JISC Digital Media Announces New Consultation Scheme
JISC Digital Media today announces the launch of Video Assist, a new service offering free in-depth support to projects in higher and further education institutions which require the creation of moving image resources.
Video Assist provides a service to complement JISC Digital Media's existing support framework of a helpdesk, advice documents and workshops.
A project which qualifies for Video Assist will receive 4 days' worth in total of bespoke off-site support and on-site supervision, helping the project to achieve its ambitions more quickly and effectively.
The interaction with project personnel will embed skills and knowledge, leaving as a legacy a team of people able to carry out similar work in the future with a new degree of skill and professionalism.
Video Assist will run during the 2009-2010 academic year in three rounds, with two projects selected for support in each round. The schedule for the three rounds is as follows:
Round 1
3 July 09 deadline for submission of proposals
31 July 09 announcement of successful proposals
31 Aug 09 commencement of Video Assist
18 Dec 09 completion of Video Assist for round 1
