video micro-tutorials

Posted on March 20, 2012 by matthewtbutler

This could either be during a specific session(s) or run self-serve throughout the camp.

Stop by the DRP tutorial room to lay down a small chuck of your knowledge on video! Record a few-minute screencast on any subject in your realm of expertise or you feel comfortable teaching other participants. No idea too big or too small! A computer with easy-to-use screen capture software, a web browser, office software, and microphone will be provided.

Know something about how Heidegger sees poetry and technology as two contrasting ways of “revealing?”

Have thoughts on Node.js’s implementation of the observer pattern using the EventEmitter class?

Know where to look to find writing about the Second Great Awakening in Jacksonian Era African-American newspapers?

Ideas don’t have to be complex or grand. Just share a few minutes of your knowledge and at the end we’ll see how we overlap and diverge. It could be fun.

About matthewtbutler

I'm a multimedia consultant with a 15 year history of working with university libraries and museums on projects that integrate technology into scholarly activities. I've also collaborated on various media art projects dealing with labor, community, and place. Slavoj Žižek. In 2002 I sealed an envelope with some writings to myself that was not to be opened until ten years later, in 2012. It dealt with the purported end times, I believe. I can't remember what's in it but it's labeled with the cryptic phrase "Lacanian Thought Diagram" or something similar, which is a reference to Žižek's work on the imaginary. I'll open it sometime this year. Galaga - At this point, numerical scores are irrelevant in the game of Galaga. The level flips over at 255 anyway. It is about paying a sacrificial coin to keep your old gods alive from the ancient arcade days of yore.

    Heck yeah! It’ll be like the confessional booth on the Real World, except more useful.

    That’s an even better name than micro-tutorial.

    What happens when knowledge stops being polite…and starts getting REAL.
