Starting this Fall, we are inviting faculty to participate in the iTunesU program. Below are the policies and procedures for the program. If you have any questions, please contact Tera Doty-Blance ( dotyblancet@cortland.edu )
Registration – An online form will be available at the Cortland iTunesU website http://www.cortland.edu/itunesu , where instructors can request course space in iTunesU. Instructors will need to provide their course name, course number, and CRN from Banner. After this information has been submitted to the iTunesU administration, training must be scheduled before the course space will be created. Until the online form is made available, iTunesU course requests should be made directly to the Technology Trainer (Tera Doty-Blance – dotyblancet@cortland.edu , 753-4056)
Training – Instructors will be required to participate in two workshops, one on course management and one on podcast production, before the creation of their course space in iTunesU. The first workshop, on managing the course space will provide information on logging into the system, how and what sections of the course interface to edit, managing the student drop box, student versus instructor interfaces, proper file naming schemes and file management. The second workshop will cover podcast production on either the mac or pc platform, using Garageband, iMovie and/or Camtasia Studio. This production workshop will provide instruction in use of the software as well as additional hardware and file storage considerations. Student podcast production considerations and support will also be discussed.
Support – Instructors can request in class presentations on Garageband, iMovie or Camtasia Studio by the Technology Trainer (Tera Doty-Blance) or the Multimedia Production specialist (Dawn VanHall). Such requests and scheduling will be made through the Coordinator of Instruction Librarian (Daniel Harms – 753-4042, harmd@cortland.edu ) Instructors are requested to provide information on student podcast assignments, such as scope of project, required elements, due date, etc, to the Coordinator of Instruction. This is for the purpose of coordinating support and equipment availability.
Equipment – Multimedia production and recording equipment is available at the circulation desk in the Memorial Library. External Hard drives, Digital Video Cameras, Digital Still Cameras, TuneTalk Microphones and iPods are available for loan and use outside the library. USB Microphones are available for in house use only. The two multimedia rooms in the library are available for 3 hour periods and each contain a production level Mac and PC and software.
