Mark Farley manages the Sea Grant-run Visitor Center at OSU's Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, where he is responsible for developing technology for exhibits, multimedia, the Free-Choice Learning Lab and other special projects. Mark is a veteran developer of interactive media and software for science, education and business.

Projects/Specialties:

Interactive exhibit design, testing, implementation and evaluation via the Free-Choice Learning Lab
Development of the wildly popular OctoCam, a live, streaming Webcam view of the HMSC Visitor Center's Giant Pacific Octopus. The project's success prompted development of a ScienceCam program to stream live marine science presentations and demonstrations to school classrooms around the US.
Smart phone applications as tools for education and outreach. Mark developed OSU's first iPhone app, Paddle Beaver Creek, an interactive guide to the historic and natural features of a popular central coast kayak and canoe route. Additional apps are under development.
Producing short, informative videos for Oregon Sea Grant's YouTube channel
