Web and Multimedia Services
The Faculty encourages the utilisation and development of multimedia to support teaching and learning in its subjects. These efforts are coordinated by the Assistant Dean (IT) in conjunction with the Faculty's Web and Multimedia Development Manager. The Faculty also has representatives on the University Multimedia Coordinators Forum and the University Teaching & Learning (Multimedia & Educational Technologies) Committee (TaLMET).
The Faculty offers on-line material to support many of its subjects through the University WebRAFT system and the Learning Management System (LMS) and is seeking to further its multimedia offerings to on-line units within subjects and flexible delivery modes. The Faculty is involved in the LMS pilot during 2006.
For further information, contact Tony Zara, Web and Multimedia Development Manager, or Jules Moloney, Assistant Dean (IT).

Faculty Multimedia Lab
The Faculty's multimedia lab is located in the postgraduate computer lab on the first floor of the Old Commerce building. A PC workstation is available for all multimedia development needs. This machine is set up with software including Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Flash and Illustrator. The PC supports CD and DVD-writing and archiving peripherals, and is attached to an A3 color scanner, an A4 color scanner and a high resolution slide scanner.
Due to the high demand for these facilities, staff must now have a booking to use this lab. To make a booking, send an email to Tony Zara with a preferred timeslot. If any assistance is required during your timeslot, please indicate this and provide details of the level of assistance required.
