Abstract:

The New Media department of the Francisco Marroquín University (UFM) in Guatemala supports students and faculty in the use, creation, and management of digital resources. This paper reports the insights gained by the UFM after a three-year project that focused on the design and production of rich media content, i.e., the integration of video, text, images, and navigational devices that complement web-based and traditional learning. The toolset used for rich media development was created by nTropic, Inc. and beta-tested at the UFM. The rich media production process, as well as cataloging and digital preservation are addressed.
