CampusTours Completes Virtual Tour for Providence College [1/10/04] CampusTours Productions (http://www.CampusToursProductions.com), a division of CampusTours Inc. is proud to announce the debut of an admissions-oriented virtual tour for Providence College. The Providence College virtual tour is presented in a linear movie-like format, providing a comprehensive overview of the institution to prospective students and their parents. Utilizing photographs, panoramic images, animation, music and narration, the Providence College virtual tour makes a compelling case to students considering this picturesque Rhode Island institution. "Virtual tours all too often present an exhaustive overview of campus facilities, with little or no attention paid to the questions that prospective students, parents and visitors ask during actual visits," says CampusTours vice president of production services John Piermatteo. Piermatteo adds that "students are less concerned with seeing sixty photos of the campus quad than they are with academic, social, financial and quality of life considerations. Today students accessing university Web sites are expecting a professional two to five minute presentation that gives them salient information about the institution. At CampusTours, we strive to build tours that connect with particular university audiences and help the college reach 'desired outcomes' with each constituency." CampusTours Productions approaches college projects from the perspective that each institution is unique and that their electronic communications should help to reinforce those qualities that distinguish a school from its peers. The approach seems to be working; according to Providence College's Patricia Vieira, "[CampusTours did] a fabulous job, particularly considering a very tight time frame with multiple holidays sprinkled in and our last-minute changes of direction."
