Journalism site live
September 18, 2007 on 9:44 pm | In Announcement, Coda, Tools, Web | No Comments
The creation of the new Department of Journalism Web site has been a year in the making and we’ve finally gone live. It’s standards-compliant, universally accessible (we believe), within University of Arkansas branding standards, and pulls in a lot of interesting and relevant feeds for the various degree sequences. The main tool of creation throughout the whole process, other than Photoshop, was Panic’s Coda software, which proved to be mostly up to the task. The coding involved php, mysql, xml, xhtml, css, WordPress (php/mysql), javascript and the aforementioned rss feedage. Soon it will live in the RedDot world, too. Still to come is the much-anticipated Internship Journal as well as a guest blogger. Thanks to Patsy Watkins, Kim Martin, Shane Richey and Chris Nixon.

Pachyderm Featured in George Lucas Foundation’s Edutopia Magazine
September 8, 2007 on 2:46 pm | In Announcement, NMC, Pachyderm, Tools | No CommentsHooray for Pachyderm! I was blessed enough to be in charge of the authoring interface design team of Pachyderm 2.0’s development for a few years (2003-2006) and worked with an incredible group of people from the New Media Consortium, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and other great schools and museums. This article in Edutopia gives a great overview to the Pachyderm software with a secondary link to what I created for our own Arkansas Air Museum, which shows video clips and other behind-the-scenes information about the museum (using Pachyderm).
