Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences, Video and Multimedia Production, and Multimedia

The focus of this seminar will be to provide a look at desktop and enterprise solutions for the creation, management, hosting, and delivery of digital media, including podcasting. We will consider tools that allow the average person to create podcasts and coursecasts on their own. We will then look at enterprise-level systems, including commercial and open source, and discuss their ability to integrate and authenticate with course management systems. Hosting options (iTunes U, YouTube, and Screencast.com) will be explored. You will learn about the social, industry, and Internet trends that are defining the standards for digital media. You will leave with a resource guide containing information and links to systems and tools discussed, along with an instrument for determining needs and a guide to evaluating systems.

Undergraduate video creation at American University, Dartmouth College, and University of Pennsylvania engages students from a campus-wide mashup contest to courses in several disciplines where videos replace research papers. New-media assignments have ramifications for copyright and fair use, for viral marketing, and for best practices in media education.

This session will describe a collaboration between two very different academic disciplines at Princeton University, the University Channel and CoBlitz, to deliver recordings of public events in academia to millions. The partners describe how a group of public policy schools teamed up with an engineering consortium to create this unique multimedia project.

This presentation will demonstrate the use of a modular-based template that allows faculty to create database-driven, media-rich content for their courses. The initial project for which the template was created, the Shelley Project: Victor as Virtuoso, will be presented, as well as two subsequent projects.
