Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

This course offers a comprehensive exploration into preparing projects for distribution, covering marketing technologies, streaming, media outlets, and social media with a focus on quality control and accessibility. Students will gain practical skills in digital editing and compression software, understand distribution outlets, and learn strategies for engaging audiences effectively.

This is a fully online, 11-week course. This is different than a Remote class. We do not meet at a regularly scheduled time.

All of your work will be completed asynchronously (on your own time) in D2L Brightspace.

This is not a self-paced class. Modules, Lessons, Lectures, Quizzes, and Project Assignments have specific due dates. Each week's work is due by Sunday night.

The technical requirements for most online classes include access to a computer with a modern operating system and a supported web browser

You may complete coursework in the computer labs in Cascade MAHB 215, 217, 219, or at the Cascade Library.
