The heart of a learning application is instructional design and a sound design framework ultimately determines educational effectiveness. The Media Innovation Team’s instructional design services are rooted in strategic learning principles coupled with proven theoretical practices, and then custom-tailored in order to deliver a uniquely enriching educational experience for your students or audience.

In order to entice a web visitor to explore and learn, 21^st Century websites must encourage easy navigation through the use of appealing, highly intuitive graphics and page layouts. The MIT will work closely with you throughout the project development process in order to identify the most effective methods for connecting your project goals with your students or target audience. The Team will then organize your content and create a visually distinctive, highly accessible website. (Your website can be designed to capture valuable data, as well.)

In order to maximize the impact and effectiveness of your project, the Media Innovation Team keeps current and fluent in a wide range of cutting-edge multimedia technologies.  From 3-D animation to interactive games and quizzes, the Team will collaborate with you in order to determine the best way to captivate and engage your students or audience.

The potential of video for narrative storytelling is unmatched, since words, images, music, graphics, and commentary, when artfully interwoven, convey a very powerful message. The Media Innovation Team’s full-service video production staff is available to shoot in high definition, cover live events, create documentaries, enhance classroom learning materials, and develop DVDs. The Team’s partnership with WUSF-TV offers the added flexibility of shooting in two state-of-the-art studios, and provides a prospective broadcast venue for clients and faculty. The MIT is fully equipped to handle every aspect of your audio and video needs.

A successful web application often increases efficiency, captures and organizes data, reduces cost, and optimizes productivity. With this in mind, the MIT’s application developers and software engineers work to construct information technology solutions that promote organizational effectiveness, while appealing to your end users. As instructional and informational technologies continually converge, the MIT is uniquely qualified to address both ends of the technology spectrum and the magic in between.
