New multi-media hub in Melbourne

A new multi-media hub at the Victorian Arts Centre will offer students the chance to learn skills useful for jobs in game development, animation, film, music, web development and the performing arts.

Victorian Minister for the Arts Peter Batchelor says the facilities at the new Arts Centre Digital Learning Hub would ensure the centre moved with the times. “The Hub will enable students and young people to learn about sound recording, engineering and new digital frontiers that are impacting on the arts scene."

Mr Batchelor says the Arts Centre’s education team will use the new Hub "to guide participants through an amazing array of options including courses in animation, film techniques and the latest music and web technology".

“Most young people are tech-savvy. They own tools of modern technology, know the buttons to push and create their own content in ways other generations could never have imagined. What the Digital Learning Hub does is harness the enthusiasm and willingness of young minds to go further, to challenge technology and to create new and exciting projects.”

The new facilities include:

* Video production and editing equipment with green screen capability so that students can create digital video content for their projects
* A separate state-of-the-art recording studio with a world class vocal booth and a fully digital mixing system
* Video conferencing facilities which can link directly to over 1550 Victorian State schools.
