The UA's Writing Program sent over two DVDs with four videos that were produced in the spring of 2007. LTC's Media Services converted/encoded these videos and I uploaded them yesterday to YouTube. I created a new playlist for them: "First Year Composition: Orientation Videos for ENGL 101, 101" Drew Kopp, a doctoral candidate in Rhetoric, Composition & Teaching English, provided the titles and descriptions. You can view these directly at: ENGL 101 Orientation Video,
ENGL 101+ Orientation Video
Honors Composition Orientation Video, and The Southern Arizona Writing Project. I think these videos are also appropriate for the UA's iTunes U site and hope the program will agree.
Another new video is "Brad Casper: Leaving the Comfort Zone." This was a lecture given October 23, 2008, for the Eller College of Management Distinguished Speaker Series. Eller has had Media Services editing/encoding the Distinguished Speaker Series videos for some time and we have a lot of them on YouTube and on iTunes U. Great content and they promote the MBA program very well.
Will Sikes is a junior and plant science major is in Adaptive Athletics and competes in Men's Wheelchair Basketball. Will's video is the first in a series the LTC is doing on Adaptive Athletics. We hope to have at least one video for each sport. Hat's off to Tony and Luis Carlos for the excellent work that they did on these and the Peace Corps video in the next para.
"Amanda Kucich: Peace Corps Samoa Islands 2003-2005" is our latest video for the UA's Peace Corps Fellows program. BTW, one of the important reasons for campus departments to participate on the UA's YouTube Channel is to reach college-bound undergrads and undergrads looking at grad schools. On December 2nd, Georgia Ehlers, coordinator of internships and community engagement at the Graduate College, wrote: "In case you are wondering...the UA is the top recruiting school for Peace corps in our western region....I expect the you tubes help!"
