[edit] Overview
Compared to ten years ago, the tools and processes involved in designing, acquiring, producing, authoring, digitizing, converting, and distributing media for On-Demand consumption are far more simpler, user-friendly and accessible at reasonable prices than ever before. If time and personnel resources are available, you may wish to try your own hand at building Media On Demand through your departmental or college web resources. Listed below are a collection of resources to consult, many of which are referenced elsewhere in the MODwiki for the University of Utah, but are repeated here for convenience.
[edit] Guidelines
Please reference the University of Utah's Statement of Recommendations regarding Media On Demand. This statement is located on the Office of Information Technology's website at...

[edit] Keep Informed... Media On Demand Forum/LIFT
The discussion topics, issues, opportunities, and IT infrastructures associated with the creation, publication, distribution, and maintenance of Media On Demand reources are broad and deep. The technology, services, and applications associated with Media On Demand change rapidly and frequently. Consequently, there is a need to provide a forum for the demonstration of new technologies and ideas, with provision for Q&A about implementations, costs, and availabilities.
The University of Utah already has numerous established forums and committees that meet regularly. A listing of such groups if available through the University of Utah Office of IT website under Committees & Groups. The URL link is http://www.it.utah.edu/leadership/committees/index.html. There you will find additional links for these groups...
- Information Technology Council (ITC)
- Information Technology Advisory Council (ITAC)
- IT Managers Forum
- Mac Managers
- Webmasters
- U Web Advisory Committee
- Network Research Forum
- Wireless Committee
Other entities across the campus also host information technology updates and sessions.
The Media On Demand Committee, rather than create an additional set of meetings to address MOD issues and opportunities, has opted to partner with the Library and Information Technology Forum--LIFT in order to keep the University community updated.
The purpose of the Library and Information Technology Forum is to inform the University of Utah community about electronic information resources, and current trends in the use of computers and online technologies for accessing these resources. The Forum is generally held the second Wednesday of each month between September and May, in the Health Sciences Education Building, Room 2680.
If you would like to suggest a Forum topic or Media On Demand demonstration or discussion, or if you need more information please contact Jeanne Le Ber, Forum Coordinator; phone 801-585-6744 or e-mail jeannele@lib.med.utah.edu.
