  1. QEP activities / fall 2006 Establish goals for academic year Initiate MyHumanity project Build working relationships on and off campus Teach first iteration of GES-198

  2. Goals for academic year Establish and refine GES-198 Create a pre-test and post-test assessment of knowledge and skills contained in GES-198 Develop and seek external funding for a project on digital knowledge-production Develop a project on the design of learning environments for the digital era Explore the feasibility / desirability of developing an elective course on critical perspectives of digital media Conduct a formal needs assessment and write a strategic plan for digital technology at NCSA Extend the advisory network

  3. The MyHumanity project Concretizes aspects of the QEP in visible, project-based form Derives from and builds on GES-198 Correlates social (mega), organizational (macro)and individual (micro) aspects of digital media

  4. Relationships! The QEP to me represents a social network that I sought to strengthen I was invited to establish good working relationships with the Kenan Institute and the Center for Design Innovation I met with NCSA ITWG and gained very valuable insight and advisementfrom IT colleagues and all other campus entities I am working with key players on campuson special projects –for example I am currently talking with Dean Wilcox and David Smith about a grassroots digital-creativity event

  5. First iteration of GES-198 The course design was very successful The implementation of the design reflected the designer’s paradox The revisions being planned will take the course to a higher levelof performance and relevance I am convinced that what students need to learn in the field of digital technology includes but significantly differs from set of skills targeted in the ETS instrument. GES-198 should evolve as a humanities-basedcourse that involves the learning of design skills, information skills, media skills, and digital citizenship in a project-based framework

  6. Revisions for winter term Digital Bob replaces Dr. King! DB reduces projects to two: one social-issue project andone digital-art project DB increases focused-instruction DB adds small-group formatfor discussion DB provides opportunity for involvement in real-world productions DB installs sound / video productionbooth for project creation Classroom reconfigured? Hallway gallery?

  7. Assessment Create pre-test / post-test to quickly assess knowledge of design process, information skills, media skills, and digital citizenship Continue to gather qualitative data via interview process Continue to experiment and learn,and involve students!
