Tutorial Update

Hi Guys! Just wanted to post a quick update on the tutorial. Module 1 and 2 are almost finished. Vanessa has the text, video and screencasts, and she's doing her techie magic with it. Should have something to show you soon. Next up is modules 3 and 4. Beth and Jenny are still finishing up the screencasts, and I'm still working on the text, but it should be ready shortly after we get back from CIL. If anybody has an idea for the theme of this thing, we'd love to hear it. Help!

Instructional Toolbox

I like this tool box idea - click on one tool, and it gives details, uses, benefits, and examples. maybe something we can do ... one day when we have free time :)

Tri-IT wiki

The twice a year gathering of instructional tech consultants from the triad and triangle (Tri-it) schools has a wiki where they are keeping the notes, attendees contact info, etc from the meetings. So far the content is just Duke Fall 2009 and soon WFU Spring 2010. Check it out: Tri-it Wiki

Prezi & Spicynodes

Prezi is great way to spice up an orientation or presentation... but some librarians were also talking about using it for tutorials or guide! You can bring it into Camtesia and add sound, cool eh? I'd like to use this more ... or ... SpicyNodes - another one I just saw which is similar. I read about a presentation at an upcoming conference talking about using this for classes and tutorials on an academic campus.

Read this interview to learn more about using prezi.

Anyone trying it yet? I'd like to use one/both - maybe for a CIL presentation? or ?
