Student-created Media Resources to Prepare for Internships

Dietetics students at UBC take a three-week preparatory course, FNH 480, before beginning internships. This course has been re-designed to encourage student engagement and expand the utility of course materials by having students create digital media resources to support their fellow students throughout the internship, and to develop communication and media skills that can be used throughout students’ professional practice.

Also (potentially) of interest, I ran a DIY technology series this spring, featuring sessions on video making, copyright, poster design, storytelling, and presentation skills.
