 Self-study material on podcasting  First workshop held last week (screencasting mid-February)  USQ podcast by Stephen Hughes  Camtasia Relay has been evaluated, proposal for ICT Strategy Committee is in preparation  ICT have included tablet PCs in SOE  Screen recording software may be used by academics, ICT will help with installation

 Complete Senior Fellowship in S1  Would I be eligible for another USQ fellowship?  Look for external support: ALTC leadership grant, competitive grant, fellowship

 Great idea, support for project you would not be able to work on otherwise  Opportunity to work with academics from other faculties, AV Services and ICT  I’m very much looking forward to my S1 activities, working on tablet PCs

 Start with an Associate Fellowship  Use this to make a case for a Senior Fellowship – build on it  Gain support – eg in-kind funding  Don’t feel you need to include as many activities as possible – be realistic  Insist on the teaching relief!
