Welcome to the 3Dth
Anniversary of the Rock Eagle
Annual Computing Conferencel
Rock Eagle 2001-Thirty Years of Sharing
The pace of change in technology continues to challenge each of us in the performance of our jobs whether in the classroom, in administration, in sup-
port roles, in institution or University System management. It is not possible
for any individual to keep up with the developments in one's own area much less the total field of information and instructional technology. That is the challenge today as it was thirty years ago at the first Rock Eagle gathering.
Then as now the purpose was to share information on new technologies and best practices that will help prepare us to succeed in this fast paced field. The Annual Computing Conference is a forum that facilitates collaboration and sharing through presentations, special interest panels, keynote challenge, discussions of institutional and system projects and one on one discussions. This is all done in an environment that allows the learning to take place in event rooms, vendor exhibit areas, standing under a pine tree, or sitting next to a campfire.
Whether this is the first time or the tenth I am pleased you have decided to join us for a strong program focusing on the innovations and solutions being created to move our institutions forward inthese challenging times.
Enjoy.
Randall Thursby, Vice Chancellor/CIO

Presenter: Frank Lowney,
Georgia College Ir State University Many are aware of D.uick Time as a means of experiencing video and audio found on the majority of CO-ROM titles and on the Internet. We may even be aware of the fact that D.uickTime is the cross-platform multimedia architecture undergirding applications such as Adobe Premiere. Macromedia Director. and the like. Not known is the fact that D.uickTime is capable of doing a great deal more than present linear audio and video. This is because D.uickTime movies can contain more than two tracks. one for audio and the other for video. In fact D.uickTime movies may have any number of tracks and those tracks may contain a wide variety of media in addition to multiple audio and video tracks. They can contain text. hypertext references. RTSP streams. 'wired' sprites. VR. 3-0 and even javascript. In this paper we will explore several of these lesser-known D.uickTime capabilities from the prospective of an educational content creator. We will be asking the question. 'What can an educator do with this architecture that enables learning in ways not possible with text books and the online materials that imitate the text book?'
