Faculty Media Workstation

Hardware
Software

The Faculty Media Workstation, located within ITS on the third floor of Burke Library, is a development and production workspace specifically for faculty use. In this space, faculty can explore Graphics (Adobe Creative Suite), Video (iMovie/Final Cut Pro), Audio (Soundtrack/Logic), 3-D (MAYA) and multimodal project development and production independently or in consultation with instructional technologists. Entry level through professional level multimedia software and peripherals can scale to suit individual teaching or research needs. To make an appointment or reserve time to work in this facility, just email mpc@hamilton.edu.

 

 
Faculty Media Workstation Policies
Camera & Peripheral Equipment Loan – Faculty can borrow peripheral equipment for academic project development from the Faculty Media Workstation (FMWS) for up to two weeks at a time.  Students may borrow from a separate group of course support cameras with faculty permission emailed to mpc@hamilton.edu.

Project Storage and File Management – Projects created on the faculty media workstation are the responsibility of the creator.  We attempt to back-up all projects on the FMWS scratch disk to another local hard drive.  We will maintain a copy of all project work we have a backed-up for 4 months.  We  suggest that an archive quality copy of each project be made and taken by the author as soon as the project is finished. All projects older than 4 months will be deleted from the workstation and back-up drives.
