Under the MoU, Programmer Force will provide the University with access to its fully equipped recording studio. The facilities include recording equipment and cameraman support, ensuring high-quality video production for academic courses. University faculty and staff will be allowed on-site during recording sessions to facilitate the creation of course content.

The University will receive raw recorded video files and will manage all post-production activities, including editing, packaging, and publishing. Proper acknowledgment of Programmer Force’s support in the course materials will also be ensured.
