Introduction to digital desktop video

OVERVIEW

Developing the media content for your website or course requires the balancing of functionality, accessibility and available resources for both production and delivery. Enhancing your course with video or audio material does not need to be a Ben Hur production however, with desktop video technology for basic production now widely available.

This tutorial module examines production and delivery issues for online media and has been designed to meet the needs of both PC and Apple Macintosh users.

Useful links are threaded throughout this module under the relevant sections. They can also be found collectively for quick reference at 'Links & tools'.

This site offers some basic information and links to resources for UNSW teaching staff wishing to utilise video in their teaching material.
