Digital Media Production Studio
Purpose
The primary purpose of the Digital Media Production Studio is to support academic instruction and student learning for the IU School of Liberal Arts. Highest priority is given to the use of the studio space and equipment, including field equipment, for classroom instruction and lab time.
When the studio is not in use classes or labs, Liberal Arts faculty and staff may use designated portions of the studio, in-studio equipment, or field equipment for projects in support of the School.
Students who are enrolled in media production-related courses (e.g., Introduction to Television Production, Audio Production and Podcasting) or who participate in media production-related registered student organizations (e.g., The Campus Citizen) may also use designated portions of the studio, in-studio equipment, or field equipment, when not in use for classes or labs.
Note: The IU School of Liberal Arts reserves the right to take corrective action with students who do not return equipment in a similar working condition as when checked-out or who fail to return equipment.
