The DMC has staff available to show you how to use the equipment and software. Certain jobs which require extended lengths of time such as burning of CDs or compressing video may be left with staff to complete. Although walk-ins are welcome, appointments by phone or email are requested so we may set-up equipment and software ahead of time. If you would like to make an appointment or have questions, please go to the Contacts page.

Faculty and staff who require help with various software are welcome to visit the DMC for individualized help. We can provide introductory training with software such as Photoshop, PowerPoint, Dreamweaver, iMovie, iDVD, WebCT and others. For a listing of software we support, go to the Media Tools page.
