Digital Conversion
What is it?
Digital conversion is the process of converting analog and outdated digital media materials into a digital format you can utilize in the classroom or online.
How can it help?
Having your materials available in a format that is readily accessible to you and your students can reduce frustration and expedite the teaching process. If you have precious materials that should be preserved, conversion to a digital format can not only extend the life of the materials but also make them available to a wider audience.
Main Points to Consider
- Request the service 2 weeks in advance.
- When requesting the conversion of copyrighted materials, a release form signed by the copyright holder must be provided to MediaVision staff (see Resources section for example release form).
- Digital materials made available online must adhere to accessibility standards. Please see Accessibility Requirements for details.
- MediaVision staff can work with the following formats: VHS, SVHS, DVD, MiniDV, DVCam Film as well as a variety of other media materials.
