• • 38 videos produced (419 minutes total) and 33 additional videos edited.

Updates and Highlights

• – OLC staff produced Pace Online Graduation (see above). This included both pre-recorded videos (speakers), graphics, and a live broadcast via Zoom.

This is a great example. of enhancing an online course with multimedia!

Production Tip of the month: Did you know we can broadcast via Zoom and switch between multiple camera angles on both campuses? This can create a more impactful presentation, and allow us to highlight diverse presentation materials.
