Educators today regularly use streaming video and other online multimedia resources in the classroom to enliven instruction, spark discussion, and engage students. However, rolling out such a digital resource across an entire institution, multiple campuses, or even online, can pose significant technological and pedagogical challenges.

• Deliver online multimedia resources to multiple users from multiple access points
• Provide training and ongoing instructional and technical support
• Ensure widespread adoption across the entire institution

During this WebEx, Eric Kunnen will share his institution's decision-making process, discuss implementation best-practices and lessons learned, and ultimately lay out the framework that led to GRCC's successful implementation of NBC News Archives On Demand.

1. Steps to take to overcome the natural barriers experienced while rolling out a campus-wide instructional resource across an institution.
2. Best practices to develop a comprehensive plan to train faculty, and test and implement a new multimedia instructional resource.
