eTV is currently developing a series of training videos documenting the entire procedure of changing landing gear to floats on a small aircraft. The segments were shot at the Stevenson Aviation Campus and eTV is in the process of completing the editing and scripting of the videos. Students will have on-demand access to the video series, supplementing their in-class learning.

In conjunction with the Nursing Department, eTV is producing a series of procedural clips on nursing techniques.  Our new mobile production unit (we’d appreciated name suggests) allows us to meet increasing demand for high quality, video based learning materials. The production unit consists of three HD cameras, a switcher, audio and lighting gear for anywhere – anytime production. In addition, the unit will allow us to stream live multi-camera events from anywhere in the building. The material being produced for Nursing will also soon be available on mobile devices for students on the go.
