This panel explores the use of participatory digital media production as a vehicle to empower students, both communication and non-communication majors, to amplify voices, actively engage in the storytelling process, and address meaningful issues within their own communities.
Researchers regularly demonstrate the efficacy of narratives to facilitate engagement, self-identity, collaboration, and persuasion. One of the pressing issues in communication and media production courses, particularly for non-communication students, is to develop foundational knowledge and concurrently develop self- and community expression.
Panelists will present on four student-focused participatory digital media initiatives representing different communities, cross-discipline and cross-university collaborations, and the integration of different media technology (visual, podcast/audio, print/web, interactive, virtual reality). Moderator: Aaron Atkins, Weber State University Panelists: Franklyn Charles, Slippery Rock University; Camilo Perez, Regis University; Ashton Marra, West Virginia University
