DIY (or do-it-yourself) media means that you are creating video, podcasts or screencasts for a class project, presentation or for some work you are doing on campus.

The DIY media website offers toolkit guidance on getting started with a project, borrowing equipment and preparing a script for creating DIY media projects for educational purposes. You'll also find some inspiring UBC examples to get you thinking.

Book the DIY Media Room in the Chapman Learning Commons to work on your project or rent out some of the equipment available at the Chapman Learning Commons
