The Multimedia Center (MC) held a 2-day training on videography from 24 to 25 June 2019 at the UPOU AudioVisual Room, UPOU headquarters, Los Banos, Laguna. The Training on Videography is one of the capability training programs of the Multimedia Center for the year 2019. The said training is aimed at teaching the basics of videography for the production of multimedia learning objects.
