A video support model for liberal arts colleges

Supporting video in the liberal arts college context is a broad topic including training and instruction, production, event support, simulcasting, film festivals, college courses on video, media lab support, internships for students, software and hardware access, and loaner pools of equipment. Williams College has been working to develop a support model to handle the wide ranging video support needs of the college. The evolving model makes use of existing course support programs, a well defined training path for student employees, and project based initiatives. Developing our understanding of video production, support and training, has increased our capacity at Williams College to support video based scholarship on campus.
