Year in Review: 2023

Media Production in the OLC Studios

Over 70 faculty members from across all Pace colleges, schools, and divisions have produced video for their courses and projects in collaboration with OLC staff this year. We held 364 hours of collaborative work sessions and consultations (an increase of 50% from the previous year) and collaboratively produced 417 videos (a decrease of about 5% from the previous year – the Year of the Paralegal Certificate). With each video averaging about 6 minutes in length, this totals over 43 hours of instructional video. It was an innovative year  as well – we opened our studio in Pleasantville in March, and have collaborated with faculty on new software platforms as well.

We’re looking forward to new and diverse projects in 2024! See OLC Monthly Updates for project highlights (and video examples). As always, please contact OLC staff with your questions, ideas, or production needs.

Production Tip of the month: Create background images for your lecture slides. Change the opacity to 50% so it’s not the focus, but still creates interest and provides visual context. This can also be a great way to show your sense of humor.
