Formerly known as TASI, JISC Digital Media is the new digital media centre of excellence for the further and higher education sectors. JISC Digital Media provides advice and guidance in all aspects of creating and using moving images, still images and sound resources within learning, teaching and research.

Video Assist provides a service to complement JISC Digital Media's existing support framework of a helpdesk, advice documents and workshops.

A project which qualifies for Video Assist will receive 4 days' worth in total of bespoke off-site support and on-site supervision, helping the project to achieve its ambitions more quickly and effectively.

The interaction with project personnel will embed skills and knowledge, leaving as a legacy a team of people able to carry out similar work in the future with a new degree of skill and professionalism.

Video Assist will run during the 2009-2010 academic year in three rounds, with two projects selected for support in each round. For more information about the scheme, schedule details for the three rounds and guidance on how to apply please visit www.jiscdigitalmedia.ac.uk/video-assist/
