TPSS 491/711 Digital Tools for Scientific Content
The CTAHR Administration has provided funding to upgrade the teaching capabilities of TPSS. Dr. DeFrank has used these special funds to purchase video cameras, wireless microphones, computers and software to record and edit digital video files for use in preparing DVD and internet content. Students will receive orientation on the new equipment and software that includes Adobe Premier Pro 5.5, Photoshop, PowerPoint and Adobe Acrobat and Encore (DVD-authoring). Each student that takes the course for credit will be required to deliver a Power Point presentation to the class. The presentation will be recorded and each student will edit the video footage, add graphics and output files for the web and DVD authoring.
The class sessions and video editing computers will be located in the conference room of the Magoon Head House. Computers and equipment can be signed out for independent work, on site at Magoon.
