Tutorials and How-To Guides

The Multimedia Lab offers a wide variety of multimedia software applications on both our Mac and PC stations.  Below are some resources to help you learn how to use the multimedia software available in the lab.  After reviewing these tutorials and how-to guides, if you need additional assistance, the Multimedia Lab has student workers available to help you learn to develop your materials on your own.  Note:  Student workers are available to assist on a limited basis.  There are times that the lab is unmanned, but available for your use.  Student worker schedules are posted on the Multimedia Lab Home Page.
