TLOS Media Hub at Whittemore Hall

Introduction

The TLOS Media Hub at Whittemore Hall provides access to immersive media technologies that support instruction, including a podcasting suite, green screen/virtual production studio, motion capture, LiDAR scanning, virtual reality, and 360° display. The Media Hub was developed to allow users to explore emerging technology, prototype a new learning experience, develop media for research dissemination, or collaborate with colleagues on a project that crosses disciplinary boundaries. Through one-on-one consultations, the TLOS Instructional Media team will guide you to identify the best approach to realize your idea. You will receive support to plan and produce your project, create accessible content, and integrate media meaningfully into your course or project.

Where is the Media Hub?

The Media Hub is located in Whittemore Hall at 1185 Perry Street. Consultation and production spaces are located on sections of the first and second floors. We’ll likely schedule your initial visit in room 295 or our small conference room, 289. Our large studio is located in room 173. Your appointment confirmation will include the meeting location.
