Project Outcomes

Development of a collaborative, train-the-trainer model to empower students and faculty with digital literacy skills as life-long media learners and to share media skills with one another, our community partners, and the public.

In addition to project outcomes presentations, the website provides several modules for "how to" edit audio, photos, create a portfolio, and use other multimedia tools for lesson preparation.

Project Outcome Report

E-portfolio training to veterans returning as students that integrates writing, video editing and information literacy. The project will strengthen student academic engagement and result in individualized electronic presentations fort job interviews or college transfer.

Our student veterans are quite similar in learning styles to our other students in that it is hard to get students to complete assignments that are not for a specific class. However, student veterans are very attentive and appreciative of programs designed for them, and the laptops obtained for this grant have been invaluable.

Project Outcome Report

Music education majors learn use of mobile devices to encourage creativity and expression of learners regardless of age or ability (local schools, childcare programs, retirement and rehabilitation centers, and multiple student associations on campus). This supports standards for teacher preparation set forth by ISTE and NCATE.

The website provides multiple examples of student use of iPads in service of K-12 education and community based spaces.

Project Outcome Report

Active learning pilot with a media:scape mini to create a video or Pinterest board based on one of the books connected to a campus-wide project. Selected videos and boards will be showcased on the "Speak, Memory" LibGuide which is used by faculty across campus to stimulate ideas for infusing the theme into classes and activities.

The project website describes functions and uses of the collaborative space and survey research is available as part of the project outcomes.
