In this episode, we are reaching a really important milestone in the {low-code} 🚍 journey. We are completing here our first complex build. The main purpose of this exercise we have been engaged in over the last several weeks is to develop an example of scaffolding for {low-code} app-building. We started by using a data…
Have you noticed that lately a lot of posts or episodes in the IT Division Blog have audio entries associated with them? The voices in the narration sound quite natural. But more importantly, the sound is clean and without the sounds of dogs barking, leaf blowers, or children in the background. Where are the recordings…
Ok, here we go with our second low-code, quick-and-easy project. Here is the problem I am tackling: I collaborate with others, not just in Microsoft Word or Excel documents, but also on audio and video projects. In general, I need to make sure someone signs off on them. Rather than going back and forth with…
I don’t know if this has happened to you, but I’ve experienced several times when I have missed an important email from my boss for one reason or another. It never feels right.

This is the second on a series on how artificial intelligence voice to text services can help Bobcats advance their academic skills. A key skill for students to develop is the ability to communicate professionally and effectively. Part of acquiring these skills is having the ability to engage audiences through presentations. Traditionally we have relied…
There are many times when we would like to have a transcript of an audio recording. Sitting by the computer and typing while listening, pausing, rewinding, and typing is super time consuming. It frankly sucks. Your alternative used to be having to pay a professional to do it. For Bobcats there is a great new…
In a traditional face to face environment, teams often use whiteboards to collaborate, brainstorm and flesh out ideas. The Technology Innovation Office relies heavily on this practice to flesh out projects and design solutions. This is also a very common practice in the classroom. So how do we do this when we are all working…
