The Digital Production Resource Center fosters collaborative teaching
environments and builds learning communities. It helps promote Problem
Based Learning (PBL) and Experiential Learning opportunities.
The Digital Production Resource Center serves as a resource to URI
faculty, researchers, and their team of Student Technology Assistants.
It provides many of the resources necessary to produce and deliver
a wide range of professional, broadcast-quality multimedia instructional
materials for the classroom and the Web.
In addition to the acquisition and creation of new digital material,
URI faculty and researchers possess a tremendous amount of non-digital
archived materials. Even at top-level research institutions such as
URI, these materials often never get incorporated into the educational
landscape. The Digital Production Resource Center (DPRC) provides the
technical resources required to incorporate the non-digital material
into a digital production environment. Once converted, this unique
and important archived information will become part of students' educational
experiences.
