slate blog

Actually iTunes U isn’t the only project recently that’s taken us away from slate but it’s one of a number of them. It’s been an interesting summer.

Join the Conversation
This summer marks a transition at the University (that was pretty clever, huh?). One of the cool things with this transition (for me at least) are the forums that have been held around campus and around the state. We’ve live blogged the local campus events including pictures near-real time. We’ve also been using QuickTime Broadcaster to do live streams of all of the forums. As an aside, seriously easy to set-up that I can detail if anyone cares. slate has obviously been involved as the basis for the site itself and the corresponding blog. I can’t say we’ve done the streams via slate but does a link count?

iTunes U
We’ve actually had a contract with Apple in regards to iTunes U for a while now but didn’t take advantage of it (read: didn’t have enough time). This summer we’ve cranked out a fair bit of content for the new system (not all there yet) and really tried to reach out to groups on campus to push forward and provide a comprehensive view of the University. I recommend you check it out. Chris was a big part of this as well as a number of folks across UAM that I’m not listing only because I don’t know if they would want their names listed.

Mike’s Blog
The blog of the new president of the University, Mike Garrison. Does your University president have a blog? I’m honestly curious.

Another cool project that may be our first true integrated project and definitely my first national project should be coming online on Friday with another the week after.

Let us know what you think of Join the Conversation, iTunes U or Mike’s Blog.
