Audio, video, and multimedia content can enhance college websites and provide visitors with a view of the college that can't be expressed with just text and images. It is possible to go overboard with this type of content and annoy visitors more than interesting them. In many cases, less is more.
Find out how other colleges use audio, video, and multimedia content to create engaging websites, and learn what things work best and what to avoid. You'll see real-world examples and go home with ideas for improving your site. Some technical information will be covered, but this will not be a session about how to use software or web programming.
