MEJO 121.11 and 121.12 (Owens and Wilson)

INTRODUCTION TO DIGITAL STORYTELLINGSPRING 2019 SEMESTER

Introduction

Welcome to this introductory media technology skills class at the UNC School of Media and

Journalism. Our goal is to introduce you to some of the reporting and storytelling tools and

skill sets that journalism and media professionals use in today’s online environments. We

aim to demystify the technical aspects of audiovisual production through hands-on video,

graphic and web exercises. This team-taught course will provide you with familiarity,

practice and insight into the current digital media landscape. However, what distinguishes

this class from a skills-only course is its focus on storytelling. As we build new technical

skills, we will focus on crafting compelling narratives using various media. We’ll discuss the

styles and strengths of each medium, and determine which best fit the particular story(ies)

and pieces of information you wish to convey. Think of this class as an internship: Fast-

paced with high expectations. Within the first two weeks, we’ll ask you to choose a story

topic. From there, you will create a website for your digital story that includes both an

infographic and a video. This multimedia package will serve as your final project.

Classrooms and time

For the first half of the semester, section 121.11 meets in CA 268 and section 121.12 meets

in CA 132. Sections will switch classrooms and instructors on Mon., March 5.

Both sections meet from 2:00 - 3:15 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Any joint classes will be in CA 132.

NOTE THAT textbooks are not required for this class. For the Web/Graphics section of the

course, the technical lessons will be primarily based on the tutorials from Lynda.com, as

well as articles and lessons from selected online sources.

Other useful links:

● Lynda.com tutorial access for UNC students: http://software.sites.unc.edu/lynda/

● Adobe Software for UNC students (including Illustrator and Premiere Pro): http://software.sites.unc.edu/adobe/

Course Goals

The School of Media and Journalism’s accrediting body outlines a number of values you

should be aware of and competencies you should be able to demonstrate by the time you

graduate from our program. Learn more about them here:

http://www2.ku.edu/~acejmc/PROGRAM/PRINCIPLES.SHTML - vals&comps

No single course could possibly give you all of these values and competencies, but

collectively, our classes are designed to build your abilities in each of these areas. In this

class, we place our emphasis on the last six bullet dots under "Professional values and

competencies" in the link above.

In particular, we focus on the last competency listed, regarding the application of tools and

technologies.


● You will learn to recognize, use, and know the functions and limitations of the

equipment and software introduced in class.

● You will be able to critique others’ work based on technical quality, aesthetics, and

story flow.

● You will be able to plan and execute a short, clean, logically-flowing product.

● You gain a number of the skills and experience needed for entry level web design

and development careers.

● You will be able to use a variety of the strategies and tools to create websites.

● You will develop awareness and appreciation of the many ways people access the

web and will be able to create a standards-based website that can be accessed by

the full spectrum of web access technologies.

Throughout this class, we will discuss how to best engage audiences using the tools you are

learning. Clear, ethical and engaging storytelling is the ultimate course goal.

Equipment Policy

As a student in this class, you can borrow gear from the MEJO equipment room. Everyone must

read the Equipment Room Policy and electronically sign the Terms and Conditions during each

checkout process. All gear belongs to the School of Media and Journalism, and you are

financially responsible for the cost of repairs or replacement if anything happens to equipment

checked out in your name. Please be mindful of the contract you have with the equipment

room. Failing to meet return deadlines and not communicating appropriately with Equipment

Room manager Matt Bachman will affect your participation grade in the video portion of class.

If equipment is not returned by the end of the semester, you will receive an Incomplete for the

class until the situation is resolved.

Attendance Policy


Similar to having personal time off (PTO) at work, you are allotted two absences without

need to justify or explain your reasons for missed class. Similar to extending beyond one's

allotted PTO, any additional absence past the two allotted days will result in a half-grade

deduction (e.g., a B becomes a B- at three absences) for each additional day of absence. As

this course is project-based and cumulative in its delivery of technical information, it is

important to attend each scheduled course day to receive new information and to practice

new skills.

Late Assignments

Accepting late assignments is unfair to students who have worked to turn theirs in on time.

An automatic 10% deduction will be applied to any assignment turned in late, with an

additional 10% deducted each 24 hours after the due date/time.

Grading

Work is graded according to the highest professional standards. Grades in percentages are:● A = 93-100%,● A- = 90-92%,● B+ = 87-89%,● B = 83-86%,● B- = 80-82%,● C+ = 77-79%,

● C = 73-76%,● C- = 70-72%,● D+ = 67-69%,● D = 60-66%,● F = 59% or below

Below is a guideline for how grades are described within this course:

● A, nearly perfect in execution, quality of work is exceptional ● A-, work is impressive in quality, very few problems in any area● B+, very good performance, did more than required, might struggle in one area only● B, solid effort, met all requirements, fair application of skill● B-, needs a bit more polish, pretty good handle on things overall● C+, good in one area of work, but consistent problems with another area● C, followed instructions, seems to understand basics but did the minimum to pass● C-, has glimpses of potential in a limited range


● D+, did not demonstrate understanding of the basics but tried● D or F, did not demonstrate effort or understanding of basics, incomplete

Honor Code

It is expected that each student in this class will conduct him/herself within the guidelines

of the Honor System (http://honor.unc.edu). All academic work should be done with the

high level of honesty and integrity that this University demands. If you have any questions

about your responsibility or your instructor’s responsibility as a faculty member under the

Honor Code, please feel able to see the course instructor, speak with the senior associate

dean of undergraduate studies in this school, and/or speak with a representative of the

Student Attorney Office or the Office of the Dean of Students.

Seeking Help

If you need individual assistance, it is your responsibility to meet with the instructor. If you

are serious about wanting to improve your performance in the course, seek help as soon as

you are aware of a problem, whether the problem is difficulty with course material, a

disability, or an illness. Please feel able to contact the course instructor as soon as you

perceive any warning signs of things that might adversely affect your class performance or

final grade.

Diversity

The University’s policy on Prohibiting Harassment and Discrimination is outlined in the

2011-2012 Undergraduate Bulletin at http://www.unc.edu/ugradbulletin/. UNC is

committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all members of our

community and does not discriminate in offering access to its educational programs and


activities on the basis of age, gender, race, color, national origin, religion, creed, disability,

veteran’s status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.

In this course, you are encouraged to represent diverse populations, diverse viewpoints,

and diversity of perspective in your own work. You are also asked to be sensitive to the

various backgrounds, perspectives, origins, and situations represented by the students in

the course, the students, faculty, and staff at this university, and the residents of this state.

Special Needs

The University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill facilitates the implementation of reasonable

accommodations, including resources and services, for students with disabilities, chronic

medical conditions, a temporary disability or pregnancy complications resulting in

difficulties with accessing learning opportunities.

All accommodations are coordinated through the Accessibility Resources and Service (ARS)

Office. In the first instance please visit their website at http://accessibility.unc.edu, call the

office at 919-962-8300, or email [email protected]. A student is welcome to initiate the

registration process at any time. However, the process can take time. ARS is particularly

busy in the run-up to Finals and during Finals. Students submitting Self-ID forms at that

time are unlikely to have accommodations set until the following semester.

Please contact ARS as early in the semester as possible.
