Visual Communications Project

In teams of five students produce a multimedia project that communicates information about an organization, group, social issue, etc. Student teams select one project from a group of projects to develop a multimedia project using their skills developed from the previous modules. These courses are a multidisciplinary approach that encourages learners to leverage the technology they use in their daily life to solve real-world problems.

The students are allowed to use Wix to create the websites so they don’t get caught up on the technology hurdles. However, the students need to focus on design and we do discuss best practices for making websites with them.

• Bike LNK
  This student team focused on Bike LNK, a recent bike share addition to Lincoln. The students focused their queries more on why students might want to use it. The piece focuses on what the service is, where an interested party can rent a bike, what the cost is, why users actually use it, and interviews with those running the service. The students produced all video and photographs used in the project.
