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 staff focused on student learning
• Recruit and heavily train competent, reliable, student staff
• Consult with media professionals at other institutions
Media projects can provide transformative learning experiences. Always focus on teaching and learning!
Core Challenges
• Communicating and marketing services
• 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
