Project Description

What: Students are to be paired with instructors to develop a sharable learning object, such as a video, simulation, or Web site that can be shared across the College and across courses. The instructors will supply students with the content and the students will come up with their own project about the content. To be clear, the project medium is completely up to the student.

Why: There are many areas of education to branch into as a Digital Media Arts student, including content development, product design, and promotional materials. This project is great real-world experience for anyone interested in widening their portfolio focus.

When: Each pairing will have one semester to work on the project and will present the content at Digital Day 2011.

How: This project is to be sponsored by the new Online Learning Community at Canisius College, coming Fall 2010.

If interested, please contact Leah MacVie, Instructional Designer.

Dear Students,

Creating and organizing your portfolio is a task that takes significant amount of time, experience and effort. Portfolio is your “foot-in-a-door” element of the interview process and you should give it special attention.

On Wednesday, October 7th at 3pm in Lyons 312, Prof. Ben Dunkle will present a Portfolio Workshop that you cannot afford to miss!

The workshop is mandatory for all Capstone students!

Regards,
P.J. Moskal
