ELI Webinar: Student-Generated Content for Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and YouTube: Leveraging Institutional and Third-Party Efficiencies for New Media Literacy
When: Monday, April 6th, 1:00pm–2:30pm
Where: Digital Union, Rm 370, Science and Engineering Library
Registration is required. (Register)
With the economic downturn and tightening budgets, stakes in the build versus buy decision for educational technology have never seemed as high. As instructors start to engage more deeply in integrating new forms of social media production into their course assignments and assessments, are there good models of support that leverage tactical rather than enterprise hardware and third-party rather than homegrown or locally supported software?
We'll discuss a support model developed for a comparative political media course where students produced blogs, podcasts, and videos for YouTube. We'll also discuss lessons learned, the successes and challenges of providing support, and opportunities for new partnerships as we look to the future of new media literacy where students and instructors increasingly use a broad range of media in their curricular lives and beyond.
