Digital Project Consulting 1st Session Read the assignment/rubric and ask the student of their initial response to the assignment. Are you nervous? Are you confused about what is being asked of you? Do you already have a good grasp of what you want to do, but just do not know how to do it? Figure out where the student stands on the assignment. Then ask the student about their interests. Students are more engaged with an assignment that centers around their interests/hobbies. What do you do for fun? What software do you enjoy? What have you seen online that you thought was cool or inspired you? GoalsIdentify any applicable goals of theirs. Have they always wanted to learn a software, but have not done so because it seemed intimidating? E.g. have they always wanted to learn Photoshop, but have been intimidated/scared of it? Choose one interest of theirs. Brainstorm project ideas around this interest. If stuck, use this tool: Word Association Project IdeaWrite the project idea here. PurposeHelp them decide a project idea then together decide the purpose of the project or the why. Rhetorical SituationTogether determine the rhetorical situation (audience, purpose, context, author, genre). Definitions audience: the intended readership for a work. Who will encounter the work and how can you appeal to these people? purpose: the work’s intention. What do you want the work to achieve? context: the where the work will be located (e.g. online, on print/paper, etc.), the how it is meant to be encountered (e.g. with full attention or skimmed), the what that surrounds it (e.g. other works of the same type or work that are different than it). author: who created the work (e.g. you, a group, a company). Who is the implied or actual author of the work? genre: categories of work (e.g. a newspaper, a music album) that follow certain conventions or audience expectations. What genre does the work follow and what genre conventions will it need to adhere to? Design ChoicesTogether decide the design choices (emphasis, contrast, organization, alignment, proximity). Definitions emphasis: stressing a word, image, or idea in order to give it more importance. contrast: the difference between elements to make these elements stand out from another. organization: the way in which elements are arranged to form a coherent unit or functioning whole. alignment: how things line up (e.g. left, centered, or right aligned). proximity: refers to how close elements (or groups of elements) are placed near each other and what relationships are built as a result of that spacing. MessageNext, determine the message/thesis for the audience. Then walk the student through the digital tools available to them. Make sure to show the student: briefly how to use the tool (a second session will go deeper into the tool and how to use it) the digital tools potential to be maintained/kept in the the future (discuss DoOO and how they can add this to their online portfolio) the affordances of the tool (what its strengths and weakness are) Decided ToolWhat tool did the student decide to use? Briefly describe why this tool was chosen and the benefits of using. Pre-ProjectWhat work will the student complete before beginning the project? ResourcesWhat resources does the student need? OutreachDoes the student need to receive any more help from more people? TimelineCreate a rough timeline of the project below. Use rough dates and make sure to include dates for when the rough draft will be finished, reviewed, and turned in (due date). Rough DraftWhat form will the rough draft take (e.g. mock-up, storyboard)? Sustainability PlanWhat is the sustainability plan for this project, meaning where will the project “live” and how will the student ensure that it lasts? Schedule a DKC tutorial to teach the student the digital tool. Name of 1st Session Tutor Was a second DKC tutorial scheduled?
