Exemplary Learning: UO Teachers Share Their Strategies For Success
Date: 2009
Type: Interactive Website, Streaming Videos, Teaching Resources
Client: Teaching Effectiveness Program.
Department: Teaching and Learning Center
While most UO instructors enter the classroom with in-depth training in their field, they are not necessarily trained in how to teach their subject in a way that engages students. Throw in the challenges of teaching large classes and dealing with technology, both new and experienced instructors can feel at a loss. With the assistance of UO faculty distinguished for excellence in teaching, the Teaching Effectiveness Program and IMG have created a website to share the strategies and resources these faculty use to promote student learning. This site includes video interviews, access to course materials and links to additional resources on student-centered learning.
University of Oregon Virtual Tour
Date: 2009
Type: Interactive Website
Client: University of Oregon Office of Admissions.
They say that great minds think alike and in the summer of 2008 this was true for Interactive Media and the UO Office of Admissions. UO Admissions staff, along with representatives from UO Housing and Web Communications, had been brainstorming the need for a new UO Virtual Tour. Interactive Media had also been playing with this idea as a way to collaborate with campus partners and to market our services. Together, this collaborative team created a fun, interactive virtual tour which highlights what makes the UO so great. Incorporating Flash animation, image slideshows, video segments and music from local bands, the new UO Virtual Tour allows prospective students to get a sense of what life is like at the University of Oregon.

Electronic Music Interactive v2
Date: 2009
Type: Interactive Website Redesign
Client: Dr Jeffrey Stolet, Professor of Computer Music

In collaboration with Dr Stolet, CMET:IM updated the website's content, navigation, information organization and visual design to make for a more intuitive, interactive learning experience. The Electronic Music Interactive v2 uses Flash and audio to present interactive examples of the basic concepts and techniques essential to the study of electronic music in the university curriculum.

View her testimonial about this project.
Department: Human Physiology
How do you teach the clinical logic behind using range of motion tests to diagnose hypothetical injuries? This was the challenge facing Dr. Verscheure as she stood in front of her class simulating injuries and trying to describe what was going on underneath the skin. As students struggled with the concepts, she decided to try a different approach and contacted CMET: Interactive Media. Together, we created a virtual sports medicine clinic where students could follow an ATC as she applies range of motion tests to diagnose injuries to muscles, ligaments and nerves. Using detailed graphics, interactive animations, audio and quizzing, this self-paced learning object allows students to get an internal view of how these injured tissues react to range of motion tests while practicing the underlying clinical logic with virtual patients.
Chemistry Lab Make-up Form
Date: 2008
Type: Database-driven Online Form
Client: Dr. Deborah Exton, Senior Instructor
Department: Chemistry
In the past when students needed to make up a chemistry lab session, it required a cumbersome process of email exchanges and approvals. With a quick online form, CMET: Interactive Media streamlined this process for the students and faculty member. Now if a student must miss a lab session, they can complete an online request indicating which lab they will miss, why they will miss it and which make-up lab session they would like to attend. The faculty member is then notified of requests and may login to an online admin tools where requests can be reviewed and tracked. So much easier.
