The world of communications is changing continuously. With the explosion of YouTube, Facebook, social networks and the internet, the way we communicate with each other has eliminated the barriers of time and distatnce. The Technology we use in our daily lives is changing the communications landscape with such things in cellular video phones, blogs, bluetooth, and wireless networking. This course will utilize some of these concepts in assembling a student portfolio of works. \\
Communication Production Technology (CPT) 20 is an intermediate course, building on the skills and technology introduced in CPT 10. This course will incorporate more advanced skills and technology in the combined areas of video, audio and multimedia. Students will take a behind the scenes look at a major Hollywood production film, to appreciate the importance of the preproduction planning, production and post production editing, in completing a final production of their own. The course also includes exploration of communication strategies and delivery on the internet in the world of social networking. \\
For the purpose of this course, students should have access to a method of recording video. This could be a video camera or video cell phone. They should also have access to a computer capable of loading video for the purpose of editing and internet publication. In the interest of cost and portability, we will make use of many free and powerful open source applications available on the internet. We will also investigate the commercial applications available for both PC and Macintosh computer platforms.

"The course I designed for Saskatoon Catholic Cyberschool is a product of completing my Masters Degree in Educational Communications from University of Saskatchewan. It is founded in research, the result of much hard work in overcoming many design and delivery challenges. I was very excited to submit this course to the BBEC program. I truly enjoy designing new and exciting teaching methods for today's students in online instruction. Recognition by Blackboard at this level is a compliment to my efforts but also puts a spotlight on the experiences and mentors I have had along the way both in the Masters program at the University of Saskatchewan and at Cyberschool. \\
"The greatest satisfaction to me is the recognition this designation will bring to the Saskatoon Catholic Cyberschool as a world class online institution. As an olympic athlete reaps the rewards of his training and hard work in bringing home the gold metal for his country, I feel equally as proud to bring home this award to the Saskatoon Catholic Cyberschool. It is very rewarding to "officially" join the ranks of the many talented designers I have had the privilege of working with in receiving this award."
