L&S Learning Support Services will conduct a workshop on using QuickTime (Pro) and iDVD to deliver the video portion of a Teaching Portfolio. These concepts build off of the workshop on obtaining useful video footage for a portfolio, but attendance at the previous workshop is not a prerequisite. The workshop is open to all college instructors (faculty, staff, and TAs).
Since the launch of our new website in early 2009, L&S Learning Support Services has greatly expanded our collection of online how-to guides.
L&S LSS will offer a workshop for L&S instructors on strategies for taking video of classroom instruction for inclusion in a teaching portfolio.
Friday 6 November
1:00-2:00 PM
Van Hise 294
The workshop is designed to cover suggestions for the types of classroom moments that are particularly advantageous for a portfolio and how to make the best of a one-camera shoot. In addition, there will be a brief hands-on guide to the shoot and share camcorders available in the AV Pool with a discussion of their advantages and potential shortcomings.

Final Cut Pro is Apple's professional video editing software. Available in LSS's Video Production Lab, Final Cut Pro is in many ways easier to work with than it's consumer-level counterparts.
The following Quicktime video clips take the user through the process of editing a classroom language demo in typical fashion: trimming the beginning and end, adding text, transitioning between clips, and fading video.
University Communications' recent launch of iTunesU for UW-Madison offers a great new platform for instructors to share instructional media with their students as well as with a wide audience outside the walls of campus classrooms.
One of the first features on the new site, Personalidades, shows how an iTunesU podcast can serve UW-Madison students and at the same time bring the work of the University to people throughout Wisconsin and around the world.

Professor Emeritus Christopher Kleinhenz recently shared important new research about Dante Alighieri in a videotaped lecture now available online from L&S Learning Support Services. The lecture reveals new details about Dante's sojourn in the
Emerald Isle in the early 14th century and the decisive impact this visit had on world literature.
The Kodak Zi6, a highly portable, easy to use video camera, is now available for checkout in the L&S AV Pool. We're excited to see the many ways instructors will use these cameras to support teaching and learning.
