A complete video production center, ASN is capable of producing broadcast-quality video material for local or remote distribution. The distance learning classroom is used for both broadcast classes and local campus classes. This 35-seat classroom is equipped for distance education delivery as well as other productions that may require a classroom environment. The classroom includes a rear projection system that can display multiple sources, including videotape, 35mm slides, a classroom computer, or any video source from the studio including satellite, live camera, and presentation materials from our local area network or the Internet. Student seats are provided with voice activated microphones to capture student questions, interaction, and responses to instructor queries.
Broadcasts originate from the distance learning classroom or the television studio.
Downlinked Satellite programming is routed to the distance learning classroom or across campus via fiber optic data connections. The main thrust of ASN's programming and design team is Distance Learning support, but the majority of our work does double duty, finding applications on campus as well. ASN provides expertise in Web site design, computer applications programming, computer-based instruction, technical illustration, animation, digital and conventional photography, and display presentations. Applications are delived in a variety of formats, including floppy disk, CD-ROM, or the Internet.
