Susan's Course

Susan's class on clinical aspects of HIV/AIDS is well under way. I have been recording visually using a web cam that the school has available, auditorially using macromedia breeze, and in written format using PowerPoint and other document files.

After having collected this information I am transfering the information to the Moodle server to be used for the school. There have been a few limitations that have made working on the class rather difficult. First is the microphones that we have been using have had a lot of problems which might require the teacher to redo the recordings on her own time for use with macromedia breeze. In addition to this the Moodle server only allows 2MB files to be transfered and many of the Macromedia breeze files are larger than this so we will have to find a way to upload the files directly to the server. I am working on this, but this may be difficult for teachers to perform in the future without the help of a computer technician.

We have the organization of the class well under way and we are transfering information to the Moodle Server despite these difficulties. Progressions are being made and I am very excited about the new microphones that we have received. They are wireless and we are trying to figure out a way to record without the use of a mixer. I will be working with Judo on this before class starts this afternoon and I hope that everything will be good to go so the recordings will go better.

The next class begins the following week and I hope that I can be caught up with all of the course creation by that time.
