TIME: 9:00 - 3:00 (Coffee and Registration start at 8:00)

PRICE: NERCOMP Members: $96, Non-Members: $221 LOCATION: The College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, MA.

DESCRIPTION: In the past year, 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. These efforts are an attempt to capitalize on student interest in digital media with the goal of deepening their engagement with course content. Further, we seek to provide faculty with the necessary frameworks with which to evaluate multimodal student projects. This SIG is our attempt to broaden these discussions and showcase examples of media scholarship from multiple schools in the Northeast.

Participants will engage in discussions that follow a series of presentations of student-authored digital media scholarship that was guided by faculty and supported by instructional technologists and librarians. Discussion will focus on media literacy, learning models, evaluation criteria, and the resources necessary for success.
