Robotic Technologies

April 10, 2015

Over the last couple of years, eTV has been implementing a variety of robotic technologies into our production set-up. These technologies have helped expand our contribution to teaching and communication activities throughout the college. Streaming and live events can be captured in a more dynamic, captivating manner while new innovations around panoramas and immersive learning can be produced faster with high quality reliability. Looking into the future, eTV will continue to implement these technologies into our development plans; apart from expanding our contribution to RRC’s Vision and Mission, robotic technology makes for awesome looking visuals so please check out the video below.

Welcome to the start of an exciting new year. Here in eTV/Learning Technologies we’re off to a busy start in 2015 with several productions, streaming events, and project starts already underway.

For some real fun stuff, take a look into the world of Microbiology (with time lapse video) and see what happens when you inoculate TSI (Triple Sugar Iron) agar with Citrobacter freundii and a funky sound track.

The video below shows an inoculated sample on the right and a uninoculated sample on the left over a 24 period.

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

December 19, 2014

In case you had any doubt about this quote from George Orwell’s Animal Farm check out the “all knowing” nod from the sow 48.seconds into this video. It’s all a part of eTV’s/TLTC’s work with Apprentice Manitoba and Assiniboine Community College to create unique immersive educational products. The interactive panoramas that are being created will be completed early in the New Year but in the mean time we thought you might enjoy this romp through one of the pig barns at the University of Manitoba’s Farm and Food Discovery Centre.

Happy Holidays from the eTV gang!
