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.

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).

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.

Faculty: HEASA faculty (Shawn O’Riley, Program Chair)

Course: HEASA Capstone

Goal: Record in-person and online (Zoom) student presentations, including Q&A. Make videos of rehearsal presentations available to students. Archive final videos online (on Pace Library’s institutional repository) to be used as examples for future cohorts.

Outcome: We’ve hosted four Capstone sessions to date, and recorded 25+ final presentations.

Background:

Faculty for the Higher Education Administration and Student Affairs (HEASA) program wanted high-quality recordings of the program’s culminating experience: a 15-minute “Capstone” presentation on original research.

Faculty: Professor Dan Strahs (Biology, Dyson College)

Course: Advanced Biochemistry

Goal: Create a set of short videos (~20 minutes each) to extend instruction of advanced biochemistry examples beyond the classroom. Publish videos to an existing course as supplementary content.

Outcome: To date, we’ve produced 8 lectures (3+ hours total).

Background:

In the fall of  2022, Professor Dan Strahs came to the OLC with the goal of capturing lecture content he doesn’t have time to deliver in person. Making additional short lectures available on Classes would allow him to walk students through highly relevant examples.
