¶¹ÄÌÊÓÆµ Multimedia Students Create Successful Tutorial for Healthcare Client
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 .
