Whether working with a church, business, educational institution, or somewhere in between, the ability to understand the basics of livestream hardware, software, sound, lighting, graphic design, and production is a tremendous need in current society. Businesses are in need of employees who not only understand the various aspects of livestream set-up but can utilize it effectively in a social media-driven world. 

Lenoir Community College recognizes this unique need and the Workforce Development & Continuing Education department will be offering an 8-week Summer Livestream Technology Class starting Tuesday, June 8th from 6-9 p.m. This course will be taught by Dr. Travis Towne who serves as the Chief Livestream Engineer for Magic Mile Media/Neuse News and is the technical facilitator for Tanglewood Church of God.

The Livestream Technology course will offer hands-on engagement with a variety of hardware and software technologies along with a focus on individualized livestream system design applications training resources, and troubleshooting strategies. The class is designed to provide an overview of livestream technologies and is geared towards beginners in this field, however, intermediate and advanced users of livestream technology would benefit from the additional resources provided during the course and the experience of Dr. Towne in helping different organizations design and implement a livestream system and train personnel to use this equipment effectively.
