Multimedia Lab Resources

Want to make a promo video for your student group? A professional, large-scale poster? A 3D-printed model of a project? A podcast? The Creative Technology Assistants at the Multimedia Labs on campus have you covered. From support for creating video and audio projects to trainings to get you started with 3D and large format printing, the Multimedia Labs on campus provide the Brown community with inclusive, adaptive, and experimental spaces across campus that are equipped with the technological and innovative support needed to inspire creative digital production and facilitate the vision of our community. 

To gain access to these resources or to learn more about how the Multimedia Labs can help your student group create digital projects, complete the MML member orientation or schedule a one-on-one training.

Websites

According to University Communications, students are encouraged to use third-party services such as SquareSpace, Wix or WordPress.com for building and hosting websites. USC-recognized student organizations that choose to have websites and seek reimbursement or payment by the Student Activities Office P-card for website expenses must use platforms to host their websites that are approved by the Office of Information Technology (OIT). The list of OIT-approved platforms is available here.

Drupal Cloud, the University's Drupal-based web content management system (CMS), is reserved for school, department, program, office, institute and center websites only. Sites.Brown, the University's self-service platform for individual, lab, and conference websites, is for use by Brown faculty and staff only. If your group has an existing BrownSite and needs access, e-mail web@brown.edu.
