Use of Digital Commons Enriches Students' Learning Experience

Laura Guertin, an associate professor at Brandywine, has been using the resources at the Digital Commons to enrich her students' learning experiences.

The students were more engaged in the topics and used higher level processing skills when doing the multimedia assignments which included tasks like interviewing, scripting, video taping, and video editing.

Students had to plan their projects, determine ahead of time what video they would need, who they wanted to interview, decide which sound clips to use, and weave the sound clips with the video and narration to tell their stories.

A positive outcome (one of many) was that the multi-sensory assignments were more engaging and kept the students' attention.
