Session 4a: Podcast Assignment Design: A Collaboration Between Media Staff and Academic Librarians [ACTAL Virtual 2025]
This presentation will describe an interdepartmental collaboration between University of Nevada, Las Vegas Libraries’ Multimedia and Design Specialist and two Teaching and Learning Librarians to integrate podcast assignments across the curriculum. We will discuss how the collaboration began, how we identified areas of opportunity, and ways we have worked with faculty to raise awareness and foster partnerships in the classroom.
Presenters have created a suite of resources to support faculty looking to create effective and creative podcasting assignments. These materials include a partnership framework, which outlines three tiers of collaboration between faculty and library staff, a student-facing resource guide showcasing important tools and strategies, and a grading rubric template that instructors can adapt to their assignment. We will also highlight how we shared these resources with faculty by hosting a libraries-sponsored lunch and learn, designed to introduce them to these materials and encourage partnerships for assignment design.
This presentation will benefit creative technology professionals looking to expand academic integration of their multimedia spaces, and offer insight into how to leverage partnerships to create engaging and inclusive student-centered research assignments.
