The Challenge
Full Sail University, a leading institution in multimedia and entertainment education, faced the challenge of providing its students with hands-on experience in audio, video, and music technology. The goal was to prepare students for successful careers in the digital media and entertainment industry. The university needed to maintain state-of-the-art technology for audio and video editing, live sound, and music notation. The challenge was to ensure that the technology used in the university's labs and studios mirrored the production and recording environments in the music, film, gaming, and television industries. Furthermore, the university aimed to provide each incoming student with a 'Launch Box' containing all the necessary hardware and software for their specific degree program.
About The Customer
Full Sail University is a renowned institution that has been preparing students for successful multimedia and entertainment careers for nearly 40 years. The university's unique curriculum combines creative, project-based work and real-world digital media experience with the technology students will work with in their professional careers. The Full Sail campus in Winter Park, Florida features over 110 labs, recording studios and sound stages, over 60 classrooms, and boasts a world-class entertainment venue, Full Sail Live. The university's focus is on emerging technology and entertainment, with all classes and programs designed to set students on the best path to achieve their professional goals and dreams. Each month, students begin degree programs at Full Sail, with the university's structure allowing students to earn their undergraduate degree in 2.5 years and their graduate degree in 12 months.
The Solution
To address these challenges, Full Sail University implemented the Avid Media Campus program. This program ensured that the university maintained the most up-to-date technology for audio and video editing, music notation, shared storage, services, and the Avid Learning Partner curriculum. The university began replacing older control systems in its recording suites with Avid S6, upgrading its ISIS shared storage to Avid NEXIS, and replacing an older console in the University's main venue with an Avid VENUE | S6L. Full Sail University also used Avid NEXIS shared storage to support the University's Media Composer labs as part of a video production and editing workflow process. Additionally, Avid provided the coursework and instruction necessary for students to receive Avid Certification. As part of the Avid Media Campus program, Full Sail University provided students with a three-year subscription to the Avid software in their Launch Box, ensuring each student had the latest version of software throughout their time at Full Sail.
Operational Impact
  • The implementation of the Avid Media Campus program has significantly enhanced the learning experience at Full Sail University. The university's labs and studios now mirror the production and recording environments in the music, film, gaming, and television industries, providing students with a realistic and practical learning environment. The 'Launch Box' initiative ensures that each student has the necessary tools and software to excel in their specific degree program. Furthermore, the Avid Certification provided by the university gives students an edge in the competitive multimedia and entertainment industry. The comprehensive hardware and software support included in the Avid Media Campus program ensures that students can work on equipment and gear at all hours of the day, with the assurance that it is working properly. This has resulted in an enhanced software experience for students and a more efficient teaching environment for faculty.
