Audio
Audio materials to be posted on the CLS's Digital Audio Website will be digitized by the CLS upon submission of a Service Request form. Digitizing of audio is limited to transferring the entirety of the original submission. For assistance in learning how to edit your material, contact us directly.
In addition, iMacs with Apple’s iMovie software are available in the CLS Faculty Development Lab for language faculty interested in digitizing and editing their own audio. Instruction on this process is available from technology support staff.
Video
Web-based distribution of films and other full-length videos may soon be done through Yale's ShareStream project. Instructors interested in
distributing video in this manner may contact any member of the
Technology and Project Development staff for more information. Note: This project is in pilot phase during Fall 2009.
In addition, computer stations are available in the CLS Faculty
Development Lab (room B06) for language faculty interested in digitizing and
editing their own video. Instruction on this process is available from
technology support staff.
