Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) : Multimedia Mentorship

Abstract

The Department of Communication and Journalism and potential careers require multimedia proficiency. In order to ensure student success early in their academic career, the department has been piloting a peer assisted learning program (PAL) tailored to Multimedia Communication (CJ 184). This program is run by two former CJ 184 students, Ryan Bramwell and Monica Gross. In collaboration with Professor Ellen Mahaffy, our goal is to develop and conduct a survey that solicits faculty and students' strengths, weaknesses and needs related to technology instruction.
