Educause Proposal Reviewer for 2015 Conferences

By • On • In Presentations, Volunteering

As a member of Educause, Alma had the opportunity to review proposals for the 2015 Conferences planned for San Diego, Atlanta, and San Antonio. She reviewed ten proposals for the San Antonio conference April 22 – 24, 2015.

Reading the proposals provided insight about hot topics within higher education and technology as well as details regarding conference programming as it functions on a large scale for a nationwide organization. The chief takeaways were the manner of descriptive criteria that were included in the proposal feedback system, and the various formats that were available for topics which did not lend themselves to traditional presentations.

Alma used the video camera they received as a shower gift, so they could watch the footage and continue adding footage while on their honeymoon. This added an additional need for some speedy transferring of video during the reception, but Alma was able to give them the wonderful surprise of two short (snapshot) videos and a full DVD. Alma designed the DVD case to look like a feature film, complete with a plot, guided by the story of how they met and fell in love.

By • On • In Productions, Volunteering

After taking a course on multi-source video production, students in the Digital Video Communication program at Cleveland State University can volunteer as Production Assistants for live productions that the faculty and staff are involved with.

This one-day production took place in the Masonic Auditorium in Cleveland, it was a twelve-camera set up with several media trucks digitizing the output for a live performance within Second Life. The Ikegami cameras had long-throw zooms and crank focuses. Quite honestly, it was the most professional broadcast camera Alma have ever used.
