This course will focus on multimedia applications that can be used to help members / volunteers to effectively deliver announcements, information, or achievements across several communication mediums.
The first half of the course will focus on the definition of multimedia, and then center on graphic editing using several open-source applications that are available in the Westminster Computer Lab. The second half of the course will focus on audio editing, and multiple composition and collaboration applications, as well as video editing. A demonstration that "brings together" all multimedia elements in the course will be shown, which in turn, will be presented to the class as well as the congregation.
