Standards for media creation exist because:

  • media is now an important part of our curriculum.
  • student expectations for media have risen.
  • new research has surfaced about how to facilitate learning with videos.
  • standards will help our faculty to create consistently high quality media.

Types of support available from Teaching and Learning Technology:
