Welcome to the SUNY New Paltz DASH Lab Academy!

On this site you’ll find some basic video instruction for various software we use in research, instruction and creative projects. The menu above will take you to short, targeted video tutorials to help you get started or provide a few basic reminders when you get stuck.

Currently we have some basic tutorials available for Adobe Audition (audio editing), Adobe photoshop (photo and graphic editing), Adobe Premiere (video editing), and SketchUp (a 3D computer modeling application). In the coming months, we will be adding to these categories, while also expanding our selection to include Audacity (free audio editing software), ESRI StoryMaps, Digital mapping software, and more.

Many of these programs are complex and various tasks can be accomplished in numerous ways. For more advanced and in-depth instruction, we encourage you to use our university subscription to LinkedIn Learning (go to my.newpaltz.edu to sign on) or attend one of our numerous DASH Lab training sessions.
