UC Davis Selected as Site for New Media Center

Efforts to bring multimedia capabilities into the classroom got an enormous boost this spring when UC Davis was selected to participate in the national New Media Centers program. The New Media Center will provide a focal point for developing, producing, and distributing multimedia instructional materials.

To be housed in three locations on campus and staffed by artists, photographers, audiovisual technicians, an animator, and technical professionals, the program will deliver multimedia materials and tools to faculty through the campus network.

UC Davis was one of 30 institutions across the country chosen for the program this year out of some 100 applicants. Associate Vice Chancellor for Information Technology, Carole Barone, was recently named to the eleven-member New Media Center Board, which consists of corporate and academic representatives.
