Daily News Editor Former University of Michi- gan Health System resident Stephen Jenson is now facing federal charges of possessing and receiving child pornography via the internet, according to an affidavit filed yesterday with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The U.S. Secret Service filed the affidavit, alleging that Jen- son possessed 97 images and four videos of "suspected child por- nography" on electronic devices seized in a Dec. 2, 2011 search warrant executed by detectives from the University's Depart- ment of Public Safety. Last May, a medical resi- dent found a USB thumb drive plugged into a computer in a resident's lounge at the Univer- sity Hospital that contained sus- pected child pornography and determined that it was Jenson's. She later reported her findings to her supervisor who then noti- fied the Health System Legal Office, though DPS was not prop- erly notified until late November, according to an internal report released bythe University on Fri- day. Rather than graphical repre- sentations of child pornography, the affidavit notes that agents observed depictions of "real chil- dren engaged in sexually explicit conduct." Jeff Frost, special agent ,in charge of the U.S. Secret Ser- vice's Detroit field office, con- firmed in an interview yesterday that his office filed the federal charges.

LectureTools was created by Perry Samson, a professor in the Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Sciences, and is a web-based program that allows students to access lec- ture materials on their laptops, mobile phones and tablets. Pro- fessors can also form interac- tive lectures in which students can ask and answer questions in real time, and responses can be displayed once students have fin- ished an activity. LectureTools has been rapidly replacing the use of iClickers in large University lecture halls as a more efficient method of track- ing student participation and engagement.
