Technology Resource Center

This is the training facility provided under the Title III Strengthening Institutions Grant to help integrate multimedia technology into the curriculum at Merced College. Run by Manuel Costa, the faculty and staff of Merced College can receive training at the TRC involving the use of a variety of multimedia technologies.

This training includes software packages like Microsoft PowerPoint, Macromedia Authorware, Adobe PhotoShop, Adobe Premiere, Adobe PageMill, and others. The training also includes instruction on how to use scanners, video digitizers, multimedia presentation equipment, and other devices to successfully create and present multimedia course ware.

The task of training instructors in world wide web page development has been passed to Guy Near. The TRC facilities such as scanner, video capture device, digital cameras, etc. are still available to faculty and staff that are developing web sites.
