Yeah, I guess I was wondering more about things like Videography, Audio Production — topics that need to have students in contact with actual equipment. Not like the school can say, “Hey, uh, since COVID, you’ll need your own $15,000 in-home A/V Studio to complete your coursework. Here’s an equipment list and contact information for our preferred suppliers.”
Biology, chemistry, physics labs...
The Games and Animation faculty really don’t need classroom time (students usually have better laptops than classroom lab computers anyways, and our render farm is remote-access anyways).
Audio Production is done mostly with DAWs (I teach ProTools) on student laptops now. Video Production mostly uses Media Composer or one of the Adobe Products like Premiere Pro.
Only audio studio classes need the actual recording studios. And those studios are available for student booking.
Same with video camera gear and green-screen rooms. The students can book out cameras and other recording gear for their student film productions. Video productions outside still take place.
