My background is in media production, live television, digital design, classroom technology support and web programming. For fourteen years I operated a consulting firm that provided digital design and web development. My clients included Brewery Ommegang, Vanberg & DeWulf, Bassett Healthcare, General Mills, the Chicago White Sox and many others.
My hope is to serve as a resource for the Colgate community including: the support of design tools, such as the Adobe suite (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Flash), video editing applications, presentation applications, and web development tools. In addition, I have designed and deployed hundreds of web based resources using PHP, MySQL, Perl, JavaScript, JQuery, Linux, Apache, ActonScript and others. At Ithaca College, I led projects to bring digital signage, streaming video and lecture capture to the campus.
As a digital designer, I have experience with layout, print design and user interface design. I am intrigued by design challenges and devising methods of communicating ideas and knowledge to students.
At Colgate, in addition to other duties, I will be working with Dan Wheeler, assisting him with and serving as a back up administrator for Moodle. I will be managing AxisTV, Colgate’s digital signage software implementation. Most importantly, I am here to assist faculty with their classroom and content needs.
I can be reached at 315-228-7116 or by e-mail at mhine@colgate.edu. I look forward to working with you!
And what would an instructional technology blog be without some meaningful content! Below is a great video I’ve used in training called Podcasting in Plain English. Enjoy!
