I am so happy to have the opportunity to present on the collaboration that took place between myself and the amazing library staff at Chattanooga State Community College last year.
Combining the Proposal Research Paper and the Proposal Documentary Project in my first-year composition courses with instruction from the library staff members at every phase of each project did the following:
- Created a dynamic relationship between faculty, students, and librarians
- Invited students to become familiar with the library resources
- Allowed students to enhance their information literacy skills
- Exposed students to principles of visual and digital literacy
Tisa Houck, Lori Warren and Pam Temple

- Addressing Problems through Viable Solutions
- Composing in multimedia

- Broadcasting to the world via YouTube
