This blog is updated weekly and includes general information, tips and tricks for working with multimedia, the "Week in Review" and "Consultant of the Month".

ATS Upgrades

Consulting and Multimedia Services has recently upgraded the Academic Technology Lab (ATL) equipment and workstations. The new flexible configuration allows faculty and TA's to collaborate more easily, efficiently, and ergonomically.

Academic Technology Podcast Series

CAMS continues to produce the Academic Technology Podcast series. The podcast episodes provide the Stanford community with a variety of interviews, overviews and presentations related to teaching and learning with technology. In addition to audio, the enhanced podcasts contain text, images and video.

Podcast topics range from information about campus events such as the Campus MovieFest and Information and Technology Open House, interviews about resources available to students and discussions with faculty about how they've integrated technology into their courses to presentations by other experts such as the recent Learning Spaces talk given by Malcolm Brown, Director of Academic Computing at Dartmouth College.

Multimedia Consulting

Multimedia consultants are available to provide assistance for students and staff. Please come by during any of the hours of operation on Meyer Library's Second Floor to ask for project assistance. Alternatively, you may submit your technical questions to the consultants@lists.stanford.edu mailing list.

Assistance for Faculty/TAs

Faculty, TAs and other instructional staff can contact the Academic Technology Lab regarding training and support for the development of instructional materials. ATL projects include interactive presentations, digital audio and video projects, DVD creation, and Web sites. Instructors can reserve an ATL workstation or set up a consultation using the online scheduler at:
