Multimedia for the Web: ePortfolio
For my preparing instructional media course, I plan to take two projects I created and add them to my ePortfolio. All USF School of Information Master’s in Library and Information Science students must create an ePortfolio as the culmination assessment of their work prior to graduation. First, I plan to include my Audio Project – my “Arts In Your Library” podcast, Episode 1 – because it demonstrates my knowledge and skills in adapting appropriate information technology for information services (Goal II.c.: Systems and Services). Creating a podcast tapped into my creative side because I had free reign to tailor my podcast to anything involving the library that I wanted. I believe that the library can be a collaborator with the arts community since there is much overlap between the types of materials available at a library and the vibrant arts scene in Tampa Bay. Using technology in podcast form allowed me to build a bridge between the two.
I also plan to include both parts of my Publishing Project – my One Book One Pinellas Poster and Family Programming Guide – because they show my ability to effectively communicate with library patrons using different formats (Goal I.b.: Leadership and Innovation). The poster was designed using Adobe Spark with the intention of being printed and posted in libraries and community centers throughout the county. The Family Programming Guide was created using a Word template to be disseminated electronically to the community. By producing two different projects around a central theme, I effectively demonstrated that I can design project materials in an easily understandable manner.
