Also, the Multimedia Design Centre at DTLS offers the option of fully supported development for 'going online'. If, due to Research or Teaching workloads, you are unable to do this work yourself the Multimedia Design Centre staff will develop your course for you. The support is free of charge for undergraduate programs and will include access to multimedia and educational design services, graphic artists, programmers and web developers. At the completion of your course the Multimedia Design Centre will provide a brief one-on-one instructional session to ensure you know how to use the 'tools' you have selected for your course. If you would like support for your course or program simply make contact with either Marlene Page on 9120 or Leonie Power, Acting Associate Director Multimedia Design Centre at l.power@cqu.edu.au or 4930 9322
