Digital Content Group

This learning group will cover various options to make and share multimedia content that can be reused over and over again. Technologies discussed will include Prezi, Camtasia, video editing, PowerPoint based tutorials with audio, embedding video in D2L, and other technologies participants want to learn. These technologies could be used to create content for all three delivery methods of teaching: online, hybrid, and face-to-face. The group will provide an opportunity to get ideas from others on what type of content to present in each modality. Participants who create at least two multimedia content pieces and share them with the group will receive $300 CETL dollars. April Pierson from LTS will demonstrate the technologies and can provide hands-on training in groups or individually. This group will meet 5 times during the semester. Contact CETL, 836-2385, to register.
