Media projects can provide transformative learning experiences. Always focus on teaching and learning! Keys to Developing a Quality Media Outreach Program • Strive to cultivate relationships with new faculty and grow with past • Make friends and get out there!: Collaborate with librarians and campus partners • Recruit knowledgeable, passionate, professional media staff focused on student learning • Recruit and heavily train competent, reliable, student staff • Consult with media professionals at other institutions
Core Challenges • Communicating and marketing services to a large campus • Encouraging “non-early adopter” faculty to evolve pedagogy for curricula media integration • Developing and maintaining delicate campus partnerships, while aligning mutual interests and respecting differences in mission, constituencies, and cultures • Limited budget (but a little can go a long way if invested well!) • Developing a concise long-term program strategy and assessing - communicating impact
