Can I create a book?
Yes. The more creative and engaging, the better.
A survey?
Yes. It is useful to have at least 7-10 participants and 4-8 good questions. More is
Ok. The sooner you start, the better. You can even create a QR code for your survey and post it around campus or share it digitally.
A website?
Yes. This should be professional, informative, engaging, and contain several links and pages that are user-friendly. Incorporate several images, graphics, videos.
A PowerPoint presentation?
Yes, of at least 20 slides. Make sure it is engaging and substantive. Incorporate music, sounds, images, links, etc.
A poster board?
Yes. Like all projects, this should be engaging, substantive, and dynamic. Incorporate data, images, colors, cut-outs, etc. Avoid superficial work.
A painting or similar artwork?
Yes. This should be original and new, not something created in or used for another course. The more complex, the better.
How long should videos, interviews, musicals, or podcasts be?
There is no magic number. It should be substantive, not too short, and reflect the fact that you spent some time and effort producing it. As a general rule, videos, interviews, etc., should be engaging, informative, and at least 15-20 minutes long. Longer is OK but it's not necessary to go beyond 30 minutes.
How many people should I interview if I am doing interviews?
It is advisable to briefly interview at least 5 individuals. The main point is to produce work that is creative, informative, engaging, and substantive.
How do I make digital work available to the instructor and my peers?
Create a link that works easily and quickly. The link should remain active for at least 4 months. You can use YouTube, Google Sites, Moodle, Wix, etc. Test your link in different browsers to make sure it works before sharing it with others.
Can I change my question or project after I have already come up with a question or project idea?
That is not advised, mainly because time is limited. (The course is only 6 weeks long.)
Is it OK to do a really big or long project?
Accurately gauge what you can and should accomplish in 6 weeks. Avoid biting off more than you can chew. More is not always better. It is not necessary to do a large and complicated project, but avoid superficial projects.
Who should I contact if I need help with digital questions?
YouTube has many short helpful videos containing tips and advice for digital projects. Nazareth's Information Technology office can help you as well.
What kinds of projects and platforms should I avoid?
Instagram & Prezis.
