Graduate Media Assistant Project Cycle

Project Proposed

• images

• graphics
• audio
• video
• satellite
• computers

A description of the project will:

1. detail the project's instructional purpose
2. contain a brief plan of action, an indication of how achieving this purpose will be measured (formative and summative evaluation is encouraged)
3. outline a timeline (see proposal form).

LRC Approval

On approval of a project, the LRC will issue a written commitment. This will include:

• project summary
• funding amount
• outline of joint (faculty/GMA/LRC) obligations.

Development and Implementation

LRC staff are available for consultation and assistance throughout the project cycle. We anticipate at least four meetings will occur between the faculty developer, the GMA and LRC staff: 1) early in the planning/preparation stage; 2) just prior to implementation; 3) during implementation; and 4) at project closure.

Project Completion

Requests and plans for revision or extension should be submitted by the original project closure date. A project evaluation, outlining the scope of the project, student outcomes, and its impact on the GMA and faculty developer should be submitted upon completion of the project. A copy of project documentation and materials developed should be provided to the LRC for archival purposes. Interim evaluations may be requested on projects extending beyond one academic year.

Dissemination

GMA's and faculty developers will be asked to present project reports or demonstrate instructional resources for the language community. These presentations may take the form of casual roundtable discussions or open house poster sessions sponsored by the LRC.
