of PDFs (static vs. dynamic vs. interactive), but quickly ramps it up. Looks like the view version of acrobat pro includes an extra app called “Designer”. It makes creating PDF forms much more exact. Pixel locations, […]

Just had the chance to speak with Doug Tschopp, the organizing committee chair for the conference.He was great to talk to and offered up a lot of information about the HighEdWebDev. Really good guy. Got a card and I plan to pick his brain a bit more later. … Stephanie Leary – Texas A&M Another […]

Sorry about the delay in updates. I have been very, very busy. Between networking, listening, note taking and blogging, well … I swear it had nothing to do with the heavy drinking last night :) … Ann Vandor – UW Business School The tag line of the presentation was: “Survival through slow change” and honestly […]
