Podcasting and Video Stories Virtual Intensive
January 13-14, 1:00-4:30
No matter the trendiest social platform, the ability to craft and communicate a cohesive digital narrative – about yourself, a company, a passion project – is a skill that employers increasingly seek when hiring recent college graduates. Emerging technologies, coupled with digital media creation and management skills, are leading to new professions and driving social justice movements and public awareness. Through audio and video production and dissemination, people are making a living by telling their own story and the stories of others.
Whether you’re already on campus or still away, in just two afternoons you will develop the skills and critical perspectives to create audio and visual narratives, building your Digital Communication competencies. On both days, our in-person cohort are invited to meet at noon for a free lunch in Uncommon Grounds. Then at 1:00 all participants will convene for instruction followed by supported project worktime. Each day will end with a showcase of works-in progress using that day’s medium.
The Podcasting and Digital Stories Intensive is on January 13 and 14, and students may choose to enroll in either our in-person or online group. On Thursday we will consider digital narratives and produce a podcast using Audacity, and on Friday we will continue to hone our storytelling skills and learn videomaking with WeVideo. Each day our workshop will run from 1:00 to 4:30, with an additional optional lunch hour for students on campus.
