MC 101 Wrap Up: Mont Alto

I’ve just pulled back in to State College after my final MC 101 for the Summer at Mont Alto.  Today’s session was an afternoon presentation and took place during the regularly scheduled Faculty/Staff Development Day.  As such, I was also on campus for a variety of faculty consultation sessions and the Chancellor’s address at the welcome back luncheon.  Having had a chance to hear what was new and exciting at Mont Alto this Fall, I went into MC 101 aware of the topics that would be of interest for the Fall semester.

Faculty were very interested in the Mobile Media Pilot and Dan Mroz, outgoing IT Director, asked if I could put on an impromptu iOS editing demo at the end of my session.  Luckily, a document camera was available in the podium I was presenting from and the demonstration went off without a hitch.  I expect to hear from several individuals with proposals for Spring semester pilot projects (with any luck).

As this session was part of an existing itinerary, I will not be able to do formal assessment but have asked Dan to follow up with attendees on my behalf and have provided links to resources I think faculty/staff may want to research further.
