10/26 - Athenaeum at 1pm - Engaged Student Learning through Living History Documentaries

Please join us on Wednesday, October 26, at 1pm for "Engaged Student Learning through Living History Documentaries" presented by Robin O'Callaghan and Jim Reynolds.

"What I hear, I forget; what I see, I remember; what I do, I understand." This famous and often-cited Chinese proverb says it all! Learning by doing (i.e., active learning) can be a more effective approach to learning. Engaging students in hands-on, problem-based learning challenges them to become meaningfully involved with their education by requiring the direct application of classroom knowledge and skills. The WSU Living History project is a perfect example of this. The project is a video archive of former employees and their contributions, achievements and recollections about their career produced by Mass Communication students. During this presentation audience members will learn how creating video can help engage students in learning regardless of the discipline.

The Library Athenaeum is located on the second floor, bluff side of the Darrell W. Krueger Library. For the complete Fall 2011 Library Athenaeum schedule, please visit the following: http://www.winona.edu/library/athenaeum/
