Dear colleagues
JISC Digital Media (formerly TASI) has just published its new series of courses
for the summer term. The full list of courses is available here:
<http://www.jiscdigitalmedia.ac.uk/training/>
Following the expansion of our remit into moving images and sound, we have
started to augment our comprehensive list of courses. Our "Digitising
Analogue Video Recordings" course has proved immensely popular and booked
up almost overnight. For the summer term we have two of these workshops
scheduled: one on 15 May and one on 4 August:

recordings/>
Our new "Audio Production: Recording Lectures, Seminars, Interviews and
Podcasts" has also proved very popular and this is due to run again on 26
June:

recording-lectures-seminars-interviews-podcasts/>
We are also currently in the process of writing a host of other new courses
involving moving images and audio which will be appearing in the autumn term -
more details to follow shortly.
"Copyright and Digital Images" has been one of our most popular courses since
its launch several years ago. Both spring term courses booked up almost
immediately so we are offering two chances to attend this workshop in the
summer term: firstly on 19 May and again on 7 July. This course is run by
Naomi Korn, an independent Intellectual Property Rights consultant; a leading
expert in the field and a very highly rated trainer:

images/>
If you require any guidance on building image collections or improving your
Photoshop skills, there are still several places available on the courses running
in March. Due to demand we have also just added a new date for Essential
Techniques in Digital Image Capture on 28 April. This course will enable you to
really get to grips with scanning images and using a digital SLR. Full details are
available here:
<http://www.jiscdigitalmedia.ac.uk/training/>
All of these courses are scheduled to run in Bristol. However, we are often
able to provide training for you in your institution and almost all of our
workshops can be requested as a one-to-one (see the training page on our
website for details).
If you would like any further information about the training that JISC Digital
Media can offer please contact me directly by phone or e-mail - details below.
Best wishes
Dave Kilbey
