Today we overheard a student say ‘I was studying so hard for my first exam I didn’t see the sun for three days.’ We’re impressed, sympathetic, and hope you all get outside soon…

We Need Your Help!
The OpenLab is an iterative, ongoing, community-based project, which means it’s constantly evolving, and much of the evolution involves users like you. You have been invaluable in using and testing the system, finding best-practices, and telling us what could be done better. With your help, we’ve been updating the system constantly, but this summer we’re planning a larger update of the OpenLab, and we want to be sure our standing offer is clear: tell us what you think, what you would like to see, what could be done better. Please contact us anytime, with any request, and we’ll try to accomodate all wishes and suggestions. We love to hear what you think!

Featured Assignment: Digital Photography

We had a great time looking at the photographs taken by Robin Michal’s “Digital Photography 1” students–particularly the images they took on a trip to Greenwood Cemetery, one of our favorite places in the city. You can check out pictures and reflections on the trip here. Great stuff, but be warned: you might get stuck spending some time!

Featured Tutorial: Awesome Flickr Gallery
When looking through those student photographs, we remembered that Robin’s course also has a wonderful flickr page, which reminded us of a plug-in we haven’t discussed yet here on The Open Road: The Awesome Flickr Gallery. There’s a fine tutorial for how to use it here. The Awesome Flickr Gallery has some steps that new users might not be familiar with so, as always, contact us with any questions, or to set up a one-on-one demonstration.
