Throughout the year OCTET works on various projects for faculty or committees. Below is a list of such projects with links to the results of those endeavors. Feel free to use these tools as you see fit in your class or for yourself.

Web pages that will allow students to access audio files but does not allow them, in any easy fashion to download them. The examples in the linked page, either use the kiosk property of the embed tag or are streamed using out Real Media streaming software. These pages can then be zipped and uploaded in to Blackboard.

Flash pages that allow students to explore and test themselves on invertebrate phylogeny.

Tutorials for using Excel (including video screen capture)

Creating web base surveys where data is directly input in to a database and can be downloaded and opened in Excel.

Video digitization for the purpose of uploading the information in to Blackboard. This is being done in many MUED & THEA courses so that students can see how they progress throughout the semester and can then use the videos as part of their portfolio. The digitization was done in our office to assure that the files are not too large. Since the videos are of individual students, we can not illustrate the results on an open web site. Call OCTET or Albert Borroni for details or a demonstration.

Video streaming. To view this video RealOne needs to be installed on your machine. If there is no signal, it is likely the computer has been turned off. Come back later.
