We invite you to attend the second meeting of the Multimedia Production Discussion Group, sponsored by the ALA Video Round Table. The MPDG is a newly formed "virtual" discussion group that intends to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and discussion on the operation, design, management or development of the computers, software, and equipment needed for multimedia production.
When: Wed, May 19, 2010, 3:30-4:30 ET (2:30-3:30 CT; 1:30-2:30 MT; 12:30-1:30 PT) Discussion topic: What are the core skills necessary for supporting multimedia (or beginning to support) the technical aspects of multimedia production? This would cover training and professional development at all levels. Co-Chair Shelly McCoy will share a number of different formats of trainings that she has tried and also websites that she frequently uses. How to participate: Please send an RSVP to Justin Wadland at [email protected] by Tues, 5/18. We will be holding the meeting in Skype, so you'll need to have this software installed on your computer, as well as a microphone and headset. You don't have to be VRT member to participate, but because we are using Skype, we do have limited number of slots. (Note: This will be our last meeting in Skype, and we will be exploring other venues for online meetings in the future.) If you're not able to attend the meeting, we will provide other opportunities for online discussion. Please email one of the co-chairs Shelly McCoy ([email protected]) or Justin Wadland ([email protected]) for more information.
