Barnard College (New York, NY)
First Year English: Reinventing Literary History
Project Summary: Developed to accompany Barnard College's First Year English program, this site
curated a variety of resources for the English Department’s standardized First Year English curricula.
Begun in 2001, completed in 2003, and periodically updated through 2006, the site featured art galleries,
primary and secondary sources, and links to carefully selected external web sites. Resources on
plagiarism, manuscript style, and museum tours were added as the site grew. In late 2011, an effort was
made to move some of the content to Barnard’s Drupal-based enterprise-level CMS.

Course: Developmental Writing—Prof. Lindsey Freer
7. 7
Project Summary: As part of a developmental writing course with a standardized curriculum based on folk
tales and fables, students wrote their own personal family stories and myths. These were edited, read
aloud to the class, then re-edited, with four chosen to serve as source material for small group video
projects. The chosen stories were then scripted, storyboarded, and filmed. The results were burned to DVD
for students to share with their families.

Conference Presentation: “Re-Curating the Snapshot: Student-Created Videos for Deeper Analysis”
Project Summary: At this presentation, developed with a colleague, we described the development of a
large-scale video project undertaken annually with the first-year class. We also explained how the project
embodied specific pedagogical principles and shared some examples of student work.
The video project itself, Snapshot NYC, involves the entire Macaulay first-year class each year. On October
11, each student takes a photograph of something or someone in NYC, and submits it to a central web site.
Student curators then sift through and organize the photography for a creative exhibition, which is hung in
the Macaulay Honors College building each December. On the day of the exhibition, the first-year class
returns and uses phones, cameras, and other technologies to make creative responses to the exhibition,
“re-curating” their colleagues’ photos with a new and deeper perspective. While the students originally
made videos, they can now choose from a variety of technologies and “games” for their re-curation effort.

Honors Seminar: Honors Thesis Colloquium—Prof. Lee Quinby (2009-2013), Prof. Steven Isenberg
(2013)
Project Summary: As the technologist assigned to the interdisciplinary Honors Thesis Colloquium in 2009-
10, 2011-12, 2012-13, and the Fall 2013 semester, I oversaw the iterative growth of the use of technology
to support year-long senior thesis research in a wide variety of humanities and social sciences disciplines.
While in 2009-10, most students used their thesis web sites as a repository for drafts and as a way to
collect early feedback, by 2011-12, most used it as a means of creatively presenting multimedia that
extended the reach of their written projects, including their presentation materials from the National
Conference on Undergraduate Research and local intra-CUNY conferences. We also began to add
newsfeeds on their research topics, so that their sites became spaces to retrieve timely information. In
2012-13, students began to create original digital research that expanded the scholarly impact of their work,
including data visualizations and interactive timelines. Eventually, I taught the Spring 2014 semester of this
course as a fully “digital” senior thesis seminar—explained further on in this packet.
As a technologist, the workshops I gave to students in this course included regular sessions on the
integration of quantitative data into research writing, creating effective presentation materials, information
architecture and WordPress skills, and techniques for effective online research.

Instructional Technology Fellowship Alumni Data Project
Instructional Technology Fellowship Career Resources
Project Summary: In 2011 I used physical and digital archives, with additional online research, to collate
and present the first ever alumni data for the Macaulay Honors College’s Instructional Technology
Fellowship. In 2011, this data was used to contact alumni and ask them to contribute sample employment
materials for current doctoral student fellows. The resulting private web site now hosts sample CVs and
resumes, cover letters for both traditional academic and alt-ac positions, job search narratives, and
recordings of the group Skype calls I organized between current fellows and alumni. In 2013, I updated the
data, and a networking listserv was created for all fellowship alumni. The career resources site is available
to current fellows and fellowship alumni.

Course: Identity in America: History and Literature, 1865-2000—Prof. Lindsey Freer
12. 12
Project Summary: This interdisciplinary survey course for non-majors was conducted as a literature
course while meeting State University of New York general education requirements in history. In addition to
developing a WordPress site for each course, a companion site was created in ANGEL, SUNY’s system-
wide LMS. Student discussion was hosted both through structured blogging on WordPress and in ANGEL’s
discussion forums. Students also created a number of digital projects under my direction, including
PowerPoint, Prezi, and Flash video projects on authors and historical trends. In Fall 2013, students created
interactive digital murals, each one on a different moment in the history of American education or politics. In
addition, students regularly used VoiceThread to create collaborative multimedia conversations in lieu of
traditional written midterms or final exams.

Macaulay Night at the Museum & Media Arts Workshops
Project Summary: Collaborated with other Instructional Technology Fellows on “Night At the Museum,”
Macaulay’s new opening common event for the first-year class. All first year students were trained in the
principles of Smarthistory art conversations (http://smarthistory.khanacademy.org/), as well as how to use
audio recorders. They then had private after-hours access to the Brooklyn Museum, where in small groups,
they collaborated on creative audio responses to works of art in the main collection.
Later that semester, the students got back together with their groups for a Media Arts workshop, where
they learned how to use GarageBand and iMovie to create Smarthistory-style videos featuring their
recorded commentary.

Honors Seminar: Honors Thesis Colloquium—Prof. Lindsey Freer (2014)
Project Summary: This iteration of the Honors Thesis Colloquium was developed based on my previous
experience as the technologist for the course (see above). In this semester, students used their written
senior thesis projects as the basis for a new series of investigations into their topic, aided by digital
resources. They were trained in and completed one-day projects in a suite of digital humanities tools and
topics, before being turned loose to create personal digital thesis projects which not only extended the
claims of their written work, but in some cases tested additional ancillary theories.
The three students who completed this course scripted, directed, shot and edited an original short film,
designed and coded interactive maps, and shot and and edited original photography. Their digital theses
were awarded Macaulay’s Springboard Award for capstone project excellence.
