Media Studio
We are dedicated to exploring ways of using technology to improve online teaching and the online learning experience. From lecture recording studios to large-scale field production, we are here to help enhance online courses for faculty, staff and students.
Services
The Lecture Recording Studios were designed with a faculty-centric focus to make capturing course content intuitive and easy.
With sound-limiting designs, privacy-alerting “Recording” lights outside both studios, professional lighting, and direct connections to the campus Panopto recording platform, you get the best possible sound and picture quality compared to recording in your home or office.
We have both Mac and PC rooms, complete with Wolfvision 4k Document Cameras and 12.9” iPad Pros with Apple Pencils for drawings and annotations. Lectures are captured using Blackmagic Design 6k Pro cameras and Sennheiser wireless microphones. The team at the Online Learning Media Studio will walk you through the easy steps to start, stop, and post your recordings to your Canvas course.

The Revolution Lightboard Studio allows you to visually present your course content similarly to a traditional classroom whiteboard lesson. Our 82″ studio board includes an integrated PC that can incorporate graphics, notes, and formulas that you can annotate in your recordings. Our staff can assist you on setting up your recordings and posting them to your course.

One of the most unique resources available through the Online Learning Media Studio is underwater videography. Our remote-operated vehicle (ROV) has 360° underwater navigation up to 330′ underwater. The ROV includes a 4k camera with lighting, as well as a mechanical claw to manipulate objects underwater.
Potential uses include archeology, geology, and civil engineering.
The Online Learning Media Studio has the capability of capturing 360° video and photos. This 8k footage can also be used in interactions created by our Multimedia Designers. Potential uses include virtual tours and lab exercises.
Using state-of-the-art blue light laser scanning technology, the Online Learning Media Studio can create digital versions of physical objects used in your courses. Our 3D scanner has 0.05 mm scan accuracy and scans up to 1,200,0000 points per second. This tool is also portable, which means we can come to you for objects that are too delicate or large to bring to our facility.
The lead photographer at the Online Learning Media Studio has been featured in Rolling Stone, Sports Illustrated, and Discovery Channel.
Our team can lend these skills to your material with award-winning and professional quality photography to your course material.
Let the animators at the Online Learning Media Studio help you explain complex concepts through storytelling and motion graphics. Our team will collaborate with you on the objective you’re working to communicate, develop storyboards to give you and an idea of our vision, and create a final product that will be easy to understand by your students.
