Collaborator
Educators dedicate time to collaborate with both colleagues and students to improve practice, discover and share resources and ideas, and solve problems.
In this video, there is a collaborative effort with Calhoun employees to ensure cybersecurity requirements are met. This video was created using Adobe Character and Premiere Pro.
Coding Tools or Tutorials for Beginners
For this assignment, I found videos and websites that could help those looking to enter the world of coding. I used the program called Wakelet to gather the content in one area. By using this program, I am able to work with others to create a vision board and could help with overall communication within small to large groups.

Productivity Tools - Doodle is an excellent way to create polls, sign-up sheets, schedules, and bookings. For my Multimedia class, I have a project where students need to check out a camera. However, there are only 3 cameras available, so it becomes first come, first served. Having group polls could help some learners express themselves.
I have used SignUpGenius to schedule students' 30-second commercial production. It was a great success, and I would use this option again in the future.
Collaborator Resources:
- Miro: A digital whiteboarding platform that is optimized for visual thinkers. It is perfect for student teams creating collaborative mood boards, mapping out user journeys for digital campaigns, or organizing a video storyboard with virtual sticky notes.
- Figma: While primarily known as a UI/UX design tool, Figma's collaborative space (FigJam) is incredible for media students. Multiple people can design layout concepts, build asset templates, and brainstorm social graphics in real-time on the same canvas.
- Trello: These platforms use Kanban boards (visual boards with cards that move through stages like "Pre-Production," "In Progress," and "Approved"). They are highly effective for tracking who is handling the scriptwriting, who is editing the audio, and what assets are ready for a social media campaign.
In past surveys, RTV 153-154 students said they appreciated the emphasis on shortcuts and hotkeys that were taught. When they enter these classes, there is a wide range of skill levels, from some who can start in the multimedia today to novices. Most have a basic understanding of Premiere. Helping a student get to the next level of editing starts with shortcuts. Think of it as less time hunting through menus, providing more time to focus on the actual editing process. The Softchalk lesson, Shortcut Guide to be a Faster Editor, is a learning opportunity featuring a list of useful shortcuts for After Effects and Premiere, YouTube tutorials, and gamification elements in which students break into teams.
This lesson stresses repetition, patience, organization, and, through learning games like drag-and-drop, fill-in-the-blank, and flash cards, hopefully some fun. To add to this concept, on the day of the lesson, I will wear a suit, have my hair slicked back, and carry a long microphone. To add to the game show element, I will have 2 buttons: a cheer and an incorrect buzzer.
