3 - DISCAS Demystified w/ Chuck Espinoza (1 of 2)

As we continue deeper into the 21st Century, our involvement with AV technology grows, and customers expect more. While there are some people who are self taught experts of all things AV, there aren't many avenues as a provider/technician for keeping up on changes, innovations and shifts in audiovisual tech. In comes AVIXA, a website that features hundreds of tutorials on many aspects of the AV field, aimed specifically at the people who live and breath the AV space every day. Joining us is Chuck Espinoza, an educator at AVIXA, to discuss teaching content in the AV field, the ubiquity of AR and VR, and how those can be effectively used in a Pro AV classroom experience.
