Due to the specialized nature of the equipment in the studios, we require users to review some training materials before reserving the studios. The training materials will introduce you to the equipment in the recording studios and elsewhere in the Media Scholarship Commons.
Everyone must pass the rules and expectations quiz. The link to the quiz is at the end of the training. In order to access the final quizzes, you are required to take, you will need to self-enroll in the Multimedia Studios Canvas Course first.
Rules and expectations for the Multimedia Studios
You can access the full training materials in the Multimedia Studios Canvas course. Completing the training demonstrates that you are familiar with the equipment.

The Video Recording Studio is only available during unstaffed hours on weekdays and weekends to users who do not need any assistance. There are only two possible uses for the studio at these times: creating a single camera video presentation and recording a Lightboard presentation. To reserve the Video Recording studio after hours for these uses, you must complete relevant training and pass the quizzes. You will be solely responsible for resetting the studio to make it ready for the next person.
