Susan Simon's support has enabled us to incorporate meaningful and innovative media projects into our course in ways we could not do on our own. The hands-on guidance and individual support students receive from Susan and the JMC team give them the confidence to experiment with a medium that is new to many of them.

Discover how approaches like these, and many more, may apply to your curriculum and teaching.
Digital Storytelling
Developing Vietnam: History, Environment, and Culture
This immersive foreign study program combines research with collaborative media production. Dartmouth students work with peers from Fulbright University in Ho Chi Minh City to co-create short documentaries that explore topics like urban life, food culture, and environmental change. Media serves as a powerful tool for research, storytelling, and global engagement.
Video & Multimodal Projects
SOCY 36: Sociology of the Family
In sociology classes, media projects connect abstract theory to lived experience. In SOCY 36, students conducted oral history interviews and transformed them into multimedia presentations, applying sociological frameworks to personal narratives and contemporary issues. The work enabled students to synthesize research, engage audiences, and communicate complex ideas.
Listening as Knowing
COCO 26: So, You Want to Save the Planet…
By shifting attention from the visual to the auditory, soundscape work challenges students to engage with the world in new ways. Sound becomes both subject and method, revealing that meaning is not only seen or written but also heard, felt, and interpreted through attentive listening.
