Mark Hine Joins Instructional Technology Team

As the latest member of the instructional technology team, introductions are in order. My name is Mark Hine and it is my pleasure to join the academic support team at Colgate. I am transitioning from Ithaca College, where I served as the Digital Media Coordinator for just over three years. Prior to that, I served ten years at SUNY Oneonta supporting instruction and serving as a media production specialist with the Creative Media Services group.

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!
