Designing Digital Media Assignments with the USF Library’s Digital Learning Studio
Introduction • About Me • Maryellen Allen, Assistant Director for Instructional Services, USF Library • Background: Instructional Technology, Instructional Systems Design and Information Sciences • About You • Name, department • What are you MOST interested in learning about today?
Workshop Objectives • After participating in this workshop, you will learn: • The library’s mission to support media literacy • Three types of digital media that can transform a traditional paper-based assignment • How to work with the USF Library Digital Studio to transform a traditional assignment into a digital media assignment • The resources and services that the USF Library's Digital Learning Studio can offer you and your students
Media Literacy Defined as the ability to access, analyze, evaluate and create information in a variety of formats, including print and non-print messages.
Why It’s Important • Media Literacy is one of the most important skill sets of the 21st century • http://youtu.be/aHAApvHZ6XE • Can provide students with the knowledge and skills that can make them more successful • Related to information literacy-where the library can have a meaningful, lasting impact on student success
Transforming Paper-Based Assignments into Digital Media Assignments
Transforming Paper-Based Assignments • Questions to ask • Will the new multimedia assignment require the student to incur any costs? • Will the students experience a steep learning curve? • How much time should you allow for the students to complete the assignment? • Multimedia assignments can take a long time and may be best suited for final projects • Consider a strategy of deliverables • Groups work best • How will you evaluate the new assignment?
Transforming Paper-Based Assignments • Steps to consider • Review the current assignment • Identify the essential knowledge/skills the existing assignment is designed to instill in the learner • Match each identified skill or artifact with a compatible media • Let’s Try It!
Transformative Digital Media Advantages: Increases engagement Appeals to different learning styles More student-centered Supports technology skill acquisition • Images: Allow for the expression of more abstract ideas and relationships • Audio: Provides added dimension and brings a level of relatability and authenticity to a project • Video: Brings together images and audio
Working with the DLS to Transform Your Assignment Allow time to plan (usually the semester before you plan to implement) Don’t worry about trying to be a technology expert Emphasize the critical thinking skills for the assignment, not the technology tools
