CampusTours Debuts Value Edition Virtual Tour Package for Smaller Schools & Community Colleges
Auburn, ME [July 11, 2005] CampusTours Productions (CampusToursProductions.com), a division of CampusTours Inc., today announced the debut of the MultiMedia Engine Value Edition, a low cost presentation package designed to meet the needs of smaller institutions and community colleges.
The CampusTours MultiMedia Engine Value Edition brings content-managed multimedia tours within the budget of even the smallest schools and community colleges. Starting at under $10,000, these new virtual tours provide colleges with vibrant, compelling productions comprised of videos, photos, narration, panoramas, text, links and animation. Furthermore, all CampusTours presentations come with the industry’s only content management system that renders entirely in Macromedia Flash™, allowing colleges to update and expand their presentations in the future without any programming.
One of the first schools to adopt the MultiMedia Engine Value Edition is Clark State Community College, in Springfield Ohio. Clark State worked with CampusTours to create a presentation that is informative and compelling, and the college will continue to expand the virtual tour with new content and tour stops as the institution grows.

"As a community college, we didn't have a large budget for our virtual tour project, " says Clark State Community College president Karen Rafinski. "CampusTours worked within our budget to create a tour that fits our needs perfectly. With the MultiMedia Engine presentation management system, we're ensured of having a virtual tour that keeps pace with our ever changing institution. We highly recommend CampusTours as the company to use for the creation of a quality recruitment product!"
According to CampusTours vice president of productions John Piermatteo, "the virtual tour has become an expected part of the college Web presence, and it is often the first thing students gravitate to when browsing college sites. The new Value Edition gives smaller institutions and community colleges the opportunity for the first time to have multimedia presentations that rival custom tours developed by larger colleges and universities."
The CampusTours MultiMedia Engine Value Edition contains many of the features of its more robust sibling, the CampusTours MultiMedia Engine. Features include the ability to update or add any type of visual or audio content, create or delete tour stops, and to republish the tour to the Web or CD-ROM instantly anytime changes or additions are required.
