DESCRIPTION: Today’s students who grew up with media and technology are producing multimedia projects for many purposes on college campuses. Some institutions are realizing that a critical skill for graduating students is the ability to communicate in a variety of modes, including through multimedia. To that end, some faculty are starting to assign multimedia projects in their classes. Additionally, some faculty are beginning to use multimedia course materials to convey concepts and appeal to their students. These are quickly growing trends that IT departments are learning to support.

Attendees at this workshop will learn how institutions are supporting faculty and students in the use of multimedia and will get ideas for how they can meet the needs for multimedia support on their campuses. Topics covered include multimedia instruction sessions for students, multimedia facilities, multimedia software support for faculty, and general multimedia support considerations. Presentations will include useful information for those who are just starting to support multimedia and for those who are already supporting multimedia and are looking for new approaches.
