Mediation Training

Project Description:
Last year ~FAST Tex students developed a DVD with three chapters of videos on mediation training. This year’s project added two more chapters to make a total of five on the DVD. The videos have captions so that students can read along when the actor's speaks softly. The videos are also placed on Blackboard so that students can view, reflect, and work with the videos outside of class.
