At the University of Massachusetts Amherst, instructors are increasingly utilizing active,group, and participatory teaching methods and are offering students opportunities to opt into more creative assignments requiring the use of advanced technologies in support of multimedia projects. Traditionally, video projects would be expected from discourses such as Film Studies, Journalism and Communications students; the insurgence of this type of multimedia project has come to subjects from Anthropology to History, and the incoming required Freshman Writing course now has a built-in unit which specifically invites writing and research in a variety of technological media outside of the traditional research paper. The University of Massachusetts Amherst Library system aims to anticipate the needs of instructors and students by tailoring student spaces to support teaching and learning goals. Working closely with the Office of Information Technologies, we are building a Multimedia Production space to meet the increasing needs of general students as the curriculum continues to change. This space will include video and audio recording and production areas, as well as video and audio recording equipment that students may borrow, hardware and software to edit multimedia projects, and areas within which students can view their finished projects and practice their presentation skills in front of their peers. This presentation will outline the process by which the University Libraries is creating this multimedia production space, including historical background on the Learning Commons, needs assessment, facilities planning, and instruction coordination.
