The process will begin with the submission of the online video project request form. The form will help us to create the agenda for out first meeting and to establish you vision for the project. We do require at least two meeting to establish project needs and complete necessary fact finding with the designated point person.

Following our meetings, we will schedule filming location, any voice overs and/or interviews as well as capture all video footage.

• Conduct any narration and/or voiceover 

• Film B-roll 

• Acquire any requested project visuals, these are shots that you have specifically requested to include within the overall video

In post-production, the raw footage captured will be edited to create your vision. The project point person will receive three cuts or revisions: a rough cut, a fine cut, and a final cut for review. The point person then provides our team with feedback within the agreed upon project timeline.

• Make edits

Once the video is final, we will prepare it in your desired format and supply hard copies. We will store your video for a minimum of two years on our servers.

CCIU can assist you with technology strategic planning and facilitate planning committees in your school or district. We have a broad range of expertise and are able to consult on technology strategy, purchases, and projects.

CCIU can assist LEA's with identifying the degree to which the current Student Information System (SIS) meets the needs of the district or school. As part of this service, CCIU will conduct focus groups with up to 15 different user groups to better understand end-user concerns and their general thoughts on the SIS. In addition, CCIU will use a research quality questionnaire to gain feedback on the SIS and provide statistical feedback on the results. 

If desired, CCIU can provide a comparative analysis of Student Information Systems to determine if another product would better meet the needs of the LEA. 

Are district or school stakeholders asking how your technology compares to other LEAs? Want to make sure that your LEA is implementing best practices in technology? Is the usage of technology and related resources meeting the needs of your schools? Let us help you answer these questions with a technology audit. 

CCIU uses research, stakeholder interviews, document review and measurable data to evaluate the technology in a given LEA.
