  • CBEI and long overdue update

    My last post was January 2013 when I started working at my, then, new job at the EEB Hub. A lot has happened since. I have been here for 1.5 years and I can honestly say I could not have predicted that this job would shape into what it has become. First of all, we…

  • First day at EEB Hub

    Wow.  Where has the time gone?  World Campus was all someone could ask for from an employer – great people, support, experience, and more.  However, I could not pass up the opportunity that was given to me by the Energy Efficent Buildings HUB (www.eebhub.org).  I am still technically working for Penn State – as the…

  • Multicam editing in Premiere Pro CS6 and its many quirks

    So we (World Campus Learning Design Multimedia Specialists: Brian Strauss, Pete Warren, and myself) went on a very interesting video shoot recently. This was for a psychology class modeling some simulated psychotherapy sessions; we were able to get students from the Penn State theater department to do an excellent job as patients and therapists. This…

  • WordPress theme updated, new Lightbox plugin

    Decided it was time to update the theme. Now moved over to Brunelleschi 1.5.3 by Kit MacAllister. I’m all about letting the content speak for itself. I don’t like bright colors. I don’t like light fonts on dark backgrounds. The layout should be exactly the same, so hopefully no one will get lost. As I…

  • CRIMJ 450W: Racial Percentages, Version 2

    The instructor requested some changes, so we revamped the look/feel as well as the functionality of this short self-assessment exercise.
