Staffs Uni Media Centre

Level 5 students 10/02/12.... Your craft session with Colin Mottram today has been canceled due to illness. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Got your own hard-drive/laptop that you use in the Media Centre? Then come on down to our amazing PAT testing day on Wednesday 8th February between 10.45-11.30am. You can get this done for just £1.00 per item! What a deal!

Students can now register with Lynda.com, a free on-line video tutorial database containing thousands of videos relating to video/editing software.
To register, log-on to Blackboard and follow the advertised link.

Please note: initial registration can only be done from a University machine.

Due to low demand, the Media Centre will be closed this week for evening access. We will be open for normal daytime hours from 9.00-5.00.

The Newsroom door codes have now changed. All students who use this facility will receive an email with the new door codes.
