Creating and distributing DVDs for courses is often overlooked as a method of delivering important materials. The Media Lab is capable of producing DVD's for both set-top (television) and computer systems.

Many of our other services including eLearning, Video Services and Web Design can be outputted to a DVD disc.

Benefits of using DVD?s on campus include:

• Cost effective - DVD's can cost anywhere between $3.00 and $5.00 to reproduce, saving your students money
  
• Interactivity - eLearning products on a DVD disc provide students with a deeper level of interaction and quick access to web-resources
• Longevity - students have an artifact from the class to retain long after online access is lost
• Reduced paper-usage ? students can choose to print only the relevant notes from a disc
• Scalability - a single disc holds hundreds of times more content than a book

Drawbacks to using DVD's on campus:

• Despite being plastic, DVD's are not recyclable*
  
• It's easier to lose a DVD than a book
• Once scratched or bent, the Disc may not play again
