New technologies are available when working in the Studio, to borrow, and to support faculty research.
Reserve a room with a Vibe Board
The reservable Collaboration Rooms are now outfitted with Vibe Boards. These digital whiteboards are great for brainstorming, teleconferencing, and working together. Connect your laptop with the Vibe Tap or use apps preloaded on the Board. Try using Zoom for video meetings or Vibe Canvas for a shared whiteboard experience. Sign in to your UMKC OneDrive account to save your work. The Vibe Boards were purchased with the generous support of the UMKC Alumni Fund.
Recording Studio renovation
We are proud to present a brand new Recording Studio. Now fitted with audio mixing and live monitoring equipment, the studio is better than ever. With four recording workstations, this new setup brings the producer into the room. We’re excited to see what you can create here!
New! Retro Media Lab tools
The Retro Media Lab, a suite of personal digital archiving kits, is finally here! Do you have a box of VHS tapes gathering dust in your basement? Do you have cassettes of old lectures in your desk drawer? Do you need to transfer an old hard drive? We have the tech you need in the Retro Media Lab!
New! Creative Media Lab kits
Create podcasts on the go with the Podcast-in-a-Bag Kit. Record oral histories out in the field with the Oral History Kit. Take your photography to the next level with one of our Camera Kits. All equipment in this collection is state of the art for the field and ready for you to use. Accessories are available too; check out a tripod, reflectors, and ring lights to take your project to the next level.
