The project is co-ordinated by Skills International GmbH, Oberfahrenbach 59, 8452 Großklein, Austria. For more information contact office@skills-int.com.
Learning Goals
- Trainees know different forms of components for digital film making including hardware, software and channels for upload.
- Trainees are able to develop simple short video lectures for adult education.
- Trainees are able to integrate simple 3D visualisation effects.
Your instructor: Andrea Fenz is an EU programme and project manager with expertise in internet, communications and training material production. She is the former director of the Regional Contact Point Southern Austria for European Programmes and actual director of Skills International GmbH, Austria.
