Multimedia built for the web
• Multimedia content (just like all content) should be designed for the web – not just “recycled” and posted.
• Choose your format to best match the goal of the content (i.e. teach, practice, play, etc.)
• When adding media avoid a cluttered site keep it clean

Video
• Information or news vs. training
• Make sure your audience knows what to expect – length of video, time to download type of video, type of content and intended audience.

Guidelines for creating online video content:
• Avoid using video if the content doesn't take advantage of the medium's dynamic nature. – Better for things that work better on film than
they would as a combination of photos and text.
– Or supplement video with text or highlights.

Webcasting
What is webcasting?
• Webcasting allows statewide website administrators to capture and stream live or archived audiovisual content over the internet.
• Using a Flash-based tool created by Illinois Legal Aid Online, a user can webcast content using only a webcam and a laptop with a broadband internet connection.
• Potential uses of this tool include producing online trainings for legal services advocates and pro bono attorneys, as well as developing pro se content for clients.

Webcasting vs. Video
• Think of as two different types of media –– Webcasting captures a live meeting/training
audience should expect that.– Video produced for the web should follow
web guidelines.
• For both provide information for your audience on what to expect (i.e. length of time, this is a lecture, etc.)
