Face-to-face (Saturday): Final Project Storyboard

• Part I: The problem
• Purpose: To introduce the audience to the root problem
• Images
• Still: Traffic; night sky; person at work; family at home
• Moving: Classroom workshop instructor
• Words
• Audio: "Students are busy people, especially graduate students who often split time between work, school, and family. Many university services cannot be taken advantage of without sacrificing valuable time. For this reason, new modes of instruction delivery that match students' lives are needed."
• Part II: Significance of the problem
• Purpose: To provide context for the research
• Images
• Moving: Screencast of document format requirements; screencast of formatting in Word, 
• Words
• Audio: "Graduate students have to format their documents to match a very strict requirements, something that is not easily accomplished without using Word's advanced formatting features. The workshops that are the subject of this research teach these skills to graduate students. Many students do not have the flexibility in their schedules to attend workshops that are offered in person.
• Part III: Conclusion
• Purpose: To describe the proposed intervention: webinar workshops
• Images
• Still: Student at home or work on computer watching workshop
• Moving: Video of in person training fades to video of student watching training on their computer
• Words
• Audio: "The intervention proposed for this research project is live, online and interactive workshops for graduate students. Being able to learn skills from home, work, or anywhere with an internet connection frees them to learn unhindered by geographical limitations. This intervention is technically possible and a part of the 21st century educational landscape, but is it effective? That is the question that this proposal seeks to answer."
