St. Lawrence University, Canton, NY
For faculty, technologists, and librarians from St. Lawrence University and other participating colleges who are interested in effective writing for multimedia, video-based narratives. (15 program units. Liaisons' deadline: Friday, May 9, 2008)
Participants are asked to bring an idea for a project, along with some materials for its development, such as audio tapes, photographs, VHS tapes, or digital files. NITLE will provide CDs or DVDs to house the final project.
Current technology makes it easy for people to create and share digital images, audio, and video, pushing the storyteller’s art in new directions. Multimedia narrative combines storytelling and modern media to communicate effectively with an audience. In the classroom, faculty can use multimedia narrative both as a tool for communicating with students and as a tool for teaching students how to communicate effectively themselves. In this workshop, faculty, librarians, and technologists will learn how to make an argument or tell a story through digital media by scanning and manipulating still images, editing digital video (iMovie), and publishing their creations to DVD and to social video sites such as YouTube. Throughout this learning process, participants will focus on effective writing for multimedia, video-based narratives. Participants will leave this workshop with their own version of a multimedia narrative, the ability to use this technique for more engaging teaching, and ideas to promote deeper learning in their students through alternate methods of communication.
This workshop is available through NITLE's Workshops-to-Go program, which delivers professional development opportunities for faculty and academic support staff directly to participating campuses. Workshops-to-Go focus on the effective integration of technology into teaching and learning. Contact your campus liaison to explore options for bringing a Workshop-to-Go to your campus. Liaisons may order Workshops-to-Go by contacting Rebecca Davis.
Interested faculty and staff from participating colleges: To participate in this workshop, please contact your campus liaison. Your campus liaison will select your campus's nominees and send their names to NITLE. Nominees will receive further information from NITLE about the registration process.
