“It’s a really great class. I’ve been learning a lot,” said an undergraduate student at Olivet School of Media and Communication who believes digital video is crucial in media today.
“By learning these skills, such as adding effects and creating a digital story, I can produce videos that help people know more about God and the Gospel,” she added.
