2003 InfoComm Exhibition and Trade Show
Jose Melendez and Lee Anderson were awarded Title III funds to attend
InfoComm in Orlando, Florida, the largest annual A/V equipment exhibition
held in the US. Some of the sessions attended included "Practical Lighting
Solutions for Video Conference Spaces", "Video Production for Streaming",
and even a behind the scenes A/V tour of Disney World! From the conference
sessions, Jose was able to gain some real world tools to implement in
daily operations specifically in the areas of video conferencing, and
distance learning classroom using two way interactive television systems.
Lee also attended classes while attending the show. The classes were helpful
to Lee since he installs systems for learning at NRCC.
Some or the classes were:
- Fiber Optic System Architecture and Applications for AV
- Effective Sound Reinforcement Systems
- LCD Projectors
- DLP Projectors
2003 Society for Applied Learning Technologies (SALT) Conference

Education and Technology 2003 Conference in Arlington, VA with the help of Title III funding. Heidi and Adam attended several sessions on integrating technology into adult learning and also presented a session titled "Customizing Instructional Technology Solutions for Instructors".
