DMC Open House! Nov 1-5

The Digital Media Commons in collaboration with the Center for Advising and Career Services, Alumni Relations, the Office of International Student Services, and the Networking club, cordially invite you to participate in our Fall Open House.  This year we’ve planned a week of activities to complement our regular Tuesday/Thursday workshop sessions: lunchtime workshops (12:30-1:30pm) and presentations on career development topics, as well as afternoon sandboxing sessions (4:00-5:30pm) to share innovative projects and ideas.

The theme for the Open House is: the 21st Century Professional.  In the spirit of this theme we’ve invited staff, faculty, students, and alumni to share projects, innovations, and information that are shaping how we work, how we learn, and how we continue to develop and adapt our skills.

We invite you to check out our Program and to attend a session or two in Kade during the week to contribute to the conversation.

Seating will be limited, and as an added incentive to attend, there will be a daily drawing for MIIS memorabilia, and an end of week drawing for an ipodnano!

Fall Introductory Workshop Series Announced

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!
