Media: Multimedia CD-ROM
Description: A multimedia presentation about UMUC, targeted to new faculty worldwide. It contains five major sections (Who We Are, What We Do, Who We Serve, Our Policies, and What's Here for You) and includes many images of UMUC faculty, staff, and campuses. The goal is to foster unity and identity in a faculty community that lives around the world, many of whom teach online and rarely visit a central campus.
Clients: UMUC Provost Office; Center for Teaching and Learning
Services provided: The CVU recommended a design that appealed to a global audience and could be supported by a broad range of user computers, including those with limited memory or multimedia capabilities. It also coordinated production, including multimedia development (storyboards, scripts, graphics, and programming), audio and video development (actor contracting, recording, editing, encoding, and transcript development), and quality control and testing. Finally, it designed the CD-ROM packaging, created a CD-ROM master, and coordinated duplication by an external contractor.
