This CEI session will recap the #AUCdiaries Project that began in 2016 and received an AMICAL small grant. This project was innovative in its approach to document the lives of current students, thus giving oral histories currency in the present; the project was collaborative by incorporating several campus entities including faculty in the AUC’s Core along with the Dept. of Journalism and Mass Communication; and the sustainability of the project was captured by the inclusion of the digital collections unit by archiving the student audio diaries.
Topics addressed: - Guiding students through the assignment - Rubrics and assessment - Showcase #AUCdiaries (play the audio and/or make available via earphones) - Project management/organization of digital collection - Project management/organization of interdisciplinary project
