Academic Multimedia Services
Academic Multimedia Services (AMS) is a service provided to the faculty and students of American University through the University Library. The mission of the AMS team is to offer AU faculty and students an increased interactive experience with teaching and learning beyond the classroom by utilizing media on a number of platforms.
The goal of AMS is to allow faculty the ability to teach further, move beyond the traditional boundaries of the classroom with their lectures, research and publications. The use of these mediums will enhance American University's contributions and reputation to the global academic world.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I request AMS for an event?
Requests for AMS can be made through the extension 3698, or at ams@american.edu
How soon should I request AMS to record an event?
All AMS requests for recording an event, lecture or interview must be made at least two weeks prior to the date of the event, or as soon as the event is scheduled within the requesting department. All requests are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.
When will I receive my content?
Most post-production editing for podcasts can take anywhere between 25-30 hours of editing time. This includes adding graphics and other media related to the project. We strive to post completed podcasts in a timely fashion.
How long does a podcast stay online?
Posted materials are a permanent part of the Internet unless there is a request to remove content or the podcast needs to be updated.
Can AMS produce projects outside of its mission?
The AMS team provides full production and post-production services for AU departments and outside vendors that wish to create media. Please view our production rate sheet to learn more about our capabilities.
