Willie's Resource Page
I am Academic Coordinator in Distance Learning and serve as a resource to other faculty in their use of technology for teaching and learning.
I am knowledgeable in developing course materials using Catalyst (our Moodle-based course management system), and have a special interest in the use and development of media-based materials (specifically using the Macintosh iLife suite of tools to create podcasts, and the creation of QuickTime movies). This, of course, requires that I have some sensitivity to, and knowledge of, accessibility issues for mediated material, so I have taught myself how to add text tracks to QT movies and use the Macaw software tool for syncing text to movies so that the hearing impaired can also benefit from materials developed in this medium. I am also in the process of creating QuickTime movies on various aspects of using Catalyst. You can view those movies by going to De Anza's iTunes U site and scrolling to the bottom. (You need to have the iTunes software installed on your computer first.)
Other projects I am working on now include Podcast Producer from Apple, acting as co-chair of MacLearning.org (a non-profit organization dedicated to using the Mac for teaching and learning, check out its web site and the Apple Learning Interchange), acting as CETC Ambassador for De Anza College, and raising the awareness of De Anza faculty about Intellectual Property issues surrounding open courseware (or OER -- Open Educational Resources).
Previously, I was Vice Chancellor, Technology, for the Foothill-De Anza Community College District. For more detailed information about me see my EDUCAUSE Peer Profile.
