Management

Multimedia Production
With the advances of multimedia production in a wide variety of areas, the Division of Multimedia Production would provide a way to network individuals engaged in multimedia production in both national and international settings. At annual meetings, the division would develop a program that shares the latest tools in multimedia production, increase awareness of developmental tools for multimedia production and provide a collaborative environment for multimedia producers to establish a connection with technology and communication specialists that are not currently served. Through our collaborative effort it is our ultimate purpose to participate in the international dialogue that defines standardization and acceptable best practices of multimedia in the educational and communication process.
