rosettastoned Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Hello, I was wondering when/where podcasts will be available for the 2014 class and thanks rmorelan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigM Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 No specific dates were given but rmolelan mentioned that it would be at least a few weeks. It's to get us to make an appearence in lecture rather than chilling at home in our PJs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 exactly The admins want you to get settled into the routine of going to class and have time to make friends etc. Sounds perhaps a bit corny but actually it is important. Plus they have broken the system we used last year, so we have to figure out some alternative/corrective measure ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigM Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Plus they have broken the system we used last year, so we have to figure out some alternative/corrective measure ASAP. So lectures from the first month or so won't become available on podcast even after administration decides to allow podcasts to go live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 So lectures from the first month or so won't become available on podcast even after administration decides to allow podcasts to go live? Correct - actually right now the changes that TTS made at that absolute last moment have actually stopped podcasting from working (software installed on the friday just before class started). We are now attempting to compensate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the content we are covering is moving quite quickly it is largely MCAT review at this point so I am sure we can survive without podcasts for now. They will be golden once they are available though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are now attempting to compensate Certainly don't want to rock the boat, but it seems like an awful lot of problems have come up with the VC stuff in the early going. Was there a reason for the change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naspec Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I for one am glad that the Windsor class can now also see the London class instead of only themselves on the right-hand screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that is nice - the new camera angle also lets us both see and hear Windsor a lot better as well. I think it is much better - although we are getting tripped up a bit with the questions now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maodiddymao Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Certainly don't want to rock the boat, but it seems like an awful lot of problems have come up with the VC stuff in the early going. Was there a reason for the change? There was a meeting last year where students, faculty, and TTS discussed their feelings about the VC system and if they wanted any changes. What exists now is a result of changes that have come about as a result of those meetings. Trust me when I say it's set up in a much more transparent way than it used to be, and there are just a few wrinkles getting ironed out with the way it works. You should see the technology involved behind making it work, it's pretty mind-boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollester Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Is it just me or is the camera in HD now? Actually, I was just thinking about this today. The camera resolution doesn't seem all that great... I wouldn't know how it compares to last year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollester Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 And how come the VC screens aren't in 3D video? oh come on now, don't mock me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maodiddymao Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Is it just me or is the camera in HD now? Same resolution, but not blown up to a giant screen instead, so there's less quality loss from blowing it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
