MAV-SIS members are a small, highly specialized, yet diverse group of people. The work we perform goes by many different names. Audio-visual, instructional technology, educational technology, and media services are some of the more common names used. A few of us still work with microforms for archival purposes.
One of the best ways to learn more about our interests and what we do is to attend one of our Annual Meeting programs. MAV-SIS presents programs that meet one or more of the following three objectives:
We did two great programs in Denver.
Changing Channels addressed the impact of new FCC regulations on institutions using wireless microphones and institutions whose users will make use of the soon to emerge Television Band Devices (TVBDs) new wireless broadband devices. The Changing Channels program page will contain the PowerPoints and other program content. It will also be updated to reflect the most recent changes in the ongoing regulatory proceedings.
The FCC has not yet issued its final rules for either wireless microphones or TVBDs. Changing Channels will remain an active main menu link until the final rules were issued and for a few months afterward. After that time, the page will remain but be linked from the Past Programs page
Documenting the Law dealt with the making of the "Encountering Attica" documentary, which chronicles a series of meetings between first year law students from the University at Buffalo Law School and inmates at Attica Correctional Facility. It will remain linked from the main menu until the M/AV-SIS 2011 Annual Meeting programs are finalized. After that time, the page will remain but be linked from the Past Programs page
MAV-SIS is currently working on its program proposals for the 2011 Annual Meeting.
MAV-SIS members typically make a broad use of technology. They use cameras (document, still, video, web), computers, interactive whiteboards, microphones (wired, wireless) and projectors (LCD, overhead, slide). They often support both classroom teaching and institutional events. They frequently take an interest in pedagodgy or instructional design.
MAV-SIS is gathering detailed data on law school AV and micrographics.
