Current trends in eLearning stress small nuggets of high-quality audio and video content that accompany and complement other learning assets such as text and interactions. Moving away from instructor-led learning to on-demand and high-quality eLearning requires multimedia-production capabilities. But outsourcing audio and video production can cost thousands of dollars for even a few minutes of product. How can a small L&D department produce quality audio and video learning materials on a small budget? While the cost of building an in-house multimedia studio might seem prohibitive, smart setup and professional advice can minimize the cost and make the in-house production of high-quality multimedia eLearning a reality.
Participants in this session will review a cost-effective solution for producing multimedia for any eLearning project. You’ll examine how building an in-house production studio with industry-standard multimedia equipment, software, and techniques can produce both professional results and a quick return on investment. You’ll gain the information you need to determine if in-house multimedia production is right for your organization, and if it is, how to build and effectively manage a multimedia studio.
In this session, you will learn:
- How to set up a low-to-medium-cost in-house multimedia studio that produces professional results
- How an in-house studio can support mobile, just-in-time, and larger-scale learning projects
- How to manage multiple multimedia-production projects
- The cost/benefit ratio of an in-house multimedia studio
- How a multimedia studio can take your eLearning to the next level
Audience:
Instructional designers, instructional developers, and all levels of management. Participants should have an idea of how they want to incorporate multimedia into their current eLearning strategy.
