Case Study: Pitches and Marketing

Programs: Lubin School of Business and Career Services (led by Jim Davis, Assistant Director, Lubin Programs and Services)

Goal: Assist Senior business majors in creating a brief “elevator pitch” video they can use when applying for jobs. Deliver edited video file to students for publication on career platforms such as LinkedIn.

Outcome: After prototyping a collaboration and production model with two students, we plan to offer seniors the opportunity to sign up for this project in Fall ’23. All shooting will take place on a single day, with students delivering a polished performance in 1-2 takes. With preparation, students will be able to use a teleprompter.

Case Study: An Online Certificate

Programs: Continuing Education collaborating with faculty from the Elizabeth Haub School of Law.

Goal: Create a video-centric curriculum for paralegals on the Classes platform. Work with a team of ~8 law faculty to create a 15-week experience. The curriculum will be designed so students work through videos, quizzes, and short essay prompts, and have a chance to meet with faculty during virtual office hours.

Outcome: The Paralegal Certificate Program will launch in Fall ’23. Comprised of 190 short videos (10-15 minutes each) across 12 modules, the program will require students to spend 4-6 hours/week on the curriculum (videos will account for about half of that time).

Case Study: Senior Showcases

Similar to Capstone Presentations, Senior Showcases are a great reason for faculty to take advantage of OLC services and support.

Programs: BA in Theater Arts; BFA in Acting for Stage.

Goal: Capture student performances (monologues and scenes) over several class sessions hosted in the OLC. Students will use recordings to promote their work in the acting industry. 4K footage will be handed off to faculty for editing and distribution.

Outcome: To date, we’ve worked with two cohorts of 10-12 students. Each student performed 3-4 takes for each monologue and scene, with a faculty member directing their performance while OLC staff managed the recording.
