DESCRIPTION: Hamilton College, Colgate University, and St. Lawrence University, supported by a NITLE Instructional Innovation Fund grant, have collaborated to develop interdisciplinary assignment models that promote media scholarship by students across the curriculum. This SIG consists of a series of case study presentations of student-authored digital media scholarship that was guided by faculty and supported by instructional technologists and librarians. Each student presentation will be followed by a 20-30 minute panel discussion of the work in the broader context of what was necessary to reach that outcome from all involved (student, professor, technologist, librarian). We will focus on media literacy, learning models, evaluation criteria, and the resources necessary for success.
Participants will engage in discussions following each presentation. We also ask participants to offer ideas, examples, and approaches to development of multimodal assignments at their institutions.
