DIGITIZATION SERVICES

Digitization Services supports curricular instruction by converting and creating multimedia instructional materials for faculty use.  If you use, or would like to use, multimedia materials in your teaching activities we can help you. 

Here are just a few possibilities:

• Convert images and short audio and video clips for use in PowerPoint or BlackBoard
• Create short audio and video clips that students can access online outside of class time
• Scan slides to use online instead of needing a bulky slide projector
• Digitize class lectures and presentations for future classes
• Create a searchable Adobe Acrobat .pdf file from a document for an assigned reading
• Scan images from various sources for a Media DataBase collection

Typical turnaround times for curricular requests are 3 to 5 days, but larger projects may take longer to complete.  Curricular projects always take priority.  However, time permitting, we can also undertake projects to support the University.  These projects are fee-based and the cost is determined by the complexity of the project.

The Academic Media Studio and Digitization services staff members are available to faculty seeking advice or training on existing and emerging digital media technologies.

Contact Allynn Wilkinson x4954 or awilkinson@wesleyan.edu in the Academic Media Studio.

In addition to our services, several Ricoh copy machines are located throughout the campus and are now equipped to copy and convert documents into the Acrobat .pdf format.   If you are not familiar with the copyright and fair use guidelines, please visit the Copyright section of our site for more information.
