Media Productions

Students today expect more than text-based, instructor led experiences. The development of media-rich, quality content can be a daunting and time-consuming experience. Fortunately, we have the tools and expertise to assist.

Working collaboratively our instructional design team and media experts can help you storyboard and record critical learning objects for course inclusion.

Video Production

Video recordings can be used to enhance course content in a number of ways. For example, video recordings might include welcome messages, course introductions by individual instructors, essential demonstrations or lectures, and/or recordings of guest speakers.
