The Multimedia Academy will teach participants to design and develop various multimedia objects for their courses. It will include several hands-on modules covering several tools and methods for creating instructional and assessment activities. The Academy will offer HyFlex delivery options, so faculty have multiple options for participating! Synchronous sessions will be held on December 15 and December 16 from 10am - 5pm. Estimated total time for completing the Academy is between 15 and 20 hours.
The Multimedia Academy is presented by the CTL and sponsored by the Division of Extended Learning and Community Engagement.

À la carte?
We've had a few people ask if they can attend just one or two modules of the Academy. While we conceived of the Academy as an entire experience and didn't develop a formal à la carte option, we will have room for a few "extra" people to participate in individual sessions. We still ask that you register. Synchronous meeting times are as follows:
- Creating Interactive Multimedia Exercises (10am-noon, Wednesday, December 15)
- Instructional Video Planning: Tool Selection, Lighting, Recording Options (1pm-3pm, Wednesday, December 15)
- Instructional Video Editing and Production (10am-noon, Thursday, December 16)
- Creating Interactive VoiceThread Assignments (1pm-3pm, Thursday, December 16)
Participants who do not complete all requirements are not eligible for stipends.
