These services are offered by the Video Center in order to support the teaching, research and service missions of the University and to facilitate the achievement of goals related to those missions. UVC senior staff are available to assist faculty regarding design of materials for televised presentations to distance learning sites. Services for the development of video presentations and materials for delivery of instruction by other means such as correspondence studies or satellite video conferencing are also available. The Video Center maintains an inventory of videotape and related materials for purchase by the University community. The Video Center charges units for costs related to development of video projects and materials, video duplication services and installation of video systems.
Costs vary considerably depending upon the complexity of the project and material.
Cost estimates will be provided as necessary at no charge. Instructional video production projects for on-campus users may qualify for local support. Consultation services and video system design are available to University units at no cost. To ensure the most effective and efficient use of video at the University, it is expected that only a small number of units within the University need video systems dedicated solely for their use, and that most University units can benefit from the existence of a central video facility which can provide services of a professional quality. However, when a University department or agency can justify video facilities dedicated to their specialized and intensive uses, a decentralized video facility may be established.
