FLORENCE, S.C. – Francis Marion University will host a weeklong multimedia-training event from Jan. 28 to Feb. 2, focusing on the eZediaMX software package.

“Wired” magazine recently referred to eZedia, which runs on both Macs and Windows, as one of the most innovative products seen at MacWorld Expo in San Francisco.

eZedia.com is a research partner of FMU’s PT3 federal grant. According to Mike Madden, an FMU professor and member of the university’s PT3 team, “eZedia’s ability to impress derives from the fact that anyone from young children to corporations under tight time constraints can now create impressive multimedia presentations in a fraction of the time and without a difficult learning curve.”

All formal workshops are booked to capacity, but the public is invited to attend an open house from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 2, in Room 208A of the Cauthen Educational Media Center on the FMU campus.

For more information, contact Jane Madden at 843-661-1230 or hmadden@fmarion.edu. Those unable to attend the Feb. 2 session can have their names placed on a notification list for future events by contacting Madden.
