¶¹ÄÌÊÓÆµ Multimedia Students Create Successful Tutorial for Healthcare Client

6.9.22

Every spring semester, ¶¹ÄÌÊÓÆµ students in the Multimedia Practicum class work with a client on their end-of-the-year project. The Multimedia program is one of three concentrations offered in the Visual Communications’ two-year Associate in Applied Science degree program.

During the practicum semester, students have a real client and use the skills they have acquired to solve a design problem from scratch. Working directly with clients incorporates high-impact teaching and service-learning methods.

The program provides fundamentals in:

  • Audio editing (Avid Technology Pro Tools)
  • Graphic design
  • Image editing (Adobe Photoshop)
  • Pre-production (outlining, scripting, UX, storyboarding, etc.)
  • Production
  • Video editing (Adobe Premiere)
  • Web coding (HTML/CSS)

The Spring 2022 semester design team consisted of:

  • Layne Eastes
  • David (Drew) Harrison (2022 ¶¹ÄÌÊÓÆµ graduate)
  • Brianna Humphries (2022 ¶¹ÄÌÊÓÆµ graduate)
  • Dale Rogers (¶¹ÄÌÊÓÆµ Assistant Professor)

The client for the Spring 2022 semester students was ¶¹ÄÌÊÓÆµâ€™s Surgical Technology program. The students, led by Associate Professor Dale Rogers, coordinated with Jay Chambers, an assistant professor of Surgical Technology and a certified technologist.

Surgical Technology Professor Jay Chambers requested the design team create an online tutorial that would show Surgical Technology students the step-by-step process of how to prepare personal health documents they would need to submit prior to their clinical.

The end project resulted in a mobile-friendly webpage that ¶¹ÄÌÊÓÆµ Surgical Technology students will be using moving forward: . ¶¹ÄÌÊÓÆµâ€™s Healthcare Professions Division was so impressed with the project that the Nursing program will be using the tutorial as well.

The client for the 2021 spring practicum class was the ¶¹ÄÌÊÓÆµ Community College Foundation. At the request of the Foundation, the class created a webpage that teaches students about the Campus Cupboard (food and personal assistance pantry) and how to order online. The webpage is located at .
