Bugg, Consultant andProgrammer for Instructional Development, Central Michigan University William W. Harper, Consultant andProgrammer for Instructional Development, Central Michigan University Robert Olson, Professor of SecondaryEducation, Central Michigan University The revision (January, 1976) was done byJohn B. Bergeson, Director of Instructional Materials Centerand Professor of Secondary Education. NOTE: This special edition for Media in Instructionand Manage- ment was done by John B. Bergeson under contract withthe Institute for Personal and Career Development,Central Michigan University. Funds for training equipment used inthis course were provided by a grant from USOE Project 04-074578 Part A, Title VI, Higher Education Act 1965. 5 iii USE OF MANUAL The Manual for Secondary Education 420(2)and 508(1): Media in Instruction and Management is providedespecially for student use. It is a collection of information pertaining to thecourse including such things as a description of instructionalstrategies, course content, glossary of terms, study suggestions for each module, objectives for each module,pre and post tests, and in- structional monographs. Since the student may wish to insertnotes or for convenience remove sheets, a looseleaf format has been used that makes the Manual easily adaptable for use ina three-ring binder. It is hoped that students will find the Manual useful bothas a source of information and as a means for organizing theircoursework and study materials. The author is particularly eager to make the Manual useful and a valuable adjunct to thecourse toward insuring the student's success in developing competencies ineducational media. I would appreciate your comments regarding theuse and usefulness of the Manual. Please submit your comments in writing-- signed or unsigned--to myselfor to your IPCD contact. Best wishes for success in this course! COURSE RATIONALE AND JUSTIFICATION Ona of the truisms for media in education andmanagement is that presentations are made more effective and efficientthrough the proper presentation of appropriate instructional materials. But many, many controversies have waged, loud and longover what learning really is, what is aaant by "effective"and "efficient", and by what constitutes "proper presentationof appropriate" instructional materials. As advances in technology have permitted,new ways of structuring and displaying presentation materials have beenintroduced and have grown in popularity - -not the leastamong these being motion picture films, slides, audio tapes, television,and so on. And within recent years audio-visual aids,devices, teaching machines, programmed instruction, and other "aids" have beenreceived by schools, recipients of instruction, businessesand governmental institutions and have created fluries ofcontroversy among teach- ers and administrators. At times there has been open warfare betweenthe supporters and the detractors of media (as it ha'..;come to be known), as used in instruction. The detractors have flatly refused to believe in the worth of such innovative "fads" and "gimmicks".The supporters have adamantly gone ahead makinguse of whatever came into their hands. Unfortunately, but truthfully, much of the media thathas been used has been used indiscriminately: the media were used without regard for appropriateness to the instructionalobjectives, without regard for the participants' needs andpreferences, and without regard for the learning experiences,actually required to insure conceptual learning, generalizations, andtransfer to job situations. Happily the real issues in this controversyare becoming clearer, and like most controversies, truth favors neither theadamant supporters nor the detractors. The detractors are beginning to concede "some" uses for instructional media, and thesupporters are no longer regarding media as a panacea.. Both sides are beginning to recognize that media'mmStte useddiscriminately- - that specific instructional problems require specificmedia solutions. The new issue in instructional technology isnot whether media should be used, but which, when and under whatconditions should media be used. It is around thib issue that thecourse: Media For Instruction and Management has beenstructured to help the participants develop competencies in knowing thespecific charac- teristics

Portland, OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. 340 p. Land management professionals (foresters, wildlife biologists, range managers, and land managers such as ranchers and forest land owners) often have need to evaluate their management activities. Photographic monitoring is a fast, simple, and effective way to determine if changes made to an area have been successful. Ground-based photo monitoring means using photographs taken at a specific site to monitor conditions or change. It may be divided into two systems: (1) comparison photos, whereby a photograph is used to compare a known condition with field conditions to estimate some parameter of the field condition; and (2) repeat photo- graphs, whereby several pictures are taken of the same tract of ground over time to detect change. Comparison systems deal with fuel loading, herbage utilization, and public reaction to scenery. Repeat photography is discussed in relation to land- scape, remote, and site-specific systems. Critical attributes of repeat photography are (1) maps to find the sampling location and of the photo monitoring layout; (2) documentation of the monitoring system to include purpose, camera and film, w e a t h e r, season, sampling technique, and equipment; and (3) precise replication of photographs.

    11.4 The Optics of Other Devices projection head Activity 11.4.1 Optics of an Overhead Projector focus knob Overhead projectors (Figure 1), like many optical systems, consist of three sys- tems that work together: a mechanical system, an electronic system, and an optical system. Their function is to project an enlarged image from a transparent film onto a distant screen. In this activity, you will see how the different optical optical components of the projector work together. stage Materials overhead projector appropriate screwdrivers projector case Procedure Figure 1 1. Before turning on the overhead projector, open the optical stage to see An overhead projector inside the projector case. Sketch the arrangement of optical components by considering what a cross-section of the projector would look like. Note the arrangement of any bulbs, mirrors, or lenses that you find in the projector case. Add the optics of the projection head to your sketch. 2. Turn on the projector to project an image of a letter onto a screen nearby. Make adjustments to focus the image. 3. Use the focus knob to move the projection head upward. How does this affect the image? Refocus the image. 4. Use the focus knob to move the projection head downward. How does this affect the image? Refocus the image. 5. Move the projector farther from the screen. How does this affect the image? Analysis (a) Draw a ray diagram, with at least three different rays, showing how light travels from the bulb to the screen. (b) In table form, describe the structure and function of each optical compo- nent of the overhead projector.

  • Holographic Wormhole Drive: Philosophical Breakthrough in FTL 'Warp-Drive' Technology
    Holographic Wormhole Drive: Philosophical Breakthrough in FTL 'Warp-Drive' Technology Richard L. Amoroso Noetic Advanced Studies Institute Beryl, UT USA [email protected] Skeptics say Faster than light (FTL) space travel is the stuff of Science Fiction, could take 1,000 years and require a Jupiter size mass-energy source to operate superluminal warp drive spaceships. The author solves this problem in a radical new approach called the “Holographic Wormhole Drive” resulting in the possibility of warpdrive technologies in the near term. The Alcubierre warp drive metric (considered most advanced ) derived from Einstein’s General Relativity field equations by Miguel Alcubierre, in 1994 stretches space in a wave. Space ahead of a ship contracts & space behind expands, inhabitants of the warp-bubble travel along what astrophysicists call a ‘freefall’ geodesic, not moving locally inside the bubble at FTL velocities. But this model requires a negative mass-energy the size of Jupiter to operate. Amoroso uses a new spacetime transformation to cover the domain wall of the warp bubble with an array of mini-wormholes allowing an incursive oscillator to manipulate Alcubierre’s alpha and beta functions with minimal external energy input, i.e. the inherent infinite energy of the spacetime vacuum is used instead by a method of ‘ballistic’ spacetime programming. In "The Immanent Implementation of FTL Warp-Drive Technologies", from his book "Orbiting the Moons of Pluto, Amoroso solves major problems facing the Alcubierre metric based on principles of Holographic Anthropic Cosmology from another volume: "The Holographic Anthropic Multiverse". His solution is a 'Holographic Figure-Ground Effect' where the 'local' free-fall Warp Bubble separates from the holographic background by covering the domain wall of the free-fall warp-bubble with a system of mini-wormholes by 'programming mirror symmetry parameters of the spacetime vacuum'.

  • Kodak Movie News; Vol. 8, No. 1; Spring 1960
    PUBLISHED BY EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY SPRING 1960 KODAK MOVIE NEWS How bright IS your projector? Lamp wattage is only one factor in screen brilliance The amount of light a projector throws on the screen depends not only on the lamp size, but also on the projector design and the efficiency of its optical system. We had occasion recently to see movies of the newest baby of some close friends. The father remarked that he wasn't too happy with his exposure, and asked our advice. Knowing that his projector was of ancient vintage, we asked if we could run his reel off on a new Kodak movie projector-which we did. He was amazed at the differ- ence-the brilliance of his film. If your films are not as bright and colorful as you think they should be, try a reel on one of the new Brownie or Kodak Cine models at your photo dealer's. They're totally new- from design to operation-to provide the maximum light on the screen per watt of illumination. And each is designed to do its job well time after time after time. There's no one "best" projector. It all de- pends on your needs. For example, the Brownie 8 Movie Projector (right) might well be the "best" buy for you. Don't let its small size pounds) fool you! It performs big. Thanks to its special reflector-type projection lamp, ef- ficient optical system, and fast lens, it will give you bright screenings of your Bmm movies up to 3 feet wide.

  • The Essential Reference Guide for Filmmakers
    THE ESSENTIAL REFERENCE GUIDE FOR FILMMAKERS IDEAS AND TECHNOLOGY IDEAS AND TECHNOLOGY AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ESSENTIAL REFERENCE GUIDE FOR FILMMAKERS Good films—those that e1ectively communicate the desired message—are the result of an almost magical blend of ideas and technological ingredients. And with an understanding of the tools and techniques available to the filmmaker, you can truly realize your vision. The “idea” ingredient is well documented, for beginner and professional alike. Books covering virtually all aspects of the aesthetics and mechanics of filmmaking abound—how to choose an appropriate film style, the importance of sound, how to write an e1ective film script, the basic elements of visual continuity, etc. Although equally important, becoming fluent with the technological aspects of filmmaking can be intimidating. With that in mind, we have produced this book, The Essential Reference Guide for Filmmakers. In it you will find technical information—about light meters, cameras, light, film selection, postproduction, and workflows—in an easy-to-read- and-apply format. Ours is a business that’s more than 100 years old, and from the beginning, Kodak has recognized that cinema is a form of artistic expression. Today’s cinematographers have at their disposal a variety of tools to assist them in manipulating and fine-tuning their images. And with all the changes taking place in film, digital, and hybrid technologies, you are involved with the entertainment industry at one of its most dynamic times. As you enter the exciting world of cinematography, remember that Kodak is an absolute treasure trove of information, and we are here to assist you in your journey.

Introduction Some interpretive programs are enhanced by the use of audiovisual equipment (A/V). A/V presentations range from the very basic, such as using a flip chart, to much more sophisticated computer - and projector-integrated presentations. This module will provide a brief overview of the various tools that might help you to provide personal interpretive programs that appeal to the eyes and ears of your target audience. We will discuss their advantages, disadvantages, proper operation, care and maintenance, and some basic principles of photography. California State Parks’ Access to Parks Guidelines (Department of Parks and Recreation, 1993, p. 38) defines A/V programs as “…informational, educational, entertainment programs that are transmitted by auditory and/or visual means. This includes, but is not limited to, audio tape cassettes, sound systems, video tapes, films, slides, and interactive audio/video displays. Audiovisual programs shall be presented and available from integrated and accessible locations.” In our fast-paced world, technology seems to be driving much of what our visitors have come to expect. But do not be misled, the program styles that Enos Mills, John Muir, and Galen Clark offered over a hundred years ago are still very well received and appreciated.

  • Fading Out: the End of 35 Mm Slide Transparencies Tina
    Presented at the Electronic Media Group Session, AIC 40th Annual Meeting, May 8–11, 2012, Albuquerque, NM. FADING OUT: THE END OF 35 MM SLIDE TRANSPARENCIES TINA WEIDNER ABSTRACT This paper refects on the challenges facing conservators dealing with the preserva- tion and display of slide-based works in fne art collections following the discon- tinuation of the last remaining slide duplicating stock, Kodak Edupe, in March 2010, and the imminent demise of this analog technology. This paper explores the strategies currently available to conservators and the rapidly decreasing timeframe in which action will need to be taken. INTRODUCTION There are moments in the history of conservation when objects are radically al- tered in order to preserve what was most valued at that time. For example painted surfaces from panel paintings have in the past been stripped from their wooden support and re-adhered to canvas. The arguments justifying these decisions un- doubtedly appeared compelling at the time, only to become highly controversial centuries later.
