The Opus College of Engineering has an exciting new opportunity for students who are interested in developing mobile applications. Still in the planning stages, we are looking for self-motivated students interested in learning how to develop mobile applications primarily for iOS devices but possibly Android as well. Even if you have no experience programming, if you are interested in learning and participating, please come to our information meeting Friday, April 8 at 3 pm in Engineering Hall 236.

Marquette University Survey Policy

Marquette University has a policy for conducting online surveys that helps minimize the occurrence of survey fatigue, improve the integrity of Marquette data and communication, reduce oversampling Marquette students, employees and alumni and increase survey response rates. The Online Survey Review Group at Marquette reviews and schedules online surveys conducted with Marquette students, employees, or alumni in accordance with UPP-1-22: the Online Survey Policy.

Policy Exceptions

Surveys with 100 or more total Marquette students, employees, or alumni as participants must be approved in advance, unless they meet one of the following exceptions:

• Surveys/evaluations sent only to persons who have used a given service or office or attended a specific program/event AND for which the author already has the email contact AND for which no invitations are sent to non-users or non-participants

• Institutional elections (e.g. MUSG, University Academic Senate)

• Academic research conducted by faculty or students and online surveys conducted by students as part of an official course assignment are subject to the policy ONLY if the projects involve soliciting 100 or more Marquette students, employees, or alumni as participants.

For more information about this policy, please visit: http://www.marquette.edu/onlinesurveys/

We have a demo unit of the first convertible mobile workstation released in the US – the Lenovo ThinkPad P40 Yoga. If anyone is thinking about purchasing a new laptop this year, and would like to look at the P40 Yoga, please let me know and we can schedule time to look at it.

Thank you,

Faculty interested in low-cost lecture capture or flipping the classroom may check out a new product called Swivl. Swivl is a robotic device that turns a smartphone or tablet into a complete video solution for lecture capture. The purpose of Swivl is to follow an instructor as he or she gives a lecture–it scans a room at command and stops to focus where it is needed.  It will automatically track you as you deliver a presentation and then upload the video to their cloud.  You may also export the content to D2L, YouTube and/or other video sources.  The software allows video within PowerPoint so your lecture will be synchronized with the slides. Contact the COE Tech office for more information or to reserve use in your classroom.
