Video Tag SmallThe Digital Commons is a University-wide initiative to help enrich students’ educations by creating digital content for their coursework. The Digital Commons will provide all campuses within Penn State with a common set of computing tools, a common set of support materials, and a common set of opportunities to create digital media of all kinds. The Digital Commons will also help educate faculty, staff, and students on the appropriate uses of digital media. TLT has committed to installing up to fifteen Digital Commons studios during the 2007-2008 fiscal year, with the remainder of campuses being completed during the 2008-2009 fiscal year.

Audio Tag SmallWhile video production has been at the core of our efforts, an increasingly popular activity within the Digital Commons is the production of audio. Each Digital Commons facility is stocked with some of the best audio recording equipment available to support podcasting. Additionally, each studio has professional lighting, digital video equipment, green screens and more.
