Distance Learning Meetup
Saturday, July 11, 5pm - 6:30pm
at O'Charleys (private room), 2039 Crescent Centre Blvd, Tucker, GA
Whether you want to learn or teach, the Distance Learning Meetup will be a meeting of minds discussing the future of online video and live training solutions in a casual environment. Dinner serves as a perfect excuse to reveal our inner geek-ness about screen sharing, video chatting, and multimedia training materials.
In attendance:
Jim Kanter, Apple Certified Training Program, Digital Film Institute
The Digital Film Institute was started in 2004 in response to the growing need for a training center that offers state-of-the-art facilities with outstanding student-centered instructors. Education Director Jim Kanter had previously built up the digital video departments for other training companies but grew frustrated with their failure to maintain a high quality learning environment. He and his wife started the Digital Film Institute with the goal of providing the best learning experience for people working with film and digital video.
