Below are some of the photos I took during the evening reception at our Teaching and Learning Technology Conference on March 11. St. James Winery kindly sponsored a wine and cheese tasting. Various vendors were also on hand to demonstrate some of the technologies that are deployed across campus. This includes Blackboard (our learning management system), Spectrum (podiums), Marathon (office furniture), Fujitsu (tablet PCs), Respondus (test creation software compatible with Blackboard), Turning Technologies (clickers), Learning Objects (plug-ins for Blackboard), and more.
NOTE: Some joker was wandering around the conference during the reception wearing a very green kilt. Unfortunately, since this individual was responsible for all of the pictures below, there are no pictures of him. He was also reportedly wearing the kilt in a “traditional” fashion. For some reason, he was not allowed to go to the second floor to take pictures of the crowd from above.
