Student Video Contest on Freedom
Posted June 17th, 2008 by phoffman
The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is teaming up with Apple, to provide college students across the United States with the opportunity to share how they define freedom. Teams of college students can create and submit a short video (3 minutes or less) expressing the qualities, importance, and impact of freedom in their lives, today.
Through their submissions, students will connect with people around the world to share their ideas about Freedom and become facilitators in a very important, global dialogue concerning some of society’s most critical issues. Creating Freedom Awareness—at a time when we need it most—is, perhaps, the 21st Century’s greatest challenge.

Session Description
The life experience of the second-year college journalism student frequently limits their potential to write and produce compelling narrative stories. Conversely, many individuals with pre-onset Alzheimers disease have lived full lives, and have rich stories to share, yet face their inevitable loss. In such situations, their families feel helpless. This project introduces students to patients and provides a unique opportunity to create digital multimedia stories to help families cope with change and preserve the stories of their loved ones, while helping students to discover a narrative voice and improve the quality of their writing in a way that brings meaning and value to all.

La Historia del NMC Campus en Second Life
Posted December 10th, 2007 by Alan LevineOur video on NMC and Second Life, NMC Campus: Seriously Engaging continues to be one of the most requested media items viewed on our web site. While it has been close to 2 years since we published this video, it is viewed in recently more than 700 times per month, and this does not even count where it is accessed on other sites such as YouTube, blip.tv, and Google Video. But one of the more fascinating uses of the video is on >dotSUB, a web site where visitors can annotate the movie with translations of its captions into more than 100 other languages.
Technology Internet TV Show
Ask the Techies Internet TV show (VODcast) at Ohio University has started it's 3rd season. Everyone uses a personal computer, but many people find it more worthy of the name "personal confuser."
Ask the Techies breaks down that confusion via a mix of hosts and on-computer-screen video capture. The hosts not only explain the content but make the viewer feel comfortable with technology. This is an interactive show where people can “ask the techies” questions via e-mail. D.Lee Beard and his co-hosts then answer these viewer questions on camera with a full video explanation to make sure the viewers don't miss a thing.
Ask the Techies offers videos on demand that students of all ages including faculty and administrators can watch/listen to over and over again as often as needed for free (as well as commercial free!). Faculty can even link to our videos for course instruction.
