Clackamas Community College Clackamas is in the process of setting up a multimedia lab at its CCC Wilsonville/Oregon Ad vanced Technology Center cam pus. The new lab will offer multi media seminars on topics such as CD-ROM authoring and how to start and finance a CD-ROM business. Courses will also be taught in designing and manag ing World Wide Web pages. Fees for use of the facility and seminars will vary on the target audience. As an example, a semi nar for students on web page authoring, would be as inexpen sive as possible, while something more challenging that would give individuals a chance to make more money with the same time and equipment would cost be tween $100-200 for a two day workshop. These classes will be open to anyone who wants to come. How ever, Ken Roth, head of the lab, does want to let them know that if they have little experience with computers or video editing, they could probably spend their money better elsewhere getting those skills. - The lab is the outgrowth of a grant award from Mount Hood Regional Strategies Board (MHRSB), whose responsibility it is to dole out lottery dollars for economic development. The grant was awarded last spring and the contract between the Ad vanced Technology Center in Wilsonville and the MHRSB was signed in June. The multimedia lab will not be open to students initially, un less someone wishes to work there as an intern. Rather than being student body focused, Roth says, “A primary focus of the lab is to develop the multimedia industry in the state.” This includes as sistance for emerging and estab lished businesses in order for them to do more and do it better. It will also assist in developing new talent to support the busi nesses once they are up and run ning. The prerequisites for attend ing seminars or using the lab are currently open, case by case. They interview people who will be us ing the facility to determine what their knowledge base is. Roth feels that users need to be fairly familiar with Macintosh technology and software. They should also be willing to put quite a bit of time into getting up to speed. Roth advises people who are interested to just call and ask. He warned that the lab wouldn’t be a place to just learn applica tions or hardware without a spe cific goal. They intend to have a mechanism in place whereby people can submit a project plan that outlines goals and how they plan to reach the goals. If they seem serious, the lab will help them. The lab is to be self-support ing, which means they will have to charge larger fees than normal college activities and services. Right now, Roth expects to do a lot of networking to determine ways to generate ongoing support, in order to develop and sell their services. In December they will be of fering a demonstration of a new authoring software called MovieWorks. They hope to do this in conjunction with a local multimedia publisher at the publisher’s offices, because they photo by Tim Countryman Pianist and Concord Jazz recording artist Walter Norris gave a performance and workshop last Wednesday in Randall Hall. Norris was born in Arkansas and now resides in Berlin, Germany. He was a pianist for several jazz artists in the ‘50s and ‘60s including Stan Getz, Zoot Sims and Shorty Rogers. have a Macintosh network and the software isn’t PC compatible yet. “I saw the product at a re cent conference and found it ex tremely easy to use and quite pow erful.” said Roth. Another workshop is sched uled for January 1996. It will be on clearing rights for CD projects and raising venture capital to pro duce CD programs and start CD companies. There will also be an attorney who specializes in mul timedia there to tell the attendees about securing rights and venture financing. Other workshops and seminars might deal with steps to produce a CD project and authoring for the World Wide Web. Seminars are not currently being held in lab. This is because they only have limited equipment right now. Roth explains that they wanted to hold off buying more until they had a better idea where the program was going. He feels that they have the idea now and are trying to look for ways to stretch their money so they can better equip the lab. “Starting something from scratch and building it for the long haul takes time.” Roth ex plained. He expects the lab to be here in five years, and be doing some “pretty terrific stuff’ then. Education cuts may affect federal aid recipients Dan Anderson Staff Writer Congress is currently consid ering legislation that would cut roughly ten million dollars from the education budget, affecting all students seeking federal grants or loans, and changing other laws re lated to the repayment of these loans.
