Session 3a: You Can Lead a Writing Professor to a Media Lab, But You Can't Make Him Record a Podcast [ACTAL Virtual 2025]

Session 3a: You Can Lead a Writing Professor to a Media Lab, But You Can't Make Him Record a Podcast [ACTAL Virtual 2025]

How does a librarian convince an experienced writing teacher to add a multimedia assignment to their class? Sometimes it takes years of patience and acceptance that it will only happen when the time is right. In this session, a Senior Lecturer and a Multimedia Librarian will discuss how they started putting together assignments. What works, what doesn’t, and how they got from a weary sigh to genuine excitement about rhetorical video essays.
