Someone else’s kit

December 26th, 2006 · No Comments

This is a checklist for someone who’s been asked to train people at a centre to make a digital story and to leave some skills behind so people at that centre can continue to make stories after the initial trainer’s moved on…

I wouldn’t expect every machine at most centres in this country to be capable of producing video. That may not be a problem though. Here are examples of questions to ask about the computers:

- got both Firewire and USB 2 ports?
- got more that 512MB of ram?
- got soundcard and video card?
- got hard drive of more than 40GB?
- got DVD burner?
- are administrator permissions set up so video can be stored and produced?
- got the same software as in the instruction manuals left behind there?
- etc.
