What is TMI? It's "All forms of instruction that are enhanced by or utilize electronic and/or computer-based technology" - CSU Academic Senate
As Coordinator of TMI at Butte College, I'm deeply involved creating online courses. In 2004 my Eastern Religions online course was designated as one of five WebCT (now Blackboard) “Exemplary Course Project” courses among those submitted from the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. But TMI is more than just distance education; it encompasses smart classroom technology, iTunes U, and more.
Butte College is a participating partner with Apple, Inc. in iTunes U, as is Stanford University and UC Berkeley. This innovative program extends access to course and campus materials to anyone who has a computer or mp3 player (including an iPod). Students and the general public are able to download lectures, walking tours, and special video presentations.
I'm chair of the Academic Senate's Distance Learning Committee, serve on the campus Technology Council, and host the podcast Butte College Chronicles.
