Jessica Spring, visiting instructor of art and design and Elliott Press manager at PLU, discovered a quote by Elizabeth Cady Stanton that she felt summed up the election cycle nicely: “Come, come my conservative friend, wipe the dew off your spectacles and see the world is

Engaging Students During Remote Learning Posted by: Marcom Web Team / March 16, 2020 March 16, 2020 By Dana Shreaves, Instructional Designer Engaging students who are learning at a distance can be challenging for faculty, especially when faculty are accustomed to judging engagement face-to-face. During the PLUTO Institute for Online and Blended Learning, we recommend a number of strategies to engage students through the careful design of instruction and communications. In exceptional

best it provides a false sense of security. One way to discourage cheating is to design assessments that are unique and authentic, requiring higher order thinking skills like synthesis, analysis, or the creation of original content. For written work, Turnitin’s Originality Check (via Sakai Assignments) is a popular tool to discourage plagiarism and cheating. An option for multiple choice assessments is to use “question pools” where assessment questions are drawn randomly from a large pool of

the scenes. In the campus studio, we flipped over a whiteboard and brought in lights to set the scene. One thing we underestimated was the time it would take to actually cut out the felt objects and design each part of the story, but once they were completed, the actual shooting was not difficult. Campus photographer John Froschauer even paid us a visit to document the production! We laid down each scene, one by one, and took about 60 images for every segment using a remote attached to the camera

When I started working on my pre-requisites, I started to appreciate everything about our body. My passion and interest even grew bigger with the emergence of the pandemic. I’ve never valued the work our health workers do more than ever! Now, I’m so excited to learn and dive deeper into learning about the different defenses our body has and how medical breakthroughs evolve as they use to

them in a different, new direction: sound design. Hanne was in charge of designing the foley work and soundtrack for the production. The most interesting part of the process for them was researching and experimenting with different foley sounds. In typical filmmaking, foley is the reproduction of everyday sounds that are layered on top of the visuals, as not every sound can be recorded straight from the source. Many hours of work went into determining the methods and tools to perfectly reproduce

. What sealed the deal were the people during her campus tour. “Everyone I met that day was super welcoming.” PLU may have made a mark on her, but she has also made a lasting mark on it. Reed is a double major in communications and psychology with a minor in gender and sexuality studies. She also is a member of MediaLab, an award-winning student-run media organization that offers public relations, graphic design, writing, event planning and more. And she DJs at Lute Air Student Radio (LASR). We

faculty working together,” Reisberg said. The design started with using flexible furniture for breaking into multiple small groups and other configurations. And those desk tops of the past are no longer part of the set-up. Instead laptops are used and the wireless network for the space meets the needs of 25 simultaneous uses. The whiteboards have been replaced by a smart board for computer-assisted board work. The video conferencing available, that saved the J-Term class, has saved the grades of more
