I guess it's that time of semester… I am falling behind. So, this week I'll keep it brief.
IT Services is fairly confident that they have solved the Blackboard problems that have plagued UAA for the past week as of 4 pm on Wed. They are monitoring the servers just to be sure. It really is helpful to them to have problems reported. They can't solve problems that they don't know about. I find it easy to send an email to callcenter@uaa.alaska.edu. Just include as many details as possible : computer operating system, web browser version, location, network connection, and if you can figure it out, Java version. You can also call and report the issue.
Next week I'll pick up again with Understanding by Design and transfer goals.
Here are three learning opportunities for CTC faculty and staff in the coming weeks:
iPhonography Friday November 1, 2:30-4 pm, UC 123
Take a break for something fun! Join Jeanette Renaudineau from the Faculty Technology Center, for a practical and fun workshop. Learn how to take better pictures using your iPhone, iPad, or other mobile device (including Android devices!). Be prepared for an action-packed session including photography tips, a photo shoot, and quick photo editing. Bring your favorite device and a mobile Paparazzi attitude. Jeanette did this workshop at the College of Ed - I was jealous, so asked her if she would come to the UC to repeat it.
eTech Fair Nov 11-15 via Collaborate
The eLearning Workgroup is putting together a series of workshops the week of November 11-15 for Distance Education Week. There will be morning and afternoon sessions each day via Collaborate. I will be doing a session on Understanding by Design on Thursday afternoon (are you surprised?). The schedule is final and will be available soon. These sessions will be recorded so that if a session interests you, it will be available to watch.
Educauase Fall Focus Session November 5-7, 8 am - noon
I will be hosting a viewing of the Educause Fall Focus Session in UC 131M on November 2-4 from 8 am to 11:30 am. Check out the schedule and drop in on any session. (The times in the schedule are Eastern, don't forget to subtract 4 hours to determine the AK time.) Remember, parking is free at the University Center if you want to stop by.
These sessions will be delivered via Adobe Connect.
