| Initiative Title | Media Makerspace for presentation and ePortolio student support |
|---|
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | 2014 |
|---|
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Students who present research in classrooms, within ePortfolios, and at conferences (Beacon, SOARS, etc.) are often asked to prepare digital material, or poster presentations. The current way in which students do this is prepare material either by cutting and pasting or outsourcing the printing at a cost of $100 or more. This initiative seeks to carve out space within the library to house a "media makerspace" containing a wide format printer and creation software. The initiative would:
- Encourage students to present their scholarly research orally in conferences and other academic venues.
- Reduce the amount of time it takes students to create poster presentations.
- Students will learn new technologies that will help them communicate their ideas.
- The electronic poster can be the start of their ePortfolio that they can use for future scholarship.
- Students will learn visual communication techniques that are becoming common place in scholarship and the professional world.
- Students can be educated as to proper attribution of materials (copyright).
