SERVICES
Graphics & Visual Effects
We provide professional 2D and 3D design services for teaching and other academic
use. This includes creating course banners, icons, animations, and visual effects
to enhance your online or blended courses and create an engaging learning environment
for your students.
Video Recording & Editing
Our multimedia designer, in partnership with the Center for Creative Instruction (CCI), uses a professional green screen facility and sound booth for high-end audio/video
production. We can also meet you with you in your office, in a classroom or lab, or
other dynamic locations to film and produce quality videos.
Additionally, we can enhance your video by adding transitions, music, and special effects, or adding graphics, photos, and animations that help to illustrate complex subjects.
Video Conversion & Digitization
We can convert your DVDs to a digital format and publish them to UToledo Online’s
secure streaming media server for use in online learning environments. If you have
media to be converted, please complete the Media Drop Off Form prior to dropping off your materials to Rocket Hall 1300.
