Short Description:

This book is being developed to support my COMM 274, Introduction to Audio/Video Production course. This type of course is commonly taught in Communication curriculum where there is broadcasting, digital media, or media production emphasis. My goal is to create an Open Educational Resource (OER) that Communication faculty can use in its entirety or in pieces for courses similar to mine. My course is primarily a project-based course, and I want this document to provide the fundamental information that students will need to be successful in the course. I welcome any faculty and interested parties who want to participate to create a textbook that students will use to further their academic and professional goals.
