The Digital Media Commons “DMC” Workshop Series for the first half of the semester has been posted and needless to say, we are quite excited. In addition to a handful of new workshops, our old classics have been updated to include currently emerging applications that will give you that savvy edge in developing your presentations, films, podcasts and papers.

For those of you unfamiliar with the DMC, we are located in the Kade Building on the second floor. We work with students, staff, and faculty offering an open learning environment with cross-platform iMacs, one-on-one and small group consultations, class visits, workshops and general assistance on academic projects and learning tools.

Stop by during our Fall semester office hours Mon-Fri 10am-6pm or Contact us for a consultation.

To kick off the Fall series, we are conducting three Bootcamp sessions for new students to introduce BannerWeb, Moodle, Zocalo, Blogs@MIIS, Exchange Mail and Google Groups. Are you overwhelmed and confused about what exactly you are supposed to do with all of those usernames and passwords? Fear not, for we are here to guide you through the digital mire.

The first half of the semester will focus on basic organizational, production and collaborative software such as iMovie, GarageBand, CMap, PiratePad, GIMP, Excel, PowerPoint, KeyNote and many more.

The Second half of the semester will focus on intermediate to advanced programs as well as a few “reruns” of first semester favorites. We hope to announce the final dates for these sessions by the end of September.

Additionally, we have a unique Friday series in the works that we are VERY excited about and hope to announce shortly.  Stay tuned!
