Time is running out for professors to bring media to
Academic Technology offices for re-encoding to our new streaming
technology. If you have media you want streamed for use in the
spring 2011 semester bring it to our offices, room LL-108 on the ground
floor of the San Marcos campus library, along with TEACH Act, Fair Use,
or By Permission documentation, so that we can place it in our already
very substantial queue. If you are using streamed media and it has
not already been re-encoded it will stop working as of the end of this
calendar year.

We
will be "going live" with
Blackboard Learn 9.1 beginning in the spring semester of 2011.
That's just three short months away. This will not be an ordinary
version upgrade. We will be starting out on a completely new hardware
platform, which means that professors will need special instructions on
migrating Blackboard 8 course content to Blackboard 9. That's what our
November "New
to Nine," and January
winter tech camp will be all about. Find out more on our
training page. There are some wonderful
new Web 2.0 features in Blackboard 9, but you will definitely need some
help getting started with them. Sign-up for training through the
PD office asap, or give our techs a call at ext.
2862.
To watch how-to videos, read other instructional materials,or interact with other educators using version 9.1, visit the Blackboard On-Demand Learning Center.
A New Office 2010
Office
2010 is here and it is
significantly new and improved. We have gathered a number of
What's New materials for you to evaluate in the Blackboard Academic
Technology Training Course in which all faculty and staff are
pre-enrolled. Find it in the Workshops > Teaching and Learning
Strategies area. Office 2010 will be installed on District
computers by request to the IS helpdesk (ext. 2140 or
helpdesk@palomar.edu).
The Pro Plus version is available for purchase
from the FCCC for
$45, which is a significant savings.
